This Jesus must die

From Jesus Christ Superstar.

I had a revelation today in church (no, not an epiphany, I'm still atheist), why in the hell do people worship jesus on the cross? Do they really believe Jesus to be a martyr? What Jesus did, according to their beliefs, is defeat death. so how did they decide on a Jesus dying as their symbol? to make themselves feel bad? to be humbled? sounds like a load of poppycock to me. when i think of somebody victorious over something, i don't picture them leaving to go fight the battle, i picture them returning home victorious.

If you think about it, death was the easiest part. when he was gone for three days, he had to fight to the bowels of hell itself in order to finish what he started. his death was meaningless, it was the means to an end.

that's all.

PS: Atlas Shrugged is starting to become clearer.
