That's probably because nobody is promoting them. The point remains that people will believe things that cause them to give up their lives, and those things can be false, meaning that simply because a large number of people died for a belief is not a reason to believe what they did. The arguments refuted suggested that there wouldn't be so many people dying for a false doctrine, and my point was that that is not correct.
None of those words makes me believe that anybody saw a man three days dead get up and walk around or leave the earth, or that people don't concoct stories or die from believing them. Isn't that the argument - that there must be more than a bunch of mistaken people if so many died willingly for their belief?
How hard would it be today to convince a bunch of people of something false that gets them killed believing it? I already mention the Covid vaccine disinformation. How hard was it to get that woman that was killed at the Capitol building to die for a false election hoax belief. People are easily deceived, even unto death.
No, not different in a relevant sense. People being lied to, believing the lie, and dying for that belief is pretty much all the same thing, the differences being the particular lie, the number believing it, and the number dying from that. How many Americans have gone to war and died for the lie that they were defending freedom? You could also argue that because there were so many of them, they must have been on to something, but that would be incorrect as well.
You called it.
