re: #18 Old Liberal

I could never figure out why they needed an inside betrayal to arrest him. He reportedly gave speeches in public. And the kiss thing… can you imagine the lineup and you say “it’s the one I kiss” and the police say nah you can just point with your finger

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.
