As Botswana will be celebrating “Independence” this week, a wild thought flashed through my mind that we are on a daily basis fed the narrative by religious fanatics all over the world that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the key to Christianity.

We are told that if we don’t get that, then we will never get any salvation. For the Christian, it’s a pity then that life itself doesn’t get it. Life just doesn’t do resurrection. So the Christian is left hanging by a thread called ‘blind faith’.

I have always wondered that if Jesus really existed, then he didn’t rise from the dead. To me he just died like every other living thing that lived in the past. Of course, this doesn’t stop people believing in the resurrection of Christ. But that says more about the human condition than it does about Jesus. People just can’t let go of metaphysical hope.
