re: #150 HappyWarrior
That’s where I always struggled too. I can accept Christian teachings as valid but I cannot accept a virgin birth and a resurrection. In short, I see it similar to how Jefferson and many men of his time period did.
That is why I do not go to church, most Christian churches I have been to recite some variant of the Nicene Creed and I feel silly sitting there looking on while people profess believeing that virgins can give birth and that the dead can be raised.
Sorry, virgins do not give birth (at least they didn’t in the days before artificial insemination), and if Jesus got up and walked out his tomb, it means he was not dead in the first place when they laid him to rest there
