Jesus Christ was a victim of torture and the death penalty.
Strange how so many of his supposed followers seem to adore the exact same methods that killed their Lord and savior.

Truly odd.

1. Yes, very true
Odder still, is the lack of any of Jesus' teachings in everyday America. People are greedy, rude, ignorant and selfish - all the while wearing their crucifix.

It's delightful, wouldn't you agree?

:)

The prominent display of Christ's torture device is a little creepy, too.
People rarely stop for five seconds and think about the meanings of the symbols they so cherish.

5. Yeah, I hear you -
That's why I used the word crucifix instead of cross - Let's get down to brass tax on these things, you know?

2. he was not a victim, rather, a recipient...
the whole thing was planned in advance by his old man according to the bible.

3. Good point
Of course the pro-death penalty and pro-torture crowd probably has an excuse even with that point

4. When I bring this up to Fundies, they usually clam up.
And mumble something about how their faith is none of my business.

6. Dead Kennedys have a great song "Jesus was a terrorist"
that basically talks about how jesus was put to death by the state for disrupting things, like a terrorist... all of it basically true according to the Bible. Its obvious but also thought provoking these days.
