Jesus: The Prince Of Peace

I would never want to be a member of a group whose symbol was a guy nailed to two pieces of wood.. -George Carlin

The symbol of Jesus being nailed to a cross is big in Christianity. If Jesus was around (under the assumption that he existed) he would probably be sicked by how he is remembered and portrayed in art. In-fact Christians worship the image of the guy being tortured on 'two pieces of wood' which does violate the rule against worshiping idols (that is another discussion on its own). Some people find inspiration in imagining a guy being sacrificed -- Jesus is loved not for his message, but for the scape-goat he provides.

I'm sorry but it's not my fault that dumba** Eve ate fruit from some tree. Where is the logic? Eve eats a fruit that makes being naked is embarrassing, God gets pissed, so he comes down thousands of years later in human-form, get's executed by Romans, and this causes him to forgive humanity. Christians can understand this, but somehow evolution just doesn't make sense.

Anyways, back on topic -- Christians claim to love Jesus, if someone that you loved was arrested, then tortured on two pieces of wood, would you want to remember this person by wearing a plastic/metal replica of this around your neck? Seems a bit demented to me, but so does the concept of human sacrifice in general -- which is exactly what Jesus was, a human sacrifice. They claim that Christianity is a step-up from the Old-Testament, I suppose that is relative. You try sacrificing a loved one by nailing them to a cross them stabbing them in the rips and see how it goes over. Human sacrifice is so 2,000 years ago, and so is Christianity. Get with the times!
