How can I be a Christian if I don't think that Jesus rose from the dead?
I dig a lot of the philosophy within the bible, I dig that Christianity is great at building social cohesion, etc.
Though, all the paranormal stuff surrounding Jesus, and the Tall Tales in the Old Testament are off-putting, you know?
I'd love to go to church with a chick and shit, but I roll my eyes when they talk about him rising from the dead

Just attend some mainline protestant denomination's services once or twice a month, nobody will care if you seriously believe in any of it. Catholics care a bit more, and Evangelicals are cray cray, but the reactionaries on here are a clear minority even among christians.

The problem here is that you don't think the paranormal aspects of our world ARE actually real and in FULL effect at ALL times.
If you don't realize the supernatural IS actually as natural as the rest of reality and it's fabric then you'd better have the faith to believe in it because most who know it's real work for the 'bad guy' and use it to their advantage to keep the majority of humanity in the dark about this fact alone. (the real source of their 'power')
That's the secret of virtually ALL 'secret societies' is that you sell out to something else (something evil) which in turn makes you more evil in turn because you're now merely a tool in that entities hand to be used at will (because you allowed it) as opposed allowing Creator God (Real God) use you for the purposes of good.
Christianity isn't a social gathering that's lukewarm Christianity, REAL Christianity is a battlefield (daily) and realizing it's such from day 1 till the day you die (and eternity afterward depending on where you go at that point)
Ephesians 6:12King James Version (KJV)
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
TL;DR
It isn't just "philosophy' senpai it's a way of life
