I confess to finding way too much pleasure in searching Twitter for mentions of the word JESUS and heckling the tweeters. So far, the Christians I've encountered via this exercise seem identical to the sort of Jews that irritate me the most. They haven't thought about their articles of faith, that make stupid claims on its behalf, and they find it impossible to respond to simple questions.
For example:
Happy Good Friday! Thankful that God chose His son Jesus to die on Calvary so many years ago to save me and you! His love is indescribable!
When I respond with simple questions (eg: (1) In what sense were we "saved?"; or (2) don't we still suffer and die?; or (3) Where is the evidence of this love?) I get ignored or insulted. My favorite:
@DovBear clearly you have never even picked up a Bible. You probably believe in gay rights too don't you?
In the interest of making it clear that I have, indeed, picked up a bible, I give you the following collection of Good Friday-themed posts.
