This is a more interesting poll than all of the others I've seen so far. If it was proven that jesus was executed the way he did, and if no one but jesus has come back to life, after all of those days after being executed in that manner, then I'd say it would make some difference. As for, how I'd live my life, I'd say it would make practically no difference. If it was also proven that he was savior somehow, I'd say, it would still make no difference how I would live my life. The way the stupid religion is set up, you have to accept jesus as savior and be saved. You get to be forgiven for everything, if you simply repent. That means that I won't be changing my life one bit, but I'm already screwed, because I blasphemed against the holy spirit, so, no change at all. Blaspheme against jesus = forgiveness. Blaspheme against holy spirit = fucked. But, isn't this based on jesus being god and the holy spirit at the same time? But, if you make this rule about the holy spirit, doesn't that affect jesus and god too, because they are a 3 in 1 being? If you blaspheme against jesus, you are also blaspheming against the holy spirit, so based on this religion where anyone can be saved, actually no one that has said anything bad about any one in the trinity, can be saved. Very confusing and assholian for an omnibenelovent, omnipotent being..
