A Dead God Does No Good

 Were Crucifixion the means of Atonement,

there would be no need for Resurrection.

A Dead God does no good.

A metaphor used to explain Jesus

to cultures and peoples accustomed to temple sacrifice

keeps getting twisted into the idea

that if we just kill the right people,

justice will be served

and society will be healed.

There is no Redemption in violence.
