"History asserts."

*History* asserts no such thing. Some people assert it, based on a 2,000 year old book. They believe it on faith, not based on historical evidence, as there is none. We barely know if Jesus even existed. Just as many people assert that Mohamed is the last Prophet of Allah; they too have a book that makes that claim. They also have the same amount of evidence = none.

If you wish to believe in the Resurrection, that is your right. Don't pretend you have anything but faith to back you up.

Your assertions don't equal evidence.

Do you live within the borders of the United States of America?

Carolina in your name seems to imply that you do. How do you stomach living amongst a majority of people (In the Carolinas) that believe in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ? Are they all just completely deluded psychos? How far do you have to drive to avoid a building that houses your fellow citizens who weekly are being taught and believing that Jesus rose from the dead on the third day?

There was a time in history when people believed based on tradition, but these United States of America changed all that. We can congregate with whomever we please, because there is no coercion. We are millions of rational, productive souls who contribute more to this society than any other group. Our free Christian heritage sets us apart from all other nations of the world and in history.

You must feel a foreigner. Talk with your local Christian that you find respectable. They may attempt to persuade you to change your mind on these things. Our Lord Jesus was persuasive, but never coercive; unlike other belief systems in this world, including Scientism.
