That is just about the most idiotic, ignorant and misguided thing I've ever read on here and I've read some doozies.

Well, I guess the religion "narrow-minded Biblist" under your user name tells me why you think that or I would ask. Perhaps my post was phrased as an opinion but there is a great documentary about the subject on National Geographic but its my guess you think they are idiots too.

I was agreeing with you and what I meant was a lot of research has gone into the topic and people believe what they want to believe so, enough just leave it alone, all the science and proof in the world can't change something people don't want changed.

I don't know why everyone wants to blame the Jews for everything they are some of the most rational people I have ever met. Anyway if you're a devout Christian, Jesus would tell you not to blame but to forgive. If Jesus hadden't died on the cross, you'd have no route to salvation as you believe. So in a way you should be thanking those who executed him, not blaming them.

The Bible can and must be taken literally even today, most of the laws and rules are there to help us.

Yikes!

Who's "blaming the Jews???" I haven't read anything here recently about anyone "blaming the Jews." Not everyone believes, BTW, that the crucifixion effected salvation.

Number one: if you read all the posts you would see who said the Jews killed Jesus. Just because a judge condemns someone to death does not mean he carries out the execution. Who is guilty of murder the one who says kill or the one who kills?

Number two: Yes, I'm pretty sure I said that the crucifixion resulted salvation for Christians did I not?

But not everyone believes that. It's not an absolute.
