Title: Pontius Pilate just got served
Post by: Mefustae on September 01, 2007, 10:30:08 pm
It would seem that the Kenyan Court are deciding on the legality of Jesus' case:

Quote from: Reuters Article
A case on behalf of Jesus Christ has reached Kenya's High Court after two millennia.

A group called Friends of Jesus is seeking to clear the name of Jesus Christ. They say his human rights were violated when he was convicted and crucified without a fair trial. They also want a ruling on whether Jesus' sentencing was legal, arguing that the correct penalty for blasphemy at the time was stoning, not crucifixion.

And I thought the American judicial system was ****ed up. Sheesh! :rolleyes:

Besides, it's going to be hard to claim impartiality when you have to swear on the Bible before you give evidence....

LOL Yup, problem is, some people will take it seriously and give it undue attention, which is, I think, what is being hoped for ;)
