It was a 2nd century addition.

This guy died for an interpolation because some scribe half a century later did not like the abrupt ending of Mark. The writing style is not even the same.

I heard about that. Mark just ends with someone telling the women at the tomb that Jesus isn't there, and they didn't bother to talk to anyone about it. End book.

Whoever wrote the story originally never considered that there would be gullible fools like G-C who'd come along and believe in a dead jew coming back to life!

Thanks very much, Mr Spoil-The-Ending-For-Me...
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Can we get "warning, spoilers" added to the thread title?

Actually a prequel movie came out recently, so I guess it wasn't. Oz the Great and Powerful.

It's the same with the book, which spawned about a million sequels.

Only the sick of mind and heart would find a death hilarious, yes I mean you Ryan.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

It's rather more poetic than hilarious. There is a distinction.
