JUST A THOUGHT - ON THE PURPORTED RESURRECTION OF CHRIST: FAKE NEWS, GOOD NEWS, OR TRUE NEWS? PART 2.









It is not given to them, as it was to their Christ, to be experienced with the certainty of occurring in one life time.

Something which is, if ever, likely to take billions of years. So, it the Resurrection 'Fake News.'  Or 'Good News', as the BBC's Radio 4 Easter Sunday Worship informed the congregation it is?

Well, it could be both, although it is rather ironic that Easter Sunday should fall on what has become known as 'April Fool's Day', on this day, in the year of 'our lord', 2018. 

It is 'good news', because it speaks of the 'hope or promise of eternal life.' At least, for those among the believers who, firstly, would aspire for such a thing which might be the same as asking for eternal boredom. 




And, secondly, are susceptible to falling for what can only be a remarkable deception.

And, yes, the story about the Resurrection of Christ is Fake, because it has no basis in scientific or historical fact. And it is an account which of an even which defies all logic and reason. 

It is what, in contemporary parlance, would be called a monumental scam, a slight of hand, or, more accurately, of body, as it were. 

A great illusion worthy of the best of 20th and 21st Century illusionists. Something which is not 'real' in any sense of the word, but has been carefully and deliberately contrived and refined to appear as if it was. 




Because, after all, is it not the same Christian, or Biblical Gospel which tells the faithful that their mortal bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of Heaven?  

And that they must, of necessity, shed it, before they can enter the Kingdom? 

How then, the discerning faithful Christian should be asking, did Christ took his mumaniod body to Heaven, when he apparently arose from the dead?

It is said that Jesus Christ came to Earth to show humans the way to Heaven, which many, it appears, believe to be a place, instead of a state of mindof being, so that they can follow him. 

To be continued!
