Does this really seem appropriate to other people? What does the use of this comparison mean to our society and religion? It seems strange to me. I liked the story about the Camel fitting through the eye of the needle. Thanks for posting the info. [The comparison is normally in the context of discussions about evidence for the Resurrection. The claim is that rumors about Elvis' still being alive form a model for how the church might have come to believe that Jesus' was resurrected even if he wasn't. --clh]
