    quincemyles - First century Greek and Hebrew Historians wrote that he rose up appearing to more than 500 humans.

    Are you talking about the gospels?

    Naw, the fiction attributed to Mathew 27:52-53

    That account is not about resurrection to life but bodies being forcibly expelled out of burial places because of the massive earthquake. Mt. 27:51 very clearly says there was an earthquake and that very historical event is not unique. It has happened over and over again in different places throughout history when earthquakes forced bodies out of burial places.

    You are cherry picking like there is no tomorrow. if you can be this dishonest with yourself then it's no surprise you believe in tall tales.

    quincemyles - imo thats plausible particularly in communities under exceptional stress. What cannot be explained is put at the centre and then a way out is sought and provided by what is put at the centre during episodes of extreme conditions. thank goodness cos if this were not so humans would have died out long ago!!!

    imagination shouldn't be dismissed as soly producing illusion and fiction as it really does provide a way out making reality along the way - nice talking to you quince

    christadelphian? not me. my post was based on the anthropologist Mary Douglas' research (including those who took up her points later on).

    Am I the only one here who realises that the gospels are not historically reliable...?

    Quincemyles, if satan was human or a personification of temptation, who the hell was Jah talking to during the heavenly meetings in the first chapters of Job?
