Perhaps you don't need to comment until you read the logic of the "Crucifiction" and how Long Jesus was nailed to the tree.
Most of the world of the higher educated don't by the fairy tale of Jesus died for our sins, or other gilt trips that organized religion invented along the way to get buy-in from people that appear to only be able to read one book and keep blinders on about all others.
Reading one book does not suddenly make a persons knowledgable or educated. The only miracle there is making people thing that they suddenly become informed.
Using one book for citations is pretty much looked down upon, when there is an aboundance of other works that don't support the Empire building political idea built into the Bible Narratives. imho

The Opening Posting considers that Jesus was nailed to a Cross and did not die because he was taken down early because it only appeared that he died. He either passed out or the gave him a drug to knock him out so it would appear that he was dead.

Well, in answer, the Christians didn't lie, there were no Christians then. Just Essenes and Hebrews.

Resurrection should never have been part of Christian doctrine.

LOL. You're missing one major piece. The Roman soldiers were the ancient world's version of the green berets, they knew where to stab you to ensure you died, just incase you managed to survive being killed, or crucified. Not to mention Jesus was stabbed in the side and blood and water came out, and blood only turns to water in someone who has been dead a while. Lastly, jews had to be buried the same day they died, there was no ifs ands or buts about that. Not to mention he was crucified on the eve of Passover, so the gaurds had to ensure he was dead in time for him to be buried so that Passover wouldn't be defiled.
You can make all the arguements you want, but you know nothing about ancient jewish burial rites, least of all when it comes to the High Sabbaths.
Not to mention, being nailed to a cross is a horrorific ordeal, your body weight dragging you down and every breath is a literal struggle, most people die in 45 minutes from asphyxiation.

Ahh, yes, worship self, ye can be as the gods...
Where was it I heard that before, was it a Johnny Cash lyric?
Hmmm, don't worry, it'll come to me...
"Did Jesus really claim to be God, or is that belief a misunderstanding of his words? Some words Jesus spoke reflect his humility as a servant and his limitations as a man. However, on other occasions Jesus made claims that only God could make."
"But what did Jesus Christ said say about himself? What did Jesus mean by the terms, “Son of Man,” and “Son of God?” If Jesus wasn’t God, why did his enemies accuse him of “blasphemy?” More importantly, if Jesus wasn’t God, why did he accept worship?
