Even if you believe the Biblical narrative, he only had a lousy weekend before going to heaven. Some sacrifice that is.

I don't say what is or is not "The Correct" interpretation. I can only say what I think is more likely. On the other hand, to state that something written in a book many years ago, translated and edited many times since then "IS" definitely without question something is more than a little arrogant.

Why are you here making comments?
you make derogatory statements you think you are a Christian.
I came to this site to get away from superstitious people and to hear the opinions of people who make sense.
Please go plague your Christians and ask them how Christians should act.

retorts to the "Jesus died because" bs. And I'm correct: Sacrifices are a pagan idea, completely, and christians were an amalgam of previous beliefs.
3. I don't give one rat's ass how you or anyone else thinks christians should act, because it's all bs.
4. I can make comments anywhere I want as long as I don't insult anyone directly, which is what you just did to me.
