i made no claim for the eyewitness for Jesus' accounts. but the writers themselves

It's hard to be sure what was going on in prehistoric times, but I doubt there was ever a human society in which people could copulate whenever, and with whomever, they felt the urge, without fear of negative consequences imposed by other members of their society.

And I think that the continued existence of laws against incest indicate that reproductive restrictions are still very much an issue.

It seems like the restriction on reproduction is a recent social issue, certainly hasn't been an issue as long as marriage has existed.

Our survival as a social species requires the imposition of certain restraints on our reproductive activity. Most of the time, in most places, most people are not allowed to reproduce without accepting those restraints

I agree with point on reproduction, what does marriage have to do with reproduction?

Catholicism (or maybe religion) is a strange old thing. I recently gave up on my faith, for sound and good rational reasons, and yet, as the months go by, there is that "gut feeling" that you mention,

For some years after I left the Pentecostal church, I couldn't shake the feeling that in some sense, I still belonged with it.

Self-preservation is most often the default action of humans,

So is reproduction. That's why humans get married.

Presumably it is impossible to breathe with a pierced side. Lungs require an intact chest cavity to work. So did the risen Jesus breathe? If not, how did he speak?

That's the neat things about miracles. If you can violate one law of nature, you can violate as many others as you need to.

is that not easy to understand?

Of course. It's trivially easy to understand, but being understandable doesn't make it true. And your say-so doesn't make it true, either.

it's not my dogma.. i repeat it again.. the writers were themselves eyewitnesses.. is that not easy to understand? i use simple english
