    Jesus can be kind of spooky. I mean, from the treason part onwards, he becomes a bit weird. I guess torture and death can radically affect even the best of us.

    I’m not religious but I also have nothing against people who are. But I never understood how the most popular Christian symbol is a guy being executed

      It’s to honor the sacrifice made. Although in the end it wasn’t really a sacrifice, not even the prophesied three full days. Just a long weekend with the payoff being returned to godhood. What the writers should have done is made it so Jesus was still in hell being tortured for our sins until the end days. That would be more of a plotline to suggest a sacrifice.

        I often feel Christianity is far the most confused on the Abrahamic faiths. Judasim and islam are increasingly becoming more corrupted 20th century onwards but Christianity was confused by the time jesus was dead. Whatever the Romans practiced was miles away from what Jesus spoke about and whatever America practices today is essentially the anti Christ

    Any loophole where you can make Jesus super fucking sexy so both you and your grandma can be happy with the wall candy?

    I’m pretty sure they didn’t have duct tape back when the guy was crucified

      Yes they did. Duct tape is famous to be made by the gauls but the Romans stole it after they found out how useful it was and that’s how they held Jesus up on the cross
