While this is a funny hypothetical exchange, it actually is a picture of an all too common attitude toward Christianity. People are not generally well informed - they don’t know what Christianity is really about; and people try hard to avoid the issue - they at least appear to be not at all interested. The answer to this problem is, in a word, resurrection. How so? Paul lays it all out in his dissertation on the critical importance of the resurrection, in 1 Corinthians 15. First, the reality of Christ’s:

Indeed, if the resurrection of Jesus after his tortuous death on a Roman cross of execution is not real, we have no hope of eternal deliverance from the consequences of sin. We remain lost in our sins - eternally separated from God; there is no real release from death. Paul says that our faith is worthless and we who subscribe to it are pitiful. We are better off believing in nothing at all. Let’s not remain uninformed about the central importance of Jesus’ bodily resurrection from the dead. Also important is the reality of our resurrection:

Indeed, if these perishable, mortal bodies are all we get, when they break or wear out or otherwise stop working, we are done. That is it! Not a happy thought. No wonder people avoid the subject. But, if the resurrection is real, if it defines our future hope, we can rejoice! Our final estate is living in a new creation, in imperishable, immortal bodies, with no curse, no sin, no pain, no mourning, no death (see Revelation 21 - 22). We will be with the Lord Jesus Christ and all who have received him - forever. This we can know, and care about. Have a blessed (and happy) Easter!
