Like the great Hitch said, if I'd been there at the time, I'd have felt the moral obligation to try to stop it.
Based on what? If you had been there you would have grown up in a blood lust culture, and you morals would have been shaped by it just like everyone else. So anything telling you to stop it' would simply not be there then. either though conformity to your soceity or fear from the religious leaders or fear from Rome. If I would have been there i would have ran further than Peter. Unless i was working for the man then I should think I would have been the guy to drive those nails myself, then figure out after it was all over that I just killed God incarnate.
I hope you die in a fire. Painfully. To think you can even speculate on what I "might do". Or God, even. I thought that was the point of free will, that the potential for good is always there. You Christians have your horrific, offensive, insufferable lies so bollocksed up over one another you're constantly tripping over your own lies. It's like when I was young, and my father would take me fishing and ask me to unwind a rat's nest of fishing line that had got all balled up. Inevitably, these rat's nests ended up in the drink (god knows how?), and that I would advise of you, is to toss it all in the drink. But you will not do this. Not because you think that your god cannot err, but because you believe you did not err. This is hybris, which formed the core of Greek tragedy, as the Greeks, sensible, knew that those possessed of this hybris, were destined to burn in the end. You likewise, will burn in the end, even if your God is real, because you don't know enough to, "Let go and let God." You feel this incessant need to speak on his behalf, yet I see no wings upon you. Whence comes your authority? I think it cometh not; only arrogance, and presumption.
