Default The Passion: Why the people quit Jesus?

:boohoo: Think about it from the little people's perspective: "If Jesus is no God, then he's a faker and not worth it of any sacrifice; if, on the other hand, he is God, then he would go to Heaven for another 2000 years and leave us stuck at the mercy of Rome. We better stick with Rome."

And that how the practice of always sticking with the powerful was passed to future generations, chief among them the Germans under Hitler and some other cases out there...

-Because they are quitters
-Because Jesus was no God
-Because Jesus was God
-Because Jesus didn't need any help
-Because they thought they would be betrayed
-Because he didn't lay out a plan for revolution

i don't think there IS a question. i think this is a shameless plug for what this guy obviously thinks is an utterly masterful work he came up with. the page from his link is nothing more then an elongated retelling of what we've all heard before anyways

It's designed to make you *think*, but I can only do so much.

But I think someone had a clue of it being a poll...

(If you still wan't to see the movie and pay whatever and come out without any answers, go ahead and do it)

Because the addiction started to cause serious problems, like war outbreaks and homicidal rages, most notably the spanish inquisition. The point came when the people recognised they had to go cold turkey, or else their lives would go down the drain right into the sewer.

Just like any other mind-altering activity, really. If you don't apply moderation, results may become desastrous.
