Jesus loves you...and wants to be your friend on Facebook

[thatcrazycajun]

Just in time for Good Friday in four days' time, and hot on the heels of the hilarious Facebook Haggadah, comes this PDF-based description of what happened when the Son of God saw how much fun Moses and the Chosen People were having: The Facebook Passion.

(My personal favorite part is this post from Pontius Pilate to Roman Soldier's Wall: "Just to be sure, could you run him through with a spear or something? Last thing we need is him suddenly coming back from the dead!" The only improvement I can think of would have been to add one last post at the very end: "Vandal Savage has sent Adolf Hitler a gift: The Spear of Longinus.")

Who is this Bart Ehrman dude?

Guy who was once a fundamentalist, had a crisis of faith when he did some serious Bible study, and now has become known for questioning the literal truth of the Bible, from an agnostic perspective. I've read some of his stuff - it's quite interesting, actually, thoughtful and well-reasoned and not half so knee-jerk rejectionist as this would appear.
But of course, this Facebook story is acting on the assumptiom that the Passion as the Bible presents it is literal truth, so they have to reject Ehrman's POV. And since I do not believe this, I am under no such limitation.

The bit about "High Priests and Pharisees are now friends," made me splutter a bit, though. Rather unlikely, that.

I sent the Facebook Haggadah on to family and some friends. It's funny!
