The Christian doctrine has the compulsive necessity to establish, as an absolute dogma, Jesus' corporal resurrection. According to Paul: " If Christ didn't resurrect, then... our faith is void" (Corintians,15,14). As if physical resuscitation is a condition without which a religion cannot exist.
Buddha died and was cremated. Mohammed died and was buried. They did not resurrected. However, both Buddhism and Islamism did not disappear as religions and their followers are not less faithful, dedicated or ardent believers than Christians.

In "In Search of the Truth" we also suggest the substitution of an ethically failed doctrine, Christianism, by another, Jesuism, that seeks to rescue that wonderful Nazarene pilgrim. who, two thousand years ago, preached love, charity and hope, in the fields and cities of Palestine.
