@ComedicBizman This is great, Tej. I would add that if we allow so that the emotion will go away, it’s just another control strategy. So the allowing must be unconditional (aka love).
@BrentBeshore My interpretation of what you are saying is that Christianity necessarily involves believing he rose from the dead, which is fair. My pushback to Lewis’ quote then is that one can believe that his rising was more symbolic (and thus false) but still inspiring (and thus important).
