I think what people don't realize is how much work it had to have been to crucify Jesus. I mean, sure, Jesus was the one who had to drag the cross, but that lazy son-of-a bitch had Peter to carry it for him for half of the way. I mean, just think of it: yeah, he got nails through his hands, but they had to have done that lying down. Can you imagine how heavy it would have been to pull up that cross with Fatass Christ hanging off it? I'm sure the way that Jesus was fastened onto it would have made the balance all weird and stuff too. And then sticking it in the ground and getting it to stand? I bet five or six poor Romans had to hold that bastard up for like five hours before he stopped squirming and just stayed put. And think of all the nailing they had to do. I'm sure the nails didn't hold up Jesus on the first time. They probably ripped right through his palms and then they'd have to re-do the whole process. And that probably wasn't a pleasant process, either.
Think of it - you became a soldier to feed your family, and all of a sudden you have to start nailing palms and feet to crosses. That's hard and bloody work! And then the soldiers' poor wives had to scrub the Blood of The Lamb off of their official Roman get-up. Totally not cool. Jesus should have been more considerate or something, and tried his hardest not to bleed on anyone.
And then sitting around for like, what, ten-billion days waiting for a demigod to die? BORRRRRING! They probably didn't have card games or anything to pass the time either.
Sometimes, I just think Jesus was an inconsiderate bastard.
