Resurrections, page-33

I'm not really that interested in life after death, in the sense that I've had little control over very much in my life and I have no control over death. If there's nothing then that's fine. If there's something, then I've done the best I could with what I've had to work with.

I don't believe in physical resurrection at all. Jesus did not return in the flesh. He returned in as much that three days after his death His disciples began to teach again as they were taught. The reality of Jesus was His teaching and when after grieving for three days the teaching began again it was as though Jesus had risen from the grave. The rest is embellishment.

When Jesus raised the dead they were dead in spirit.

Those dead who came out of their tombs, this was the tomb of self. They saw the example of Jesus and though they did not join His cause before His death, the example and injustice of His death gave them the courage to be Christians and thus rise from the tomb of self to life.

At death the spirit leaves the body, there is no waiting period for some kind of resurrection. It is like stepping through a veil and the spiritual journey begins immediately.

The day of Resurrection denotes the return of a Jesus or Muhammad like figure and an opportunity to enliven ones soul through a renewed connection with Allah. A connection free of the contamination of 2000 years of Chinese Whispers and false teachings.
