I understand you. Christ and I are both liars and frauds.
christ isn't here to speak for himself, so we can't say for sure if he's a fraud or not.

Let's see, about 1 trillion people have been born and died since the year zero so there better be one humungous condo.....
Of course if you believe all that shyte, I have a great bridge for sale in Brooklyn.....

Besides that, the one thing you seem to miss is the whole central idea that only a very slim minority of those many billions will make the cut.
Originally posted by rwingettIt WAS an illusion. Even the bible says when he 'died' he was anointed with ALOE and other healing herbs. Aloe is not an embalming fluid which is what they would have used if he were dead. They used aloe because he was alive. So three days later, he magically reappears, the last anyone saw was him on the cross, but a little ER and he was back standing up, saying goodbye, and walked up the silk road, not wanting the Romans to get a second chance at offing him.
How can you be resurrected if you didn't die? He did die (at least according to the story), but didn't stay dead. He was dead for three days.
Of course there were some Christians, like the Gnostics, who believe that Jesus didn't really die. They believe that his death was only an illusion.
