If you do to a human being what the death story of Jesus IN REAL LIFE you would DIE, there would be no more you, you do not survive death, there is no such thing as a "soul" or "spirit", when your brain dies you die, no more you. 

In all of antiquity humans made up all sorts of hero deities, Jesus is simply another hero story. Everyone loves the underdog motif. Luke Skywalker defeating Darth Vader. The only difference between the two is one is believed to be real when it is not, and the other is rightfully accepted as si fi fiction.

Humans invent all sorts of god/s, deities because it is merely projecting a desire of continuing. There is no such thing as "immortality". In 5 billion years our species will have long gone extinct, our sun will either expand or collapse and kill our planet and our solar system will die and the galaxy and universe will go on with NO RECORD that humans were here and the god myths and religions will die when our species goes extinct regardless.



Energy never die so to speak Brian.
Even science say so.
It just get recycled.
Nothing die in this universe.
There no evidence that anything die so your guessing stay a guessing.
Guessing and evidence are two different stories.

Too many people get fooled when they see a body and think that his-her consciousness
is dead too.
Don't be fooled Brian.
Isn't worth it.  Lightbulb

No, science does not say that because atoms move on that a single atom can behave like a adult in tact brain. Yes atoms move on, no shit, that does not make ANY god real, not yours not any, science merely says atoms make up everything. But there are huge buildups required to go from a single atom to an adult brain. You are trying to confuse a single tire as having the capability of being the in tact running car. When your brain dies YOU DIE, that is it, a single atom by itself cannot retain the same function as an in tact brain.

Atoms exist, atoms get recycled, therefor Allah. Still make sense to you?
Atoms exist, atoms get recycled, therefor Yahweh. Still make sense to you?
Atoms exist, atoms get recycled, therefor Buddha's reincarnation is true. Still make sense to you?
Atoms exist, atoms get recycled, therefor the Hindu creator God Bhrama is real. Still make sense to you?

How about the least complicated explanation as to why humans claim any god/s/deities? How about humans simply project a fictional concept of immortality because they like the idea and have vivid imaginations?

None of biological life or the universe needs a magic super cognition to explain. For the same reason you know Poseidon isn't needed to explain why hurricanes happen. For the same reason you don't need Thor to explain the existence of lightening.
