If you think this is based on fact, you might want to find something else to read No matter what religion I am, I "believe" that the message of Christ is that good people can get a really bad rap from no fault of their own. Even if I don't believe in Christ's crucifixion (and I at least believe in the cruelty of humans enough to think it probably happened)... I believe that people have been tortured, killed, humiliated and everything else truly perfected by humans. We, as a race, don't deserve to have decent.... well... anything... that's of course assuming I DON'T believe in predeposed destiny as did Christ. But hopefully my instincts are wrong and choice is real but I don't see how God can create everything without being within and without. And I don't believe there's any other way... except maybe... something that includes what's inbetween the two, and I don't know what that is. I kind of know what birth, life and death could be... black, gray and white... I guess it's WITHINBETWEEN???
Yahushua wasn't the only one nailed to a cross. That mithra crossed was used for as long time before and after Christ. Early writings and historical records mention the shock of arriving in Jerusalem and seeing hundreds of bodies rotting on crosses on the hillsides The Romans, nailed Yahushua to a tree, did the same to his followers, destroyed the temple, stole the scriptures, took out the name of YAH 7000 times, took out the name of Yahushua 1000 times, fed believers to lions, burned them at the stake, drew and quartered them, boiled them in oil, THEN THEY MADE A BIBLE AND SAID THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS WITH THEM. UH...
