OBJECTIONS
Massive silence outside the Bible
People are prone to lie, make mistakes or use hyperbole
People are known to create false religions and events
There is no scientific support
The historical support is of the least reliable variety
No example of people coming back from the dead outside of folktales; and all remain unverified
The resurrection makes no sense theologically; its highly unreasonable for a god to use it for any purpose
Human sacrifice and subsequent reanimation are easy enough concepts to develop over time as myth
Writings are most likely late and not eyewitness accounts
Many hyper religious people, such as the early Christians were / are prone to delusions.
That is, delusions and subsequent folktales can explain the resurrection
Follow the evidence wherever it may lead.http://i.imgur.com/AHma5OEh.jpg
