Reply #52: Thats the whole point of him being a deity, he physically returned to life

He was not human, but a god. I understand the christian belief to be that his body came back to life, and after a short time here (maybe 40 days, which is a biblical number) he whole physical body left the earth to return to heaven. I don't think the christian belief is very similar to the Frankenstein legend. Its more about a miraculous event performed by a god than human science reanimating dead tissue.

Like many others on this board, I consider myself an atheist. I don;t believe Jesus was a god. There is sufficient evidence of a man named Jesus for me to believe that he existed and walked the earth. I just believe he rose from the dead. I believe he died like the rest of us do.

The Sam Kennison bit was pretty funny. I've seen it many times. I bought those dvds his brother was hocking a few years back and he does the bit at a show on one of the dvds.
