I know that there’s not been a lot of activity here, but having had a few people comment on my choice to start reading fundamentalist diatribe, I thought that I just had to share this pearler:
Rob Bell of the emerging church says that he has the answer to stop the fighting, “the teachings of Jesus, who pioneered a brilliant way of loving nonviolence…” However was preaching this “loving nonviolence” really why Jesus was brutally tortured and crucified?

Is it just me, or is the answer to the rhetorical question posed here a whole-hearted “yes”? Maybe that’s not all he was crucified for, but I did have to laugh at this one.
