Resurrection myth?

(Spoiler alert for The Templar Legacy)

So I finished reading the book yesterday and I must say, it was an adventure. I didn't find it challenge any of my beliefs though. Could it be true? Could the Risen Christ be nothing more than St Peter's realization/acceptance of continuing Jesus work? Is it possible that Jesus didn't really physically rise up from the dead? I agree, the idea of Christ being resurrected in the hearts of the believers of his teachings seem to be a story that does not defy logic. It certainly is easier to believe in.

If I would go on and believe that Jesus was born into man and died as a man, that his bones too would eventually turn to dust, would that shatter my faith in Him?

Since I lost my grandmother and aunt, I've always believed that the greatest tribute to their lives are the memories of their good deeds, their laughter, and their love. In our hearts, they were resurrected. In our hearts they have found a permanent home. Why would it be less magnificent if Christ was resurrected that way too? Every person who gets to know and accepts His teachings resurrects the Lord in their heart.  Easter happens everyday.  For me, that ain't bad.
