Based on my own experience, the belief in resurrection after being frozen and dead 
is very comforting, but has nothing to do with logic. It's just a modern version of 
the belief in soul and afterlife and doesn't deserve respect. Everyday experience 
conditions us into believing in the illusion of continuity that effectively blinds 
us to the truth. It literally takes months or even years to develop necessary 
capacity to trust logic over intuition in this case. And when you do, you are no 
longer confused. Then, and only then, it becomes obvious why there's no such thing 
as resurrections after death. After Santa Clause, then God, cryonics will be the 
next thing you lose faith in.
