Easter Day
Got tired of the resurrection today. Absurd load of rubbish.
Could not agree with Osho more in this short extract:”In fact Jesus never died on the cross. It takes at least forty-eight hours for a person to die on the cross; and there have been known cases where people have existed almost six days on the cross without dying. Because Jesus was taken down from the cross after only six hours, there is no possibility of his dying on the cross. It was a conspiracy between a rich sympathizer of Jesus and Pontius Pilate to crucify Jesus as late as possible on Friday — because on Saturday, Jews stop everything; their Sabbath does not allow any act. By the evening of Friday everything stops.
”The arrangement was that Jesus would be crucified late in the afternoon, so before sunset he would be brought down. He might have been unconscious because so much blood had flowed out of the body, but he was not dead. Then he would be kept in a cave, and before the Sabbath ended and the Jews hung him again, his body would be stolen by his followers. The tomb was found empty, and Jesus was removed from Judea as quickly as possible. As he again became healthy and healed, he moved to India and he lived a long life — one hundred and twelve years — in Kashmir…
The only explanation I can think of goes like this : the Olde Boy Jesus was enlightened, and had a powerful effect on people as Osho did. The apostles wished to spread his teachings. But most people in Europe at the time were uncivilised Iron age tribes. So the Apostles conncoted stories such as the Resurrection that would appeal to them.
There are some who say that Jesus was a circumcellion. They basically provoked other people to kill them. We saw a lot of that in early Xtianity, that to follow Jesus’ example, martyrdom was the ultimate Xtian value. The resurrection was part of the same theme.
