There was a very interesting reader comment today on Andrew Sullivan's blog about Atheism & Mystery. My interpretation of the situation is the exact opposite. (Go read the comment now, I'll wait).

Factually maybe, but philosophically no.

One of the central tenets of Christianity is that Jesus was crucified for the sins of humanity and then rose from the dead three days later. Rising from the dead is a pretty spectacular stunt. In fact, many Christian apologetics site hold this up as the singular reason for believing Christianity is true. So what makes people believe that a Jewish Rabbi pulled it off 2000 years ago?

What is truth? A common definition is 'agreement with fact or reality'. Religions claim to be able to provide truth about the universe. But do religious people really understand the meaning of the word?

I've written before about feeling uneasy about the idea of having 'respect' for other people's religious beliefs. Respect for religion seems to mean that religion is beyond criticism. All our other beliefs and opinions are considered fair game for argument, but religious beliefs have special status in our society.

Is is wrong of me to wish I could see Stephen hit Hugh sexily with a golf club?
