    Depends…am I the one with osteoporosis or are the old women?

  • Ernest S says:

    Ha! Likely the old women would die before you!

    Granting the benefit of the doubt, I assume your question has a point other than revealing immaturity.

    Your question is REPREHENSIBLE. To mock death and the suffering, whether it be by crucifixion or by stoning is a mockery of the suffering of others and as such is unconscionable.

    The death of Jesus on the cross. After he had been betrayed by Judas Iscariot and arrested, Jesus was condemned by his fellow Jews as a false Messiah and turned over to the Roman governor Pontius Pilate to be crucified. Pilate found no reason to condemn Jesus; he tried to convince the people that it was absurd to regard Jesus as “King of the Jews” and offered to release him. But when the people insisted that Jesus be put to death, Pilate washed his hands to indicate that Jesus’ fate was no longer his responsibility and turned Jesus over to be crucified. Roman soldiers then placed a crown of thorns on the head of Jesus and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews.” He was made to carry a wooden cross up the hill of Calvary near Jerusalem, where he was nailed to the cross and was placed between two thieves, who were also crucified. Shortly before his death, he said, “ Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” After his death, the followers of Jesus placed his body in a tomb.

    # Jesus had told his disciples that he would sacrifice his life so that believers’ sins might be forgiven. Christians believe that his death on the cross and his Resurrection three days later make salvation possible.
    # Having a “cross to bear” means any painful responsibility that is forced upon one.
    # To “wash one’s hands of it” means to refuse to take responsibility for an action or event.

    I strongly urge you to “wash your hands” of this mockery and develop some measure of respect for those who have suffered.
