The Cross Still Foolishness to Some...

Christopher Hitchens is obviuosly a brilliant, articulate man. But when it comes to the cross of Jesus, he falls into the wisdom of this world camp. In a recent World magazine interview, he said that the crucifixiion of Jesus Christ "is scapegoating that absolves one of all responsibility in return for the acceptance of the incredible and the undesirable. And then with the other shoe, the other hand, says if you don't believe it, then we have a real program of torture that will go on forever. It's disgusting. It was completely invented by very underdeveloped human beings...These are peasants; the sort of people we are up against now, with wild looks in their eyes and living in caves."
