Also, considering your conception of God that you described above, you appear to be more of a deist than a Christian to me. So, are you a deist or a Christian?
I don't know what a deist really is although I've seen the word and probably misused it myself. I am a Christian because my vicar says that in my church we have bishops and archbishops who don't even believe Jesus existed. So, since they are Christians and nobody will deny that, I must be so all the more.
I know many atheists and fundies say I'm not a Christian but I think we've got to leave it to the church to decide. They are the ones who will be doing the rite of confirmation for me later this year when i'm back in England.
Questions:
Why would you let your church decide what you are?
Have you tried googleling deist?
If people that are specialized on the sublect of Jesus don't believe he existed why shoud you?
Don't be offended when I say this, but you strike me as someone who hasn't got a clue of what he's on about or doing. Please don't take it the wrong way, I do not intend to upset/offend.
Same with the mind.
Modern physics is fundamentally based on indestructability of information. This means the mind may stop functioning, but full information about every thoughts, feelings, whims, desires, perceptions that has ever been part of you mind also can never be destroyed, and can in principle always be retrieved and used to resurrect you.

How is a thought a matery? Isn't that like saying the words that come out of my mouth will never be destroyed?
And whats this about ressurection? How does that work?
