BTW, he didn't actually rise from the dead because that is absurd. They wrote that bit in after the fact. His teachings are what made him popular and are what was important.

My "Really???" was regarding the juxtaposition between your statement about studying and minoring in religion and then your complete lack of understanding of the relevance of the crucifixion to Christians.
You don't have to believe it, like it, agree with it, but one would think you'd understand the general premise behind the religion due to being so edumacated on the topic.
