Thoughts on Christianity


As Easter approaches and the last days of Christ are revisited in churches
across the country prior to his crucifiction, let us not forget just *who*
crucified him. It was not the sinners, the criminals, the sick or any of
the common populace. It was the religious 'authorities' of his time,
fearing for their own loss of influence who condemned him to death.

So blind and desperate was their grab for power that in the name of God they
crucified his Son.

It's a good thing to remember when so many claim they speak in *God's* name,
that motives must be questioned and deeds examined. If, couched within
their demands, a quest for power can be seen, then you are not in the
presence of a 'Godly' person, but more likely Jesus' executioners.
