In reviewing the material posted on the internet about this book, it seems Kris Komarnitsky avoids two essential, crucial points (bullet proof points), that is, (1) people don't willingly die for what they know is a lie and (2) group hallucinations are impossible. If you ask God for a perfect proof of the resurrection of Jesus can we think of any better proof than these two points? I think not! If the body was found in the tomb then Christianity is dead. If there was fraud -- someone stole the body -- a stolen body does not account for the eyewitness testimony of the Apostles seeing, talking with, eating with Him, even touching, in various group settings (not just individual settings) of which the Bible provides 12 group accounts. Paul said he spent 15 days with Peter and time with James, and then 14 years later with James and Peter, with John also (read 1 Cor. 15, Gal. 1 & 2. If all you had were these 3 chapters you would have ample evidence Jesus is God and raised Himself from the grave. It seems clear to me the atheist, naturalist, etc. is himself experiencing "cognitive dissonance reduction" because he is unable to find a naturalistic explanation to account for the eyewitness testimony of the Apostles in various group settings, and he is unable to find anyone in human history who was willing to die for what he knew was a lie. People simply do not do that. Therefore, we must conclude, as no other option exists, that Kris D. Komarnitsky is going to Hell and has chosen to eternally separate Himself from God.

"Doubting Jesus' Resurrection" by Kris D. Komarnitsky
by bohm inthis is a very simple idea i had not encountered before, and i hope other will find it interesting to.
the essay is taken from http://www.infidels.org/kiosk/article809.html, but i would also strongly recommend the more recent answer to wlcs critisism of the argument at: http://www.infidels.org/kiosk/article835.html.
