I was just watching a video on youtube which included scenes of the crucifiction (misspelling intended). you know, the usual torture porn so many Xians like to wallow in. And a thought struck me: If God really wnated his message to get across, and convince people to believe in him ... why didn't he just leave him hanging there?
Think about it; the same guy hanging on a bit of wood for 2000 years, there for everybody to see, rather than just the relatively few people who were there at the time. If you saw him as an infant, you could go back 90 years later and see the same guy in the same condition on the same lump of wood ... what's not to believe? A living testimony to the fact that, if you don't live by God's rules, he will fuck you up bigtime and forever.
Instead, we have the mismatching stories of four men who happened to have been told the tale many years after the supposed fact and been capable of writing it down. The allegedly all-knowing, all-loving and all-powerful deity ... doesn't know how to convince people.
