Quote:Jesus taught the exact opposite moral values that had been taught in the Torah. He renounced the idea of judging others. He renounced the stoning of sinners. He renounced the seeking of revenge as in an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, and instead he taught people to forgive each other and to turn the other cheek.
Negatron. Much of the nastiest shit in christian myth comes directly from the mouth of this particular babe. He didn't renounce the stoning of sinners, he reserved the responsibility for himself (he without sin). He renounced the human drive for revenge, instead reserving it, again, for himself, in any sort of cosmic judgement, or end of days scenario. Turning the other cheek does nothing but to promote wickedness and suffering, as removing the consequences of those actions as undertaken by human beings is to remove the only deterrent we have available to us.
He's still the same fuzzy thinking desert god.
On the other hand, I completely agree that jesus was a patsy. Of course, he would have been wouldn't he. He was created as a scapegoat, to be tortured in our stead. He was always going to be a patsy, just another unacceptable and sick piece of this particular myth.
