His comment was accurate and funny. Jesus was treated horribly when he was on earth.

A small correction though, firetooth, Jesus does "show resistance." Not through violence, but passive resistance. There are countless examples in the bible.

Also, I agree with cloud, moose is my favorite poster.

Whatever. He suffered big-time. Why discuss it with such levity?

Lol, I'm sorry Muse, but you are quite hard to take seriously. ;)

Why?

I could go into depth about why the crucifixion was tragic, and how you need faith to understand that so you cannot expect it from the unfaithful. But mostly, I think you need to realize that tragedy is funny. You laugh at it all the time, whether you think you are or not. A social condition of humans is to create humor out of horror because it helps us get through life. To quote Michael Scott:

QuoteThere are certain topics that are off limits to comedians: JFK, AIDS, the Holocaust. The Lincoln assassination just recently became funny. 'I need to see this play like I need a hole in the head.' And I hope to someday live in a world where a person could tell a hilarious AIDS joke. Still one of my dreams

[edit] and yes, I consciously decided to refer to Michael Scott from The Office, rather then referring to Shakespeare. That's because I'm a totally sanctimonious butthat.

You just take things far too seriously. Just lighten up a bit and accept a joke for what it is. It's not a joke that's really going to offend you unless you go out of your way to get offended. The fact Peace Alliance, as a christian, found the joke funny shows that.

Allright. Fair enough.

This topic has become a spamfest. This is the turbo forum, it should be discussing matters in the game only. Since the original topic has been dealt with & nothing productive has come of it whatsoever since, I think it's gone on long enough-- a few pages too long, infact.

Topic locked. Take it to the spa please people.

A serious discussion about religion can be started in UMD if anyone so wishes to go down that road.
