Very interesting talk but he gets one thing completely wrong - Christianity is not about putting Jesus back into the tomb Christianity is about why the tomb was empty

Watch again!

"Belief systems also carefully delineate a border at which thinking stops (p.44). We find “true believers” (as Carse calls adherents to belief systems) struggling against a real or imagined other, but ultimately also struggling against the challenge to their beliefs that comes from within. " Unless, of course, you ave allowed religion to stop your thinking!

Hmmmm. At this point in the conversation, does it not seem odd to speak for all of Christianity as one person? Considering the massive scale of it's interpretation, are you sure you wish to speak for all Christians? I take your comment to mean: "[My Christianity] is not about...". And if I do that, your statement is acknowledgeable, and I honestly appreciate that you offered your opinion.
