Jesus' Crucifixion a parable

[brewer]

All I hear is Mick, you can't always get what you want.

Sniveling little bitch.

[LastPoet]

I keep saying they didn't nailed him right.
Oh the irony of a carpenter being nailed part of furniture somewhat makes more sense than the whole story.

[Chad32]

Well if every other major even that may or may not make god look bad is just a parable, we might as well say the rest of it is too.

[Fireball]

I spell that word as "crucifiction"

[Anomalocaris]

It is a parable on not being religiously gullible.

Jesus' life, albeit most of it was conveniently omitted from the narrative, was relatively blessed.

So some people didn't like him.  Whomsoever has never been disliked by anyone please cast the first stone.

When this man who has been thus blessed throughout his life reaches a pinnacle where he realizes he will die, he shouts out, "Why hast thou forsaken me?"

He shouted that not as a curse against anyone, but instead it was a curse against his own delusions, because wouldn't it have made more sense for a divine intervention to take place to reinforce his delusions when he was most in need of help than when he was blessedly walking around simply preaching his delusions?

The lesson is that those who hold high standards of divinity to be there when they are at their lowest often find a lack of support while continuously supporting that divinity when they are at their best.  This is not to state that they do not also succumb to cognitive dissonance in continuing support of that divinity when "prayers" aren't answered, because the religious mind will psychologically fool itself into accepting god's existence through his "mysterious plan".

Any sympathetic or empathetic person can understand that a god who allows for suffering when it is within his capability to create a world without it is not a god worth acknowledging.

A parable is a story designed and disseminated to teach, not one designed and disseminated to deceive and exploit. Crucifixion of jesus probably was conceived, most certainly disseminated, for the latter purpose.

What is suffering?

Reading your drivel.

Suffering is knowing the superficial observer might mistake Drich for being human.

That was a good funny picture of how... lacking in basic knowledge about Christ you are. And subsequently how much those who kudoed you also lack in basic Christian/Jesus comprehension. 

let look at your statement again.

It is a parable on not being religiously gullible.

who is telling it?

Jesus' life, albeit most of it was conveniently omitted from the narrative, was relatively blessed.

Jesus Grew up as a labor's son, but more importantly during the time the bible focuses on him he is homeless. he wanders the country side for 3 years, no certain place to sleep not even a rock to use as a pillow every night. let alone steady meals.

So.. how many Homeless people who truly have nothing, do you call 'blessed?' then why the double standard here? oh, because either you don't know what you are talking about or... you are make a point fit the facts despite whether it fits truthfully or not.

So some people didn't like him.

When he was crucified The people voted to have a murder set free over him. how can a person be liked and when it came to a vote a known and convicted murder was set free rather than christ? And again to what crime? The WHOLE Religious hierarchy held a meeting breaking their own laws about such meeting to try and figure out some crime he was guilty of... this is not one or two people trying to frame a guy. Imagine the pope and every member of the vatican in power coming together to conspire to have the state murder a man who is truly innocent of everything (which is why it takes so many to come up with something) And ultimately the court finds him innocent! But because the whole ruling hierarchy is threatening a civil war the state has this innocent man beaten and crucified... That is beyond hate

Whomsoever has never been disliked by anyone please cast the first stone.

When this man who has been thus blessed throughout his life reaches a pinnacle where he realizes he will die, he shouts out, "Why hast thou forsaken me?"

what a truly uninformed/moronic thing to say.
lets say you were about to come into a ton of money, but because I know you, I claim you have plans to over through the government, and I just happen to work for a government agency, and I am a 'higher level employee.. then not only do I have evidence let's say this and all my buddies at the other agencies in the government also have evidence that makes you a terrorist... but you go before  judge and he see through the BS, but we say on the back side if you do not convict and execute you, we me and the other government agencies will cause a civil war. So not only do you get sent to the gas chamber, you first get beaten like skin off beaten both sides/nothing spared. then while you are waiting for the gas are you saying you would never ask what id I do to deserve this?

At no point is fair play going to come into your mind? are you not going to ask for justice? not even a lawyer?

Wow what a double standard you have.

He shouted that not as a curse against anyone, but instead it was a curse against his own delusions, because wouldn't it have made more sense for a divine intervention to take place to reinforce his delusions when he was most in need of help than when he was blessedly walking around simply preaching his delusions?

here is where the ignorance is almost heart breaking. For all that was done, you do not even understand why, YET! you mock it.

Christ Died willing for your sins moron...

He had a chance given to Him by Satan to not go to the cross.

Before all of this happened Christ spent 40 days fasting in the desert. this weakened him physically and made him question things he would not normally. It was at this point Satan came to him offering different things inorder to get Jesus to sin thus nullifying his ablity to take the sin of the world as a sin less sacerfice.

The last thing was when satan took Jesus very high up and showed him the kingdoms of the world and he said that he satan would have all of man fall before Jesus and worship him as God if Jesus would only bow to Satan.. This trial would have taken Jesus off the cross. That the world would have been won over without Jesus having to die.

Jesus denied Him. why? because He knew his purpose was to die on the cross to full fill God's plan for salvation.

The lesson is that those who hold high standards of divinity to be there when they are at their lowest often find a lack of support while continuously supporting that divinity when they are at their best.  This is not to state that they do not also succumb to cognitive dissonance in continuing support of that divinity when "prayers" aren't answered, because the religious mind will psychologically fool itself into accepting god's existence through his "mysterious plan".

Prayers are always answered. It is Petitions rarely get a positive answer.

Any sympathetic or empathetic person can understand that a god who allows for suffering when it is within his capability to create a world without it is not a god worth acknowledging.

What a spoiled and oblivious thing to say. how stupid are you do not understand that 'suffering is subjective?' that suffering come from the idea that one can and always should seek the path of less pain or resistance. if this were 1/2 true we'd all be 500lbs and have burned every yoga instructor as a witch and gym owner as a warlock. Pain is not evil. Pain protects and fosters growth. to take pain out of life is to take living out of life. Nothing would be worth having or doing if their were no risk or reward pain is both. Pain in neutral it has not ill will it can be good and it can be unpleasant, but what it does is separates us and makes us individuals. or rather our threshold for pain judges us and puts us in place.

What lazy minded people. always looking for the path of least resistance! how many of you ever had to embrace the suffering and turn into it? how many of you came out better people having had to suffer though a given experience? no suffering no pain, no personal growth, everyone stays level 1 zombies. No individuality

yeah sounds like God is a real monster for light a fire under your lazy asses and making you feel it in such a way as to make you move your ass every now and again.
