In reply to the discussion: An Easter Blessing [View all]skepticscott
(13,029 posts)14. Nice of you to presume to speak for all "believing Christians"
but the fact is that people come to realize all the time that their Christian beliefs don't make sense, and have no rationality behind them. And they come to that realization by many different avenues, by information and arguments from many different sources.
You're free to cling to your beliefs in people coming back to life all you like, but don't assume that just because you've closed your mind to anything else that others haven't.
