Oh, and just so no one can accuse me of not ribbing both sides:
*Checks drinking game list. 78: Whenever someone mentions brings up interpreting the Bible, take a shot. So takes a shot.*
the Romans killed Jesus..who was a Jew and only a Jew. So thinking they got rid of another threat to their power, the Romans instead made Jesus, the Jew, more powerful in death.
So instead of embracing Judaism..the religion of Jesus, the Romans created a religion in his name that they could control.
To sweeten the control pie, they added their version of events in book form and even added "interpreters" to keep the sheep further in line. Tricky little killing machine boogers those Romans.
OK..so how many shots is that good for?
Drink!
