Why does God hate babies who have not sinned?

I wrote about it here - http://morethanmorality.blogspot.com/201...ction.html

I'm not sure what that has to do with the dead walking the streets and appearing before many people. I used 'zombie' lightly; it implys rotted bodies but they might not have been, although the passage didn't specify. It seems odd that not one person would write about that.

While this was a popular theory in the eighteenth century by European deists, today however, it has been completely given up by modern scholarship.

New Testament scholar N.T. Wright sums it up like this, "if you're a first-century Jew, and your favorite Messiah got himself crucified, then you've basically got two choices: Either you go home or else you get yourself a new Messiah. But the idea of stealing Jesus' corpse and saying that God had raised him from the dead is hardly one that would have entered the minds of the disciples."

The only place you really read about this theory anymore is in the popular, sensationalist press or Internet fantasies.

Either that or he was god in human form. Which seems more likely? Actually, there is a third interpretation: it never happened at all. Why did no one of the era write about it?
