Friday crucifixion?
Sorry, I'm busy; Valentine's dinner out with my Dutchess. Besides, hanging people off trees isn't my thing.
It does seem a pretty dumb way of proving you're the son of god if all there is to prove it is a handful of allegedly eye-witness accounts that differ in detail, and that we have no proof of being contemperaneous to the alleged events in any case.
There's the rather troubling (for those determining reliability of those accounts) that some events (like the dead coming alive and preaching after Jesus died) have no contemporary mentions.
Why didn't Jesus come now? One TV Special with attendant scientists and reporters (plus tree and nails) would do to convince many sceptics; this time it would be Stephen Hawking saying;
"Truly I say to you, this is the Son of God, based on his ability to reanimate his body three days after brain death when he'd actually started to smell a bit".
Then you'd have David Blaine try and beat the record ("I'm practising dying, at the moment I'm up to half an hour with only minimal bra... what did you ask me?"), and James Randi showing you how it was done with a ring and a party balloon.
The great thing is, you're free to believe what you want. I cannot get past the rather big important issues regarding belief in god, Jesus or the Bible (let alone other religions) to discuss what day someone who may have existed may have died.
Let's assume it's all true. And him dying on a Thursday instead of a Friday makes what difference to his teachings? Pin, angels, dancing?
Have fun thought!
