Belle___: All that work responding to your post only to find out when I hit sent that you deleted it!! lol Pulp: 2000 years ago, our creator came down to earth and we killed him. For this reason, Christ on the cross is, partly, a symbol of our own hatred, cruelty, violence, and stupidity mirrored back to us. But that's not the heart of the story. The heart of the story is that our creator stands shoulder to shoulder with us. Our lord was willing to experience the fullest depths of human suffering and God forsakenness to show us that no matter how far away we run away from him, his arms are open. The further we run away from the father, the closer we run into the arms of the son. And that's the heart of the new testament: that there is no sin so terrible that we finally escape God's mercy. When the Roman soldiers put a thorned crown on our lord's head, mocking him, he could have at any point sent a legion of his angels to make them vanish. Instead, he wore the burden of that absurd mockery, patiently. Bruised, beaten, whipped, bleeding. Moral to the story? Take up your cross. Develop a relationship with your creator. Gift him a fraction of the love that he displays for us. That's the definition of religion: a habit of virtue that inclines the will to do unto God what he's due. Happy Easter.
