padraic said:"Apparently Jesus' three hours was not all that unusual.-----that's still a staggering length of time to be in that much agony."
I was going to comment on that padraic as well. Jesus was spared the agony of days baking in the hot sun by dying in just three hours. As I stated before; Christians love to point out how much he suffered on the cross when there have been countless people that make his sufferings pale in comparison.

I agree with you Synakaon, many others throughout history have suffered tons more than Christ and his paltry three hours of agony that has been shared by many others who have lasted even days baking in the hot sun. The victims of the church itself have suffered more than Christ such as those that died in the various inquisitions, witch hunts, and crusades, hell even some of the so called church martyrs have suffered more painful and horrible deaths than their savior. And considering that there is no evidence of Christ crucifixion outside the bible, and even those tales are self contradictory, that leads me to believe that it was a work of fiction.
