Since I am a Christian and do not want to skew the results could someone post them here? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

"But there could be resurrection without christianity."

Christianity is the belief that Jesus Christ was the Son of God, died for the sins of mankind, and rose again on the third day. You'll find this belief is universal among those who call themselves Christians.

My fault, Spam. I should have made the results available. The results are 19 yes and 17 no. (One of the yes votes is mine--so I could see them.)

Thanks, could you update them occasionaly. I am interested in this as well.

Fine, so anyone who believes Jesus was resurrected but not the son of god wouldn't be a christian.

That's the camp some of us could be in if we became convinced that Jesus was resurrected.

If I ever saw someone do all the things that Jesus supposedly did in the bible in such a way that even the Amazing Randi couldn't show was just a magic trick or some faith healer type show gimmick, then I would instantly fall on my knees and kiss his feet and proclaim him my savior. And if I could miraculously do all these things myself, I would expect any reasonable person, even Sklansky, to instantly discard any previous thoughts they had on the issue of faith and decide to worship me.

Subtract my vote, and it's even 20 yes and 20 no.

Yes, because rising from the dead is such a common thing. Let's assume that Jesus did infact "resurrect". If not God, whom?

If I became convinced that resurrection took place I would instantly check myself into a mental institution.

I answered yes of course. If I were convinced that Jesus rose from the dead, I would return to Christianity and its not even close. It would have to be pretty strong evidence, because as of right now I am not even convinced Jesus even existed.
