More on religion...
So when you think about that whole "destined to die" thing associated with Jesus Christ of Nazareth, nowhere in any of the predictions about a savior does it say anything about crucifixion. That means that he could have died any way, but it just HAPPENED to be crucifixion thanks to the vast influence of the Roman Empire. This arbitrary means of death, however, has been adapted into a symbol that is synonymous with Christianity. Devout Catholics bless themselves with the sign of the cross more times in a day then they wipe their own asses. For these people in particular, it is a GOOD thing he didn't die in a more complicated manner. Can you imagine if Jesus had been run over by a rogue donkey cart? Then Catholics would be outlining their heads and torsos with the sign of the ass cart which, for someone like me who has problems drawing simple geometric objects, would be very hard. Even if it was shortened down to just the sign of the ass, cloven hooves are just so hard to get right.
In conclusion, thank goodness for Roman domination.
In further conclusion, I need to stop obsessing about religion.

Imagine if he died of emphysema, you'd never have to be embarrassed by a coughing fit in church again...you'd be full of the Spirit of the Lord.
Or a brain aneurysm; the majestic sound of hundreds of people slapping their heads in unison...

It's a good thing JC lived 2000 years ago and not today when he could have kicked it like Terri Schiavo. We'd all had to mime being severly retarded every time we were blessing someone which would just be mean. Then again, if it would make Bill Frist insist I was a genius just by watching foud minutes of video footage of me drooling...

I agree...And on the third day he used his catheter tube is MUCH less dramatic than on the third day he rose again.

I see nothing wrong with obsessions with religion, especially Catholics. I mean, Catholics get away with preserving odd body parts of their saints (I know for a fact there's at least one finger on display that is over 100 years old). And yet, when any of us *normies* feels the need to keep deceased folks' body parts around we're "freaks" and "scary". What a double standard.

I think Bill Hicks had a point when he said:
A lot of Catholics wear crosses around their necks. When Jesus comes back, do you think he ever wants to see a goddamn cross?
