based upon your antiChristian bigotry.

Can you please point to me the "antiChristian bigotry" in Dave S's post?

Obviously the historical question is about purported resurrection, not his existence or death. There is more historical evidence for Jesus than for many figures of distant history. But the claims of the Bible are not historical fact. Catholicguy may accept them as such but that doesnt mean that historians do. It's a matter of faith, not history

Apparently some people dont have any faith. They feel that something has to be historically provable in order for them to believe it. I'm a Christian and I believe in the resurrection. I doubt that there is much historical evidence for it from other than church sources. If Jesus' disciples on the road to Emmaeus didnt recognize him and Mary Magdalene thought he was the gardner, I doubt many non-connected Jews were going to recognize him as he hung out with the disciples until his accension.
