- That's pretty accurate. Since christianity asserts that by his own choice
- Jesus came to an earth that he created, knowing full well in advance what
- would happen, he must be held accountable for the various pograms and
- other cruelties and tortures mounted throughout history against
- the ("christ-killer") Jews. After all, they were merely the instrument
- of his plan. Of course I assume that you Suzanne, would stand by as
- Jesus was crucified even if it was within your power to thwart the execution
- (how else could you be saved?). On the otherhand, as an atheist, and a pro-
- choice advocate, I'd find myself compelled to do the un-christian thing (i.e.
- intervene).
