Christianity without the resurrection falls apart. It hinges on the fact that Christ died for our sins and overcame death. If he did not rise from the dead than we have no salvation.
Without that, all that is left is perhaps a good, moral way to live but there is no purpose, no reason.
Some would argue that a good and moral life is in itself a good reason and a purposeful life.
I don't begrudge anyone that lives, according to the laws of the society they live in ( what other gauge can they be measured by in this case?), a good and moral life.
We don't need God to act in a good way.
Self-preservation is enough of a reason for most people.
I, however, believe there is MORE.
I believe that WHY we try to be good is more important than actually being good.
I do NOT think that self-preservation is a good enough reason to be good ( and history shows I am right).
I believe that we are far more, capable of far more, KNOW that we NEED far more than simply existing.
Christianity is the answer to the question that my soul and spirit always asked and nothing was ever able to answer.
