Piglet, you may not know it but I minored in history of religion so trust me, I know how illogical they are...all of them...I mean, really, God has so little to do that It will actually tell a father to kill his own son just so It can stop him? For what? A laugh? And God really cares if we cut pieces of male genitalia??? I don't think so. The only logical explanation for any religion is that God, being omnipotent and omniscient, is also incredibly bored and invented all the faiths of the world just to see how much It could mess with us (Yeah, I do think the PC form of God would be Neuter). I was simply arguing that, seeing Papa Palpatine(the man looks like Palpatine) decided to write a book explaining certain things in the Bible, he should have gone the whole hog and cleared up all of it. For instance, how did Adam, when naming all the animals, come up with Xenopus?
Why does God only talk to people when they are walking around, half-delirous from thirst, in a desert? Why did God create taxes? You know, I think we are owed certain explanations. Also, it is not news that the Jewish people did not kill Jesus, the Romans did. The Jewish people chose Barabbas over Jesus. Well, Israel was occupied. Barabbas was a Zionist freedom fighter who killed two Romans, Jesus sprouted parables and handed out fish and helped people get drunk at weddings...Seems pretty clear to me why they chose Barabbas to be released.
