Just some guy 2000 years ago who suggested that people could be nice to each other once in a while. Don't worry, they killed him for it.

And that is the story of Easter!


or more likely some random pagan festival.

No, they killed him because they saw him as a blasphemer because of what he would say and do. They believed his miracles were just devil magic and the fact that he claimed to be the Messiah meant he had to die for it. The people had their chance to save him, but they didn’t take it. Even Pilate did not want to kill him at first, but he gave in to pressure from the Sanhedrin (Jewish high priests in Jerusalem) and a large bunch of Jewish people who probably just agreed with everything they said. But then again, he knew he was going to die long before the Passion. He knew his mission in life, and some of the last words he said on the cross was “It is accomplished.”

Horrible writing. Who comes up with crap like that.

Actually, weren't his last words something more like "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit?"

Here's a wiki article on the matter.

[RetroVortex]

I thought his last words were "damn I really should have set Corrie to record before we left. Now I'm going to have to come back on Sunday for the omnibus and wait for the last episode to come up"

[ted12]

I'm just in it for the Dr. Who special, honestly.

Umm. Isn't that irrelevant for a fictional character?
If that thing would have been written today it would include some product placement like "I really wish I'd have a Pepsi and a Marsbar right now.

No its still important like saying the Tenth Doctors last words where I don't want to leave insted of I don't want to go.

[FrankT]

Oh, I've never had winter downs like this before. I mean... I can't really put my finger on how it's gotten so bad! Perhaps it's because the MLaaTR well has been dried up, or maybe it's college stuff, or maybe I need some more Sam & Max in my diet...

Accurate records are required regardless of realism. You should see me arguing with my brother over exact wordings of TV shows we saw ten years ago. It gets pretty brutal. Then we go watch the thing and see who won. Unfortunately, that's not really possible here.

(Also, I'd say that his last words were probably more like "Ahhhhggghhhh...")

Would be somewhat out of character, though.

Even believing it to be a fictional account, one should consider it as a myth telling an underlying moral, so what he says does matter especially when it's become one of the world's most famous literature. I unno.

I know you're talking in jest, but still.

It's hard to stay in character when someone's shoving a spear in your heart.

[Darth Marsden]

I thought the spear pierced the side of Christ (and became the Spear of Destiny), and then the blood that came from the wound was collected inside a Chalice (aka the Holy Grail).

You can reach your heart through the side. I always thought it was kinda of an "up through the ribcage" kind of move.

Sorry. I am not.
You clearly don't know what my name means.
