You had the right idea, at least.

And which of Scientology's deities was publicly executed, then appeared alive to over 500 people weeks later?

Not yet, but it could happen! Jesus's supposed ressurrection is hearsay at best..

2,000 years ago, it was a big conspiracy by these ex tax collectors, fishermen, etc. to start a world wide religion. Yeh, right. These guys all walked away from their trades, their economic securities to follow this Rabbai, who didn't promise them anything of material security. Why would they stick their collective necks out on this, Jesus guy? Why would there be so many followers that knew that picking Jesus might be their death sentence? Were they mindless Lemmens? Why would they not renounce their faith in the Colloseum, and avoid being torn asunder by lions, tigers, bears, or swordmen? Is it because they held onto a reality that superceded even the 5 senses of earthly life?

You could argue that about Jim Jone's followers, Muslims, scientologists - any religion...

No, Jesus' resurrection was witnessed by over 500 people, a few of whom wrote about it in a book called the Bible.

Direct written testimony is hardly hearsay.

Who were those 500 people? What were their names? Occupations? What did they ACTUALLY see? Did they see Jesus go into the tomb? Arise from the tomb?

What testimony? And don't say the NT either, because with the exception of certain facts (Herod was king, there was a place called Judea), the vast majority of the book is hearsay.

Why Tommy himself, in one of his movies.
