It really hurts me to think that people feel that they need to feel deep hurt because I've rejected Christianity.
In a way, it's like it hurts me that people can't understand that I've got something that's just as wonderful for me...and I'd like to say that it hurts me that they can't see it like I do and have it for themselves...
...but if I've got something this great, but they've got something else so great that fills the same spot ib their life...then how can it hurt me?
It's like...I've got Hagen-Daazs ice cream, would you like some? Oh, you've got Ben and Jerry's? Cool! Well, uh...here's a picnic table, wanna share?

For example, see:
The Archko Volume (haha, just kidding!)
Tacitus
Pliny the Younger
Eusebius of Caesarea
Justin Martyr
Philo of Alexandria
Tertullian
...as it's one of the central points in any argument of the truth of the resurrection, the burden rests on you to answer it.
Interestingly enough, the same could be said about any arguments against the truth of the resurrection; if you can't prove that it DIDN'T happen, why would I have cause to accept your claim over mine? =\
