If you don't believe the ressurection is a fact, why bother?
Is there in you some intrinsic animosity with that claim? If this is
the case I would ask myself why I should feel that way. According to
your reasoning evolution did not happen because some pepole deny it,
in fact some people deny man has been on the moon. Please, search
independently of the scriptures in Jesus rose from the dead. Do you
believe that Ceasar existed ? Well, there is more documentation on
Jesus resurrection thqan on Ceasar's existance.
