Response to the objection "9/11 bombers were also sincere" — the distinction between sincere indoctrinated believers and sincere eyewitnesses

The objection: sincerity does not prove truth — 9/11 bombers were also sincere about their religion. Mike's response: there is a critical distinction between sincere indoctrination (the bombers) and sincere eyewitness testimony (the Apostles). The Apostles are not merely sincerely indoctrinated — they are sincerely claiming to have personally witnessed the risen Jesus. An eyewitness who dies for what they claim to have personally seen is a qualitatively different form of evidence than someone dying for beliefs they received second-hand.
