Christianity

Two billion people believe a man rose from the dead. What does that tell you? Do you mean to tell me two billion people are out of touch with reality and need psychiatric help? I doubt that. What’s really going on? Think about it.

I believe Jesus soul rose from the death, not his body. So i believe in spiritual resurrection. I am not a christian but I know many christians believe in spiritual resurrection. But it is not bad or wrong to believe in physical resurrection. Its part of the christian religion. And no, two millions people do not need psyciatric help. Religion is not madness.

So they believe in resurrection into a spirit realm? What else is going on? I think there’s more to it than just saying you believe in a spiritual resurrection.

Yes they believe in a resurrection into spirit realm. There is not something else going on

I think the majority of Christians believe in Jesus’ physical resurrection. That pretty much defines a Christian.

Most of them, if not all, believe in resurrection right?
Muslims believe Jesus was raised by God into paradise. But they do not believe Jesus died on the cross

Bahais believe in Jesus spiritual resurrection. That jesus soul but not his physical body was raised to paradise

Judaism do not believe in Jesus

In sikhism they believe Jesus was a saint by God

I think I can take it a step further and ask, what do they really believe? Surely, 2 billion people don’t just simply believe some guy from Jerusalem rose from the dead 2000 years ago. Christians are strong in their beliefs for a reason and that isn’t it. It goes deeper.

In my opinion, the fact that two billion people believe in Christianity is a good example of the Argumentum ad populum fallacy (see here). It appeals to a group's beliefs, preferences, or values by claiming that a particular opinion or attitude is correct because the majority of people share it. Another example of this fallacy is that thousands of gullible conservatives in the United States believe that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Trump, despite the fact that more than 60 lawsuits were lost contesting the election results and the fact that insufficient fraud evidence was found to support their belief.

Oh ok, so just the majority of Christians believe he physically rose.

It is because of reason that more and more christians only believe in spiritual resurrection of Jesus. That only his soul was raised by God to heaven
