Oh, my... are we having a snit? Does it always make you angry when those doggone sane people decline to validate your religious delusions? You know... it is quite possible that this could be an issue of mental health, rather than an issue of mere 'belief'. You ought to look into that.
Anyway... modern biblical scholarship makes a very compelling case for the idea that Jesus never existed... that he was, in fact, entirely fictional.

Richard Carrier's review of The Jesus Puzzle is probsably the best place to start investigating this...

"There is not a single contemporary historical mention of Jesus, not by Romans or by Jews, not by believers or by unbelievers, not during his entire lifetime. This does not disprove his existence, but it certainly casts great doubt on the historicity of a man who was supposedly widely known to have made a great impact on the world. Someone should have noticed." ~ Dan Barker
"The Gospel story, with its figure of Jesus of Nazareth, cannot be found before the Gospels. In Christian writings earlier than Mark, including almost all of the New Testament epistles, as well as in many writings from the second century, the object of Christian faith is never spoken of as a human man who had recently lived, taught, performed miracles, suffered and died at the hands of human authorities, or rose from a tomb outside Jerusalem. There is no sign in the epistles of Mary or Joseph, Judas or John the Baptist, no birth story, teaching or appointment of apostles by Jesus, no mention of holy places or sites of Jesus’ career, not even the hill of Calvary or the empty tomb. This silence is so pervasive and so perplexing that attempted explanations for it have proven inadequate." ~ Earl Doherty, The Jesus Puzzle

Catholics do believe that Christ died for our sins and rose again to ascend into heaven. They take communion in remembrance of what Christ did for them. Also note that Catholicism is the first Christian religion and all other denominations are branched off of the Catholic church. I'm not Catholic, but I have a lot of respect for the church.

Yes, for people who do not know.
Why Jesus died For Us
He is our sacrificial lamb who shed his blood to cover your sins: past, present and future. If not he died at the cross in vain. He full filled (Luke 24: 44) and nailed the 10 commandments to the cross (Colossi ans 2:14). Christ did not die in vain (Galatians 2: 21). The spirit or the works of the law (Galatians 3: 2). Christ is the end of the law (Romans 10: 4). The law is our tutor no more (Galatians 3: 24 – 25). God will remember your sins no more (Hebrews 10:17). You are a sinner for life, there is nothing that you can do not to sin (1 john 1: 7 - 10). You can not go out into the world and do what ever you wish, just because Jesus covered your sins (Romans 6: 1 - 3). Hebrews 8: 7 – 13 (he wrote the laws into their hearts, so that you would know right from wrong.
If you have faith in Jesus and are obedient to God, then you are not under the 10 commandments.
If you do not believe in Jesus, then you are under the 10 commandments, now you need to bring your unblemished goat to the alter every year and sacrifice it to cover your sins but with Jesus, he is our new covenant.
You are justified by faith and not of your works

The only way for Jesus to have died and then risen again would have been for him to have died at the bottom of a lake--maybe John held him under too long! LOL!

No, I suspect that based upon Dr. Michael Persinger's discovery during research on limbic epilepsy, that the guy was in a three-day hypothermic coma due to restraint, the widely used drug reserpine and having limbic epilepsy.

I believe that Jesus died to pay the penalty for my sin, and rose again to win victory over sin and death. He lives to intercede for me. His Spirit lives in me, and one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit in me is love. I would never think of telling another person to go to hell, I would do everything in my power to KEEP other persons from going to hell. That's part of God's gift of love in me.

It seems extremely unlikely to me, other than in a metaphoric sense.
If he did, I think it would have been an important and shocking event that more than just his followers would have taken note and recorded it.

Rose, gardenia, lily, probably a lot of flowers have grown on his grave, since he's been dead for roughly 2000 years.

No i believe his followers took him and nursed him back to health to appear to have "rose again"
