You do believe Christ rose from the dead right?

That's why I said "beyond that the message is wonderful".  The story of redemption and salvation is why we celebrated.  Everything the 2-3 days before is make rising from the dead seem even MORE miraculous.  Overkill.

I don't know if you listen to the "Fatman on Batman" podcasts, but I'm listening to Kevin Smith review BVSDOJ and he agreed with me that seeing the Wayne's killed (again) was not needed at all...but he said that story is so well know it would be like someone asking  if Jesus was crucified or not.
