An odd thought

As an amateur writer of modern fantasy and fiction, I have some interesting thinking patterns. Trying to apply the unreal to the real makes my mind ever so wacky in certain arenas. So I was watching an episode of Bullshit (watch lot of them here for free) in which Penn and Teller were busy pointing out that the bible cannot be "true" if you intend to take it literally. Though I do rather enjoy listening to that kind of thing, put my minor to use and all, but while they were talking about the death and rising of Christ, as well as the miracles that included raising the dead. Can you guess where I'm going with this?

That's right: Necromancy. So Christ was a necromancer! That makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? Think about it. Necromancers are those who hold the very power of life and death; they can give you life or drain it away. They can animate your corpse after you are dead and even put your soul back in your body and grant you a second chance! What else would Christ be? He's raising people from the dead left and right and defying death itself, wresting his way back from the grim embrace to return to tell the good word more!

This of course, leads me to my next logical conclusion: maybe Christ didn't raise from the dead... maybe he became a lich! That's right, his death on the cross was an elaborate part of the ritual transference of his life energies into a safe place, letting his immortal body roam once more without fear of damage. The only problem there is figuring out what exactly he could put his spirit into that would be safe enough for his liking. Not many glass jars about at that point. But that way, in raising to heaven, there's no more worry about Christ aging too much before the second coming.

This is what's wrong with me. I just like the idea of raising people from the dead too much. But does anyone think there's a short story to be found in a necromancer raising Christ from the grave for reasons all his own? I think there might be.
