I say, why wait til menopause to start the prayer for kids? infertility is a bitch and menopause only complicates it.

That was rather the point. She was a ho, but she loved Jesus, and that was enough. Incidentally, she was also a lazy ho, spending one dinner party adoring Jesus and washing his feet with her hair while her sisters did all the work. When one of them called her on it (hey, you lazy ho, quit sitting at that dude's feet and help with some of this fucking clean up why don't you) jesus said she had the right of it.

Sounds like she would have done well on For Love or Money. Whyd didnt Rob invoke Jesus when he apologized? Apparently that kind of thing is a-ok.

Jesus was put to death largely for political reasons, but he did indeed have a clue, and could have saved himself at any time and didn't because he needed to die for our sins. This is why the whole "father why has thou forsaken me" thng is such a big deal - it indicated regret that he was suffering and dying, and much ink has been spilled over the centuries explaining that one (usually: he was 100% God and 100% human all at once, and this was just evidence of his humanity & ability to suffer, making his sacrifice and god-i-ness all the more miraculous).

OK, so Jesus was going to die for political reasons and since he knew he had to die for all the future babies being born anyway, he figued that was as good of a time as any? Personally, I would havfe waited for a heart attack or something less painful. Sounds kind of masochistic. Maybe he just wanted to make it as dramatic as possible.
