In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.

Or at least I hope it is.

>What is it?

It's kind of hard to describe. It's got poetry and prose in it. It's science fiction, but it's also extremely religious. The work I'm actively writing right now is only part of it, the whole thing is going to be much longer and it will probably take me years, even decades, to complete.

My dream is that it's the greatest work of art of the 21st century. That's a big dream. But I'm very ambitious.

OP had to say this because if Jesus really did rise from the dead Nietzsche is permanently BTFO. The Resurrection is the ultimate refutation of Nietzsche.

OP is not far from the Kingdom of God. He is right to assert that if you do not literally believe in the Resurrection of Christ, you are wasting your time as a Christian.

Most of us know by faith. But it's not just a matter of being gullible or credible. Newman teaches us that faith is an act of the Reason that is operated on by divine faculties. Faith is a product of revelation, not just in the Scriptures but in each individual heart. Faith is a two-way street. It is man reaching out to God, but also God reaching out to man.

So, to believe in the Resurrection you have to open yourself up to the idea that God is real and can actively be present in your life. The idea that God manifests Himself in the world, not in some abstract and philosophical way but in a real, tangible, material way, one that touches the heart and the marrow of man. A way that's just as physical and tangible as the literal Resurrection of Christ.

The Christian God is not a God of abstract concepts. He is a God of flesh and blood, and living and dead. You must accept this, and accept that He is very real and can work in your life if you invite Him in, before you will understand Christianity.

Fuck off, Ted, you're a dumb atheist and that's why you're doomed to despair.

The entire reason we give any credence to the things Jesus said is that he rose from the dead. St. Paul talks about this, this is where the "If Christ is not raised, we above all are to be pitied" line comes from. Christ's authority as a teacher and an exemplar comes from the fact that he said he was going to be killed and rise from the dead, and then that's exactly what happened. Christianity is a big waste of time if the Resurrection isn't literally true.
