Thagrastay,
I don't see anyone in this thread mocking you.
If anything I see something mocking the beliefs of others in your very first post:

The two are mutually exclusive and cannot be combined. You are comparing Apples to Oranges.

In otherwords, you came into this post not saying, "I believe you they are mutually exclusive," you came in
proclaiming that they are mutually exclusive, and that we couldn't use other ways of thinking to look at Jesus.
If that isn't judgemental and possibly mocking, I don't know what is.
Then you made this statement:

This thread was, I thought, about the reason for the crucifixion. That being a Judaeo/Christian event, one could reasonably expect it to be discussed within the perameters of the Bible. That is what I was trying to do. But you guys threw the Bible out the window and wanted to make this a subjective discussion, it would seem, and that leaves me at a loss.

Which again, indicates that the parameters of the Bible are the only way to look at the fact of Jesus life and crucifixion.
Yet you got offended when sexymama asks a very relevant question, relevant due to this:
Quote:
Matthew 5:28
but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

According to the beliefs I have seen you espouse, Jesus clearly said this and what it means is also very clear.
Yet here you are on TFP, where you can lust all day long.
So it seems disingenuous to cry "foul" when someone looks at the Bible from different angles yet from appearences seems to not be walking the talk he talks and then gets called on it.
Finally, there are many Christians on the TFP, as well as many jews, atheists, agnostics, etc.
And to be sure, sometimes Christianity gets knocked pretty hard.
But mocking
anyone's beliefs is NOT tolerated. I also happen to know that sexymama is not that kind of person, and if you spent any time reading her posts, you would know that as well.
So to use your own words, "lighten up".
