tb_fanboy - this is just as likely:

Now before I start, you know I don't actually believe any of the nonsense in the Bible, but just for the sake of taking the piss, let's assume that the resurrection is absolutely real and historical.
Let me start with a preamble to illustrate the problem with it. Assume that one day, for whatever miraculous reason, all cats in town said "hello" to their owners. Would you think that it's caused specifically by Hans's cat, because she also say "hello"? Or does Hans's cat just get to be one of the mass of cats who did that weird stuff?
Or if there's an Earthquake and lots of houses collapse, would anyone sane think it was caused by Hans's house collapsing? Isn't it more likely that it's the earthquake that caused all the houses to fall down, including Hans's, rather than the other way around?
Now to get back to Jesus, brothers and sisters, let us open the good book to the gospel of St Matthew, chapter 27, verses 52 to 53:
52. The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.
53. They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus’ resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
So we have a day where great cosmic events happen. Earthquakes, the sun turning dark, etc. Some extraordinary circumstances are at work, clearly. And, more importantly, a whole LOT of people come back to life, including a newly executed Jesus. He's not the only one coming back to life on that weekend. He's one of literally hundreds or maybe thousands who wake right back up during those cosmic events.
Heck, he even goes to meet people on the same Sunday when all the other walking corpses walk into town and show themselves to people.
Just like in the earthquake example, what reason is there to assume that it's dead Jesus who caused all those cosmic events and resurrections, instead of the other way around? If we take the story literally, isn't it more believable that he's just yet another hapless guy who just had the good fortune to be caught in the blast radius of that event that raised the dead all around Jerusalem? Maybe if he were executed two days later, he'd have stayed dead.
The only argument for Jesus I can think of is basically an argument from ignorance, i.e., "what else could have caused that?"
I don't know. Maybe Yog Sothoth had a bad hair day. (After all, He is said to be the gate, the key and the guardian of the gate, and we know He can grant a resurrection.) Maybe some great old one was trying to break through and those guys slipped through the crack. Maybe someone was trying to raise a zombie army. Who knows? But there still is no reason to assume that when a few thousand wake up, you can know specifically which of them did it.
