However, @Brian Brian, you sound really mean as you write about anything that could potentially be fraud. Should we talk about the ways in which Jesus' miracles might be fraud - or is that a blow below the belt?

I'm not going to draw this out any longer but I wanted to answer this. This is the last I will post in this thread without further evidence.
!. What is mean about presenting counter-evidence?
2. As I recall without looking, my "could be" was in answer to a "could be" from a previous post and was specific to that post.
3. It was unfair of you to bring up my faith when I very rarely do, especially as you know how important such is to the person who holds it.
4. Let's answer your point. Many many people swore they saw Jesus alive after he had died, some of those were the disciples who had run away when he was arrested, denied knowing him when asked and were so disillusioned about the gospel that after his death, they went back to their old jobs. A roman "watch" was put on the tomb after he was buried so that the disciples couldn't steal the body and yet the tomb was found empty early on the first day of the week. These same terrified disciples soon started boldly proclaiming that they had seen Jesus alive and had eaten and drank with him and that eternal salvation could be found in him because his death had paid the price for our sins, once and for all. Most of them were executed for standing up for their faith; only one wasn't - John - and he was exiled to the island of Patmos for his faith. A pharisee called Saul was out looking for Christians to arrest and throw in prison. When Stephen was being stoned to death, Saul looked after the murderers' outer garments and consented to his death. On the road to Damascus, he had an experience that left him temporarily blind and convinced him of the truth of the gospel. He changed his name to Paul and wrote the letters that form the bulk of the New Testament. He died in prison for his faith.
Let's compare that "possible hoax" to a single Tik tokker who is claiming to be two people. Your comparison is not only weak it is an insult and your last comment that I have put in bold text was just plain nasty!
