In the accounts of his life, bodily resurrection is something specially attributed to Jesus, probably more as a demigod-bonus.
Well if the way you interpret the story is as flexible as all that, then just how do you 'hold' your faith? Is it all wisdom stories and parables with those who recognize them as such keeping it on the down-low? I think many clergymen loose the literal beliefs but stay in the community and to feel like the shepherd. I'm probably making too much of this.
