Serious question to Christians?

...The resurrection is thus the crucial factor in establishing the exceptionality of Jesus Christ. Frank Morrison, a British lawyer of the 1930's undertook an expedition to collect cirstantial evidence to disprove the resurrection. (Such evidence is admissible in all courts of law in civilised countries to prove or disprove events of which there are no living eye-witnesses). When he finished sifting and ysing the evidence, he reached a stunning conclusion: that the resurrection had actually taken place! He has pieced all his evidence together in his book, "Who Moved the Stone?" The first chapter of this book is entitled, 'The Book that Refused to be Written'. In this chapter, he tells his own story of how he set out to disprove the resurrection and how he has ended up proving it. The remaining chapters of the book are devoted to a scholarly examination of the evidence. One of the factors that need to be considered in this context is the psychology of the disciples. They were 11 cowardly men who shut themselves up in an upper room because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Later, some of them returned to their original job of fishing apparently because they thought that the cause of their beloved Master was a lost one. What galvanized them into action so much so that within their own lifetime, much of the then-known world could hear the message of Christ? Some of them paid for His message with their lives. Would they have done so if the resurrection was a hoax? ...
