I knew someone would bring up the resurrection story. Good job!

But there’s a difference. If you believe Jesus is God (we do), the story is completely plausible.

I am absolutely with you on that one. I became a Christian at age 12 and then joined a southern baptist congregation. My point is that it's not about what is likely. The Bible is full of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

The extraordinary fact is that Jesus was crucified, and three days later he was gone from his tomb.

In reference to the LDS church, I left because I came to hold beliefs that were in opposition to LDS theology. It no longer made sense for me to remain a member. That's not a slander against Mormons, most of which are fine folks and good citizens.

We had a Jesus Week at the college I worked for and one of our church members, a young man, portrayed Christ on the cross for quite a long time (he was exhausted when he was done). One of the young girls next to me was a Mormon and she thought the whole scene was ‘disgusting.’ It was apparent that she didn’t believe in Christ on the cross for all mankind.
