What eyewitness testimony? We have only the Bible as corroboration for this "testimony"; a source which appeals to its own authority and a shaky authority considering that the earliest any gospel can be dated is to around 30 years after the alleged death of the figure in question.Witherington also points out that gospel texts are far less reliant on the observed fact of the Resurrection (there is no angelic command in them like the line in the Gabriel stone) than on the testimony of eyewitnesses to Jesus' post-Resurrection self.
When ballots have fairly and constitutionally decided, there can be no successful appeal back to bullets.

Oil an emergency?! It's about time, Brigadier, that the leaders of this planet of yours realised that to remain dependent upon a mineral slime simply doesn't make sense.
