The sub-heading from the The Honest Doubter blog reads:
Jesus’ last words on the cross, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” hardly seem like the words of a man who planned it that way. It doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to figure there is something wrong here.
Indeed.

Et tu, God?
And lo, Jesus said unto the soldiers, “Ouch, that hurts, no, no, NOT THE OTHER ONE, AAARRGGHH! You asshole!” - paraphrased, by Sam Kinison
Great post! I’ve read quite a few of your atheist posts, and as an atheist myself, I thought you might enjoy this site (if you haven’t already seen it). Their videos they have are hysterical and offer bullet-proof facts and evidence that religion is delusional. Go check it out, I think you’ll really like it!

Christopher Carlino,
That was awesome. Mostly because it was simple and understandable.
It IS sad that America still holds true to idiocracy, but as total constructive criticism, America isn’t the only place that has such a problem.
overcaffein8d, the “Et too, God?” is great.
As always, there are usually 3-4 different versions of Jesus’ accounts in the bible. There is also one version where he expects his death and one where it isn’t really clear. Try looking up other stories, especially how he became the son of god (3 _completely_ different stories) and how he came back from the dead (also 3 different stories and this is what christianity is based on!). It’s funny how people say _that’s_ what happend with Jesus if in fact, nobody really knows, since the bible authors do not even agree.

^ hilarious!! Funniliy enough the oddness of Jesus’ statement has never occoured to me before now… I remember it being at the back of my mind when I was a christian but it seemed to be just one of those questions you don’t ask. V good post”
That ingrate! What about all those babies that had to die for real so he could pretend to “die” because someone ate a fucking apple? Shut up and bleed, you bastard! You’ll be up and running in three days anyway, just in time to fly around like the fucking superman, impressing the shit out of some illiterate yokels.
Hey now, don’t tell me you wouldn’t be impressed if I died, came back to life three days later and then flew around.
I’d be impressed.
I don’t understand the babies dying part, but seeing as how it’s all fiction I’d say you take it a bit personally.
Kren, what if I told you that nowhere in the bible it says that Jesus came back to life three days later and then flew around. All it says is that the stone was moved and that Jesus body was not there anymore when people arrived. So people somehow say he came back to life. Imagine this happening today. Nobody would believe it. And again, each story tells it differently.
Hi Hermann,
I’d probably say “It doesn’t matter.”
First let me point out though I have read the bible on several different occasions, I’m no expert on it.
Most people WOULDN’T believe a body just disappearing today. (Some would I’m sure) My point is that the bible was written so long ago by so many other people and written (as you say) in different ways, AND has been changed by the church time and time again.
Time doesn’t change physics though, and if there was a Jesus, his body didn’t just vanish. He wasn’t Yoda.
