Re: God as Hypothesis?

Peter,

“The literal resurrection of the body has huge implications for how we live now..”

Does the “literal resurrection” or does “belief in the literal resurrection” have implications for how people live?

The fact is that people believe this, say they believe this and act in the name of the risen Jesus. Whether it did or did not happen is almost beside the point as to whether it has implications for how people live. We know that it has implications because we can see them.
