The character of Jesus is far worse, he said he’ll offer you vicarious redemption by way of human sacrifice. Gross.
(And worst of all he didn’t even stay dead. What sort of sacrifice is that anyway? He missed out on a weekend to save the world from the rules he created in the first place.)
- jariel 6y agoWhat he 'missed' was the real opportunity to enact justice as part of the 'Judean People's Front'. For that alone he deserved what he got. Edit: Meant to say 'People's Front of Judea'. Edit 2: Sorry - 'Popular Front of Judea'. I guess I really need a tool to help me sort that out, like an 'API' of some kind.

- sjwright 6y agoFor anyone who is unaware, the above post is a direct quote from the 1979 comedy film Life Of Brian, which is the context from which "Judean People's Front" is derived. The quote is speaking about someone whose name is Brian and is not a reference to any actual religious figures.
- sjwright 6y agoIn case I am misunderstood, the above represented literary criticism of the broader narrative and story arc of the Old and New Testaments. To anyone who feels personally offended by this criticism, I unreservedly apologise.
