What kind of fucked up judge allows an innocent bystander to voluntary suffer the conviction of the guilty party's crimes and pass sentence onto them instead? If God loves man he should tell Jesus to mind his own business and pass on a minor conviction, where it doesn't affect us, but serves as a severe warning instead. Oh sorry, I'm judging scriptures written by goat herders by today's standards aren't I? Silly me.

Were it my son and he happily murdered other people, committing all sorts of crimes against humanity - I'd disown him and let the bastard frog-spawn fry.

Evolution debunks an Adam and Eve screwing up in Eden story. Even my old religious teacher thought it as nothing more than symbolism in Genesis and not to be taken literally by xtians.
