Very true. There must have been some emotionally-charged impetus for the explosion of Christianity. [b]He could have woken up from a coma, been in acceptable health for a while, and died suddenly from a clot to his brain or lungs, from the strain his body had been subjected to when on the cross.[/b] The resurrection was interpreted as a miracle, and the second death as the ascension of Christ to Heaven.

If you are interested in medical mysteries, you can find an explanation. [/quote]

OP here. This is a nice illustration of my point. To deny the Resurrection is to wade into conjecture; there’s not some obvious rival explanation. [/quote]

You can choose to believe what you want or need to believe and there is value to religion beyond whether it’s real or not…

But much of what was thought of as miracles back in the day now have scientific explanations. The PP gave you one for what could have happened. Do we know? Nope. No cell phones those days.

Then again, we have cell phones now. Lots of ways to prove what happened. And people still choose to believe what they want to…. [/quote]

What’s the value of religion beyond its truth?[/quote]

Does religion even have to have any truth? If I believe my God will protect and help me and feel calmer and more able to go about my day does it matter if that's true? If my God exists for others? What others believe or not? The whole delusion/sky fairy rant theme for atheism seems to hinge on organized religion. I haven't been in a church since 6th grade.[/quote]

Atheism is not just about religion. It’s about not believing in a supreme being who lets you live forever.

Ok but the paragraph you responded to didn't have any of that. Not every believer has the same bag of ideas.[/quote]

No, but eternal life is a pretty big deal.[/quote]
