Re: God gets sued (no content)
Wow, I'm ignorant. I thought Pilate was the one who ordered the crucifixion.
Either way, no one had anything against God. They just didn't believe Jesus was the Son of God and even thought he was blaspheming God. So I ask you again... If someone were walking around claiming to be the son of god and achieved noteriety due to unexplainable tricks, would you follow him? Would you follow him if you hadn't seen these tricks for yourself, but only heard of them? What would it take to convince you that someone on earth is god?

Re: God gets sued (no content)
from MidGe:
Been waiting for more than 2000 years and he still hasn't made it back! Highly unlikely he will now, imo! He obviously lost the appeal or, at best, the jury is still undecided! Did you ever think that the world is a big place to save and it even takes time for God to get down on man's level to save everyone...He is still trying to round up his sheep...There are still alot of people in Asia that haven't heard of Jesus and there are remote parts of the world not easily accessible...tribal areas around New Guinea for example that are living under taboo religions while they live like cavemen that are only now starting to hear the Gospel..(there are still some really bad taboos among them and some of the tribes are cannibalistic)...Some parts of these islands are so isolated by mountains the people are still in the Stone Age, yet missionaries are trying to get in to them too...2000 years may be a lot to a person but its probably just the blink of an eye to God...

Re: God gets sued (no content)
Lestat asks: Do you really think Jesus was executed over God? Or was He executed for His teachings, which were considered blasphemous by many. I'm not saying He should've been executed and certainly not in the manner He was, but put yourself in their shoes...
If you read the bible and look at the history of the times I think you will see Jesus was caught between 2 groups (the Romans represented by Pilate and the Jews represented by Herod/the Sanhedrin) both with their own political agenda...He was perceived as representing a threat to both groups so they ignored his message and crucified him...This is one of the main themes of Christianity...the spiritual being trampled by the secular...Its also where the Jews and Chrisitans divide...Christians say he is the Messiah and that the Jews missed him looking for a Messiah with earthly rewards...

They were just doing what the angry Jewish mob wanted them to do. I wonder why the story is written in this way?

Re: God gets sued (no content)
Well, afaik the romans did actually enjoy their scene-shows when passing out verdicts and, and mobs could very well have the 'say' in a judgement based on their screaming etc.
Courts were often pop culture at its finest. Pesky romans - always getting there before we did.
