More Wisdom from Carl E. Olson

Or, to take a common example used by some atheists: believing in the existence of Jesus (or God, as the ‘argument’ is often presented, never mind his Resurrection from the dead), is like believing in Santa Claus… [but] so strongly did those first-century men believe in both Jesus’s existence and his teaching, almost all of them willingly died for their beliefs. So far, no one has turned up evidence of anyone accepting martyrdom for belief in Santa Claus.

— Carl E. Olson
