Question Questions

How long is eternity, and who really wants to go on that long?


If jesus had been born in our lifetime, and was put to death, in 2000 years would people be wearing little electric chairs, or gas chambers aroung their necks, and putting them on buildings?

Sadly enough, I would say yes. When something is believed so fervently (such as the Christ myth) then I doubt it's adherents would quibble over symbolism.

If he had been killed by lethal injection, they'd all be wearing syringes around their necks. Do you suppose there would be so much opposition to clean needle programs then?
