correction: attempted murder

Yup! Because of his attempted murder and his birth I get to celebrate Christmas and Easter even though I'm not religious. Thanks Jesus!

I always thought it was a state execution. Didn't he break the laws at the time? I'm no expert here, so correct me if I'm wrong, but in the time of Jesus the State could put anyone to death for various reasons...or no reason at all. In that case I don't think it would be murder would it?

I saw chocolate crosses at the grocery store.

It seems a little surreal.

"Buy cutesy little representations of a simple structure that was once used to torture people to death! Only $6.99!"


They'll have theme park rides at some point where you can jump off of a little flaming WTC tower into a concrete-colored airbag.

I celebrate the murders of Zoroaster and Attis of Phrygia.

The story as I was always told it, sounds more like a state-sponsored lynching. Dude wasn't a threat to Rome or the Empire, but he was an embarrassment to the senior people in the Israeli power structure, so... well, in the words of Marion Barry, "bitch set me up!"

No. Hay-sus got deported. Juan now mows my lawn.

He had a child out of wedlock

I played Jesus in a skit at my church today. He was participating in "conflict resolution" with Pontius Pilate, for the lulz. My Jesus costume consisted of a white bathrobe and a small but colorful tablecloth rolled up and posing a Jesus shawl. We are not your usual church.

 

[MrRamon]

Lmao, great response. I love how there are dark skinned Santas and a white Jesus. When Jesus was more than likely dark skinned and Santa is white. Do the two white guys behind the dark skinned Santas represent the other two that were nailed to the crosses next to Jesus?

Dogmatically, Jesus would have had to have been somewhat dead. Otherwise, the whole religion makes even less sense.

 

[Pheran]

Even more screwy is Passover. "Hey, let's commemorate that time when the god we worship murdered all those innocent children!"

 

[Mixolydian]

People certainly have no problem with that these days!

it's cool as long as it's not your children, though.

My wife love it because peeps go on sale.

She likes to microwave the poor things.

You're a week early, Good Friday represents when he was crucified. My church has a bacon and eggs brunch and a service but I'll be getting off night shift the day before so I'll miss it, but will be going to the Easter Sunday service then my mom is making turkey and stuff. Probably end up eating lot of chocolate too. Especially when it goes on sale. :biggrin:

Jesus died for our sins, it's a great thing to celebrate.

 

[Ken g6]

I've never understood why they call it good Friday. Seems like a fairly bad day. And shouldn't it be three days before Easter, not two?
