I've never given too much thought about it this way, but, while having my own little private online Jubilee with a few Christians about whether the resurrection happened or not, a thought came to me... I don't think I've heard anyone talk in detail about it from this perspective... I was told that the resurrection of Jesus is "the most important event in the history of the world", and that "without the resurrection, Christianity would not be true"...
The question that popped in my mind: why is it that the resurrection of a human body is so important, when god is supposed to be metaphysical? It makes absolutely no sense that the flesh and bones body of Jesus would have come back to life, then fly away into space in his physical form; I mean, the body had to go somewhere, right? The Bible says the apostles saw him days after his dead, but not in human form, more like an apparition (John 20:19).
Then there's Lazarus, and the dead walking the streets of Jerusalem... seems resurrection was trivial in those days.
Then I thought about the death itself... if Jesus was truly the all powerful metaphysical god in one of his 3 personalities, did he actually "die" in a human body? It can't be... so, where's the sacrifice?
The more I think about religions, the more I am baffled that people still believe in those incoherent, un-scientific, contradicting texts from ancient times.
