Reply #45: It's all about the message.

It doesn't matter if it really happened. The Christians say it did, the atheists say it didn't...IT DOESN'T MATTER. It's all symbolic. Consider the story about "the little boy who cried wolf". How stupid would it be to argue over whether there really was a little boy or wolf, where or when did it happen. Way back two thousand years ago people didn't understand concepts so philosophy had to be explained in stories.

It's a waste of time and brain energy to argue the details. Instead, look at the meaning. The best source to understand Jesus is "A Course in Miracles". It explains how crucifixion and resurrection are representative of what all of us go through all the time.

Wishing that all of you here at DU experience your own resurrection this Sunday. Let's think resurrection for the Democratic Party and for our country and for the world.
