However, the chances that he'll die for it if he knows for a fact it isn't true is much, much slighter. And the disciples died for it.

Did I say they were perpetrating a huge fraud? I don't recall. Maybe they were, but chances are many of them were just deluded.Why would they believe if they were, as you and others have stated, simply perpetrating a huge fraud?
Well that's perfectly fine thats what you believe and I won't hound you for that. But on another note; it was always my understanding that Jesus was sent to be the king of the Jews, and serve as THEIR saviour. And the Jewish tradition at the time would have believed that if Jesus was their true messiah, when he was nailed to the cross and killed, that would be the beginning of the end of the world and that all of "Gods People" aka the Jews would go to heaven leaving all others behind. Also in older texts, the name Barrabas was also found having the name or "title" Jesus infront of it, ex. Jesus Barrabas, Jesus Christ. Barrabas meaning "Son of God" and Christ meaning "King of the Jews". I always thought that interesting. But again I am not trying to sway your thoughts on religion, if your beliefs make you happy then that is wonderful but at the same time i don't think you should cast out those who question the bible, as I think you should do a little more.
Hmmm...this sounds like someone who thinks a lie is being knowingly perpetrated.
But no, I don't think it's true because there are martyrs. What I'm saying is the people who were closest to Jesus, including Jesus himself and many thousands of people who were exposed to him, believed it, and were willing to die for that belief.
and im asking you if you think EGYPT BELIEVED that their pharoahs were gods.
"unlikely" is your opinion.
In the Christian narrative of the Passion of Jesus, Barabbas, according to some texts Jesus bar-Abbas,[citation needed] (Aramaic: בר-אבא, Bar-abbâ, "son of the father"), was the insurrectionary whom Pontius Pilate freed at the Passover feast in Jerusalem.
