Dear Jews and Romans

Having watched all those "---- movie in 5 seconds" vids (with 'Titanic' possibly being the funniest) I not only want to buy the dude who creates them a drink, but am pretty fucking certain that I won't need to see 'Passion of the Christ', ever.
 
Fools! Yoooouuuu have no perception
The stakes we are gambling, are frightfully high
Weeeee muuuuuuust crush him completely
And like John before him, this Jesus must die
For the sake of the nation, this Jesus must die
MUST DIE, MUST DIE, THIS JESUS MUST
JESUS MUST
JESUS MUST DIE!
 
Actually, I'm torn between being happy about killing Jesus and hating it...
I like it because, hey, why not.
I hate it, because the jews created a monster... they created christianity...
or was it the Romans? I don't know... whoever killed jesus.

My interpretation of the bible/historical evidence:

Jesus was just a man trying to reform the things he saw as corrupt in his own religion (Judaism). He wasn't out to create "Christianity." His followers turned out to be mostly douchebags who never really got it. If you play the telephone game with the teachings of any ancient prophet for a couple thousand years you'll end up with something resembling modern organized religion.

If I could still give you rep, I so would :)
 
Jesus was no monster. 1000yrs of theological dogma made a monster. The Romans killed a monotheistic nut-job, nothing more.

Also, if the Romans must be blamed, it's Constantine, the Edict of Milan made Christianity legal, before that it was a cult.
 
An interesting discussion came up at the local atheist activist group's Good Friday barbecue... supposing (big if, but run with it) Jesus was in fact real, and took some time in the carpentry trade as the story goes, do you think he knew the guy who made his cross?

OK, I got ya. Now if you're going down this road, what kind of workmanship do you think went into that thing?
 
Oh, no, if they didn't reuse the same chunk of wood over and over I'm sure the thing had nicks and splinters to fuck and back - they're crucifying a bastard, not hugging him to death. I don't doubt for a second that they'd just be interested in making sure their logs would last longer than the sod they strung across them.
