...well, ya know, it all boils down to this -- what happens when you die?

For the dust to dust crowd, it doesn´t matter what you believe...after you´re gone, what can affect you?...

For the recyclers, it doesn´t matter too much what you believe...just a matter of future comfort/discomfort when you do it again...

For the return to the Cosmic Ocean, it doesn´t matter too awful much...for all is forgiven and illuminated in the end...if there was anything to be forgiven in the first place...


But if you believe the testimony of One who returned from the dead...
And if you think that´s an easy trick to come back to life after you´ve been dead for a couple days -- try it sometime...it would make headlines -- and that´s the point of the Story...and why the Story still persists -- (not no goobledy-gook about conspiracies or fear-manipulation-control perpetuating a myth...humans are so fickle, they couldn´t stick to one human constructed myth if their lives depended on it...) -- Someone came back from the dead...and either that´s something you would want to do, and sounds legit, and requires what your heart really wants anyway (loving God and loving other humans)...then the Story is the best thing you´ll ever hear.

But if you feel you don´t need to do anything about being dead, then have at it -- be dead when you´re dead...if you're not interested in believing that one thing (that Jesus rose from the dead), then you´re likely to not be interested in anything else He has to offer.
