8. If he was a god, it was suicide by cop

If he was a man, it was what the bluenoses always try to do to the rest of us who don't quite fit their narrow and pinched idea of what other people should be like so the bluenoses won't be tempted to sin by the rest of us.

In any case, the Romans did the actual deed because they were sick of constantly dealing with the bluenoses and their complaints about the guy.

None of it made any sense at all to me and I was deeply unimpressed by the "it's a mystery, you need to have faith" argument of last resort. So I left.
