OK, LET’S GET THIS ONE OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE PALM SUNDAY: Easter is coming, so expect to hear in the mainstream media and cable entertainment channels objections to the Resurrection among the intellectualoids, one of the most common being that Jesus didn’t really die on the cross. He escaped and fled to India or Japan (and no, that’s not an April Fools Day joke, there are people who actually believe it).

One of three big reasons that’s beyond far-fetched, according to retired LA detective and cold-case expert J. Warner Wallace, is that Roman executioners knew dead bodies when they saw them. Something to think about as Americans mark the holiday for the first time ever while staying at home.
