36. A man who dies of torture ... thorns in crown, beating with whips, crucified. Yeah. He would

wouldn't he. Not.

Coincidence. I am watching a science show about crucifixion. The only way that a man could be crucified and not die immediately or nearly immediately was by an X shaped cross. Imagine a giant X with a hand and arm nailed on each branch. You would last forever. Any death on a tree that was T shape killed you too fast. One position would actually tear off your legs because you would sag so much. The Chi-Rho symbol ... one of the earliest Christian symbols has crossed arms. Science now believes that the X arms were the original cross used to kill him.

Intriguing. Jesus would die if he heard this kind of crap. He told the disciples to not harm anyone when he was arrested. He went to his death without a fight. He would not agree with the shit house rat.
