It is rather sad that on the eve of the festival of Easter we should have had yet another anti-Christian diatribe from Rory Mulvihill.

I am afraid he must have had a personal reason to turn against the Christian faith in general.

However, I think this faith will survive as it has done for 2,000 years. If it had been a faith built on merely implausible events as Mr Mulvihill claims, it would mean that all those who have died rather than renounce their beliefs would have died for nothing, and this would include the disciples of Jesus who were themselves witnesses of these events.

I think the evidence is weighted on the side of the truth of Christianity and we can safely ignore those who try to cast doubts on the Biblical accounts of what happened in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
