That's an excellent point. Not technology, but people ask me for tips on playing golf. I tell them what I think they need to correct and how to do it. And they start arguing with me. And I'm like I don't care if you play like shit, you ASKED ME for help.

**The concept of resurrection wasn’t even new when Christianity started **

You point was clearly made by the Bill Maher movie "Religulous"

It's the same "story" recycled over and over with a bit of a different touch based on the culture

Because it's an interesting theory. And if it's true it certainly doesn't make you a believer

I find it fascinating that many of the true believers actually believe he was born on December 25th. They have no awareness of how this date was conjured up to compete with other existing non religious celebrations.

We all tend to think that the existing technology when we grew up was the benchmark and always existed. Many people are alive today that went to college before computers even existed. Back then the closest thing to a computer filled a room and worked with punch cards. On the smartphone side, how many even remember those pink pads that were used to write down phone messages. Or dial up internet over a phone line with those strange noises as the connection was made.

The initial question is always "Do you believe in god" But the answer to that question that I never see is "that depends on your definition of god. I believe that there is something behind all of this. I have no idea what it is but there has to be some meaning to it. That could be no different than the life existence of a squirrel for us humans.

But they certainly were no more human than the rest of us.
