Life belongs to the mythology and the best we can do is become a pillar in that life wherein we stand united, next to Jesus, for example, or next the many with whom we share this kingship.

A fitting thing for Jesus to have said would have been the Yiddish version of "Holy shit this hurts!"; or nothing at all. Are godmen pansies?
No, but bleeding hearts are.

In John this message was perceived as "It is finished" to show that Jesus was fully in charge of his own destiny.

What? This makes zero sense. Try again.


He's fullly in charge of his own destiny by calling out in pain wondering why he has been forsaken on the cross? This makes no sense. Try again.

Why doesn't he just say "I'm in charge of my own destiny and I'm God in a flesh husk." instead of being so vague that it can be interpreted as that he was in charge of his own destiny or that he's weak. But this is expecting to much. The Bible "prophesies" are just as or more vague than this. "The anti-christ will come....." yeah sure; what year and what's his first middle and last name. What's his age when he does these things? What's his ethnicity? So vague, so usless, such lies.

Only the religious see pain and these include both believers and doubters who evaluate the event. [/quote]

"It is finished" sounds very clear to me and must make me wonder why you keep looking at the lies.

Well lucky for me that I do not have to believe what others tell me to believe.

New Questions:

How did Jesus's death on the cross take away sin? By what mechanism?
Because he was tried and convicted to die. Jewish law was the mechanism.
Quote:

What was the point of The Flood?
To find new life after the destruction of the world?
Quote:

// snip

He gives us a strong sex drive and makes it very pleasing but we're not supposed to do it just for fun.

He gives men thumbs and external genitalia but doesn't want us to masturbate.
Maybe he doesn't want us to screw our brains out?
