[quote=Anonymous]I think the only thing in that interview I disagree with is that if Jesus's body was found, our faith would be the same. No, I don't think that could be. But I agree with her that the core of our faith is also that God who made the universe cares enough about us to experience human life and lain and death. It's the incarnation i hang on to when the resurrection seems impossible, too.

See, I think she's right that none of us saw it, none of us really know, Mark's gospel that ends with a question mark is how we live our entire lives and how we die on this earth. Faith is the hope, not the absolute knowledge, that he lives again and that we may too. She didn't say it isn't true, just that she doesn't know - there's a yawning chasm of difference between denial and doubt. We're not the disciples who saw him again, and we don't know what heaven could look like.

But hey I grew up in the UCC and came back after an atheist period, so maybe I'm just more comfortable being uncertain than people from other backgrounds! [/quote]
