Whether or not Jesus survived the crucifixion isn't the point; in fact, the historical Jesus (if he even existed as a single person) is almost impossible to ascertain. What is the point: humanity has been deliberately manipulated, lied to and brainwashed (yes, brainwashed: you think it easy to step around this mythological premise, with its deeply ingrained fear of damnation should you do it? Try it.) In the process of leading the 'faithful' astray, consciousness has been severely affected, prevented from evolving (as I believe it is intended to do, and I'm hardly alone in that belief), and the "supernatural" gifts with which we are all born have been systematically denied and condemned. Isn't it time for those who seek the Divine to cast aside the extremely powerful and wealthy who intend to continue to perpetrate this fraud so long as they can get away with it? I think so.
