i've already expressed my revulsion at the whole "christ died for my sins" business in the first place (in a nutshell, if the price for my 'forgiveness' is the torture and execution of somebody else, i'd rather be unforgiven)... but one supposedly has to accept jesus into your life to reap the benefits, and by refusing to do so (i.e. not being a christian) one is increasing jesus' suffering.

the irony is, the people who've been telling us this tripe for two thousand years... CLEARLY view the whole crucifixion business as a good thing. i can just imagine their inner joy if they were there, whereas if i was there i'd do what i could to stop it.

I'm not exactly 100% Christian, but I've been raised around Christians and am still sort of forced to go to Church and a Christian Youth Group, but from what I've seen people view Jesus's crucifixion with a sort of sad appreciation. I understand completely your point about how terrible it is to live at someones expense, but the way Catholics particularly view it is that albeit horrible the way he was killed, and sad the loss of the messiah etc, it was a display of love by God for us by sacrificing his only child etc. I do find that a little disturbing, but most Christians look beyond that and at the overall purpose of the act for inspiration/faith.


yeah
