God decreed/ordained The Cross, the most evil (yet the most good) thing that has ever or will ever be done, child rape should look like nothing in comparison. They should be objecting to The Cross before they object to child rape, but that is what man-centered theology does, it totally skews things.

I'm not trying to minimize the agony of crucifixion but Jesus wasn't the only person to have suffered this fate. As a matter of fact, Jesus wasn't the only innocent person to be executed in the place of others. How many people willingly died on a cross to protect friends, family, fellow Jews, fellow slaves and others they cared about? And these people weren't just dying for the weekend; they stayed dead. Whose sacrifice was greater, the man who knows his magical dad in the sky will bring him back to life in a couple of days or the man who knows nothing but the agonizing pain of dying alone with no certainty of anything beyond this life? In my opinion, the extreme importance placed on the death of Jesus is what is really skewed.
@Bay of Fundie: A lot of Christians seem to forget that the salvific element was originally seen as not the Crucifixion, but the Resurrection. Not so much a sacrifice, as evidence of triumph over death.
We'd have to believe your myth to think that. Furthermore, according to your own book he was given multiple opportunities to get off scott free. Raped children don't get multiple opportunities to not get raped. That you'd even try to compare a grown man's stubbornly chosen path to a scared child's unchosen victimization makes you a shit person and I'm pretty sure that, if he had the stance you believe he had regarding kids, he would tell you the same.
Tl;dr: You're as stupid as you are monsterous and I hope you trip & fall sideways while traversing the foot path of a very tall bridge. Preferably one spanning dry ground.
The Cross, the most evil (yet the most good)
What about the Double Cross?
the most evil (yet the most good)
A miracle! 2+2=4 and 2+2=5.
What's so evil about intersections ?
The Scramble - chaos in action.
Yes, Jesus died for our sins in a very gutrenching way.
However hurting a child is still a heinous crime and has nothing to do with your spirituality. This is firmly a physical earthly matter and needs to be addressed seriously.
"They should be objecting to The Cross before they object to child rape,..."
This shit on a "Puritan" Board?! What the hell kind of 'puritans' are these?
There were a lot of torture executions; the cross was not necessarily the worst. Impalement, the wheel, scaphism, the saw, the donkey, boiling in oil, execution by rat, disembowelment, tearing on the rack, etc.
Whatever your beliefs, don't minimize something that is a serious crime. Maybe an innocent person was executed horribly 2000 years ago. . .but plenty of innocent children have been sexually abused just this week.
And some of them belong to your churches.
@ Bay of Fundie
Jesus wasn't innocent nor was he falsely accused. Jesus ran around claiming that he was the son of God, which got him busted on a blasphemy rap and executed.
He wanted us to revere him for the sacrifice, he should`ve stayed dead for it to matter. Odin the Allfather did not grow his eye back after he gave it for his children to gain knowledge. You don`t get to shut down for a weekend and then demand utmost obedience and admiration, fuck your shit.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
