Not at all. It is a question of the credibility of the message. If someone who through the resurrection is confirmed as messiah, the annointed one of God, then we are obviously more inclined to accept the message than if someone like me was going around talking about what God wants of us.
If there is no resurrection then why is his message any more important than anyone else?
I critically evaluate every important message upon which I will base significant life decision, regardless of the source. Who says something isn't nearly as important to me as what they say. If his message is more important, it's because of what he said.
Blindly trusting something someone says because of who they are leads to disaster.
