After the Crucifixion After the Crucifixion March 30, 2024 Shock and Mourning What a disaster it must have been for the people that just wanted to set people free from the deceived, the barbarism and small mindedness of the faithless who’s lives and actions are ruled mostly by emptiness, cowardliness and/the promotion of their own lack of self-esteem. What were the followers of Jesus and even just those that preferred the ways of Jesus thinking? Knowing that faithlessness and dishonesty is destruction and a path backward to barbarism. As they were spinning around with questions like “Why in the world would the politicians want to kill Jesus and more importantly why in the world would a priest want to kill Jesus?” Was the decision unanimous among the clergy or was it just one narcissistic psychopath that wanted to be rid of Jesus? Then what was he or they afraid of? Change? Justice, freedom, liberty, or maybe losing money derived by fearmongering and promoting injustice? And let’s not forget that many of them did know about the many iterations of a savior! What does that matter, the quest is still the same. And has our 2,000 year, “who’s years?”, deadline past? One result that the mass media is never allowed to talk about, but you can see even Billy Graham allude to in film of his sermons. Is the split between the huge corporate churches and the hundreds of millions of people worldwide that meet regularly in small churches or the privacy of one of their own homes. Which reminds me, because of my own travels around our wonderful nation, what to me is a couple of amazing results! The percentage of people in the small churches that can recite the entire bible dwarfs the number of people from the large corporate churches that can do the same! And, as a person whose life purpose is objective> behavioral science I sometimes tried to get information either by simulation or taking real action. Such as, once I picked a city, that was close to a huge city, from which rich people would go to vacation since the early 1900’s. There were seven large churches, and I went to each of them and asked someone in authority[sic], “Is there someone here I can talk with about God?” All seven handed me a pledge envelope in which I was to insert or pledge money then would walk away. Could that be another result of the Crucifixion of Jesus? Yet another expected result from Jesus when he said: “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” God Bless, Be Peace and Be Well Michael
