re: #22 mmmirele

I’m now at the point where I can actually consider, without feeling like I am betraying my faith, the very real possibility that the whole Passion narrative (that’s the story of the death of Jesus) is made up out of whole cloth. That, by the way, is a hell of a thing to admit.

It makes for a compelling story, when you’re trying to convince people your chosen prophet is the bestest evah and they should follow him.

What I could never wrap my head around was why God, his omniscient/omnipresent father, let Jesus be arrested, imprisoned and then killed. Like, couldn’t Jesus have done a better job spreading the Word if he’d been allowed to live a bit longer?

Not sure I could trust a father who would let his own son die, just because.
