  1. Sure, death sucks, but why single out this one? Lots of people die. In fact, lots died from crucifixion. The death of one man doesn’t make all the others insignificant. Was Jesus not a man but actually a god? If so, that fact has yet to be shown.

Even if he weren't a god, he served as a martyr executed by an empire for a large amount of followers. That should... seem like it means something. These points all feel like just desperately trying to make Cool Anti-Christian Content out of things that weren't addressed, mainly out of virtue of not being worth addressing.

I find them all to ring true; I mean even with respect to the crucifixion he wasn't the only person the Roman Empire sentenced to that fate, and he wasn't the only person they did that to who claimed to be God.

So why him, out of all the people who were similarly crucified? It just doesn't follow.

Because he's the one people followed? It seems simple to me. A lot of people get executed, a few remain as martyrs.

Isn't that on the level of claiming that Christianity true "because lots of people believe it?"

No? I'm explaining to you the concept of a martyr.
