Sorry .. But Jesus is disqualified in raising an emotion here.
This is due to God = Jesus. An all powerful God gets harmed??
This is like kicking superman in the balls.. It doesn't do anything.
I'm sure Jesus = God can handle a Mel Gibson style beating while
answering prayers and doing miracles on the other side of the globe
without blinking.

There's no sacrifice.. It's just God putting on a gore show.

Ha! A positive spin on illogic.
It's a mystery when 1 = 3.
Square circles are a mystery too!
A bowl of sleep is a mystery!
Love on toast is a mystery!
The illogic of God = Son = Father = Holy spirit is not a mystery. It's
poo poo.

Sure..
Do Larkin's intelligent scientists and intelligent engineers and
intelligent mathematicians have an intelligent reason for why they
believe the story of Jonah (that biblical guy that lived for days in a
fish) or Noah or God or Jesus?
