He's a cut little cowboy alright.
But the attempt to compare the suffering of an old cow with a God that would sacrifice his only son for the benefit of a few selected sinful........doesn't make a whole lotta sense to me.

I say not two. So what is *God's will*? Whatever we think it is...until we don't....and still it's one and the same cause now God wills not....take it further down the train tracks and there is no god there is no will no self to live or die.
Depends which station (of the cross) you decide to stop & rest awhile.
Poor Jesus, was he deluded? Was God cruel? Who am I to ask such questions? And tell me Toomie, why would we want or need anyone to die for our sins, no matter how many times the stars have foretold?
Nice story? A story to hand down through the ages?
I think an old friend related the possibility of a modern day Jesus being put to death in electric chair... (or now on a gurney with IV's) would we wear little electric chairs on chains around our necks?
I wonder about these things, do you Toomie?

The so-called reasons why, and what everyone said, forget it.

Practiced for no other reason than that there is nothing else that is real.
And YES! the sense of wonder: so it is so.
