POSTER BOY FOR DEATH..

the romans commit sixteen hours of dramatic violence against the body of christ before he dies ... tone the drama down by spreading it over say sixteen months ... throw in a bunch of drugs to kill the most obvious pain ... then kill the patient using any one of the variety we call natural causes ... and you get the same result down to the blood the cuts and the bruises ... does this diminish the price jesus paid ... compare it to more brutal deaths happening even now and all the time ... does that put him in the bunch with us all ... make him just like us ... the poster boy for death ... attractive full of life indeed life's cause ... young ... peak young ... brilliant compassionate ... what a future ... and all of it suddenly lost ... tragic hero of the archetype of the type ... soldier fireman policeman statesman martyr and an old construction worker fighting for his last breath on a cot for the poor ... it makes him all these ... everyone ... thank god
