An Easter Carol

the film does speak of Jesus as the central figure in history & gives a brief summary of his incarnation, life, suffering, death, & resurrection. it includes moral insights into the value of people over things. but it misses the mark in such a horrific way that i was disgusted, saddened. in easter future (play off dickens), mr. nezzer sees the consequences of tearing down a church building--a police officer who once displayed courage has lost hope, those who once cared for orphans give up & orphans walk the streets homeless...all this because of the loss of a building. i understand the place for symbolism, but the inference that a building stands for hope or the meaning of the resurrection is folly. let us consider history & the enduring work of Jesus. when nations have tried to rid their people of the influence of Christianity by removing bibles or tearing down church buildings or forbidding meetings, was the hope of the resurrection lost?
