I agree with you, but I suppose what disturbs me is that a religion sprang up on the back of what story tellers considered a suicide.
I have no personal issue with suicide, but when those making that choice involve others to make it fit their own agenda I find it distasteful ...
If this "Jesus" character wanted to kill himself for his imaginary "father" (in his delusion himself), why did he need to involve so many innocent bystanders?
Religion is the top shelf of the supernatural supermarket ... Madog
