I'm reading the Christ Commission by Og Mandino, interesting piece of fiction.
Anyone read it?
Starts out some author being interviewed by Johnny Carson, whoring out for his new book. Johnny asks him, ever had a book you were stuck on?
The author says 'Yeah, I had started on this book, what if I were to be able to go back in time sometime after the crucifiction and see what Christianity was really like, interview all the players and find out what really happenned....like the Warren Commission...a Christ Commission' (above totally paraphrased and probably quite wrong)
Anywho interesting premise and an interesting read....however the following has now come up twice....something it postulates was Cailiphs and Pilates notion that if he continued teaching and continued to develop his followers who thought him the messiah, eg gonna be the new king and overthrow the establishment...that Rome was gonna be pissed and have to come over and kill all the jews....'so better that one die to save the rest'
