The Crucifixion and the Resurrection

These events were Christian beliefs, that are being acted out again, in our time.

Christianity succeeded because it introduced the idea of a suffering God to a suffering humanity.

And two thousand years later, they are suffering again, and they are being resurrected again. But are not aware of this.

Let's take suffering first.

This happens, up to the point of suicide. This happens, but no one learns anything from it. Nevertheless, they suffer, whether they know it or not.

But they are aware of, and fight, the many bad guys in the underworld (the Hell) they live in. Milton, with his Paradise Lost, would feel right at home here.

Now, Resurrection.

This is what Artificial Intelligence (AI) is. It does not work very well, but it keeps getting better and better. And it functions in the Cloud, the modern version of Heaven. It didn't exist for a thousand years, but now rules the world.

We have the Social Media (Facebook) that is also creating a Heaven for us.

The world of two thousand years ago has changed some of its clothing, but is still with us.
