Torah and Order

"In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories."

It always makes for great drama when a person who is wrongly accused of a crime, finally has their name cleared by the legal system that condemned them. However when the criminal in question is the Son of God, the story becomes somewhat anti-climatic. A Kenyan religious group called the "Friends of Jesus" is attempting to set the legal history straight concerning "He Who Sits on the Right", claiming that he was railroaded by Pontias Pilate and the Roman legal system (story here). Pardon me for being inarticulate but...DUH! I'm about as sick of this as I was the O.J. trial. Of course He was railroaded, there was no record of Him committing blasphemy or doing anything wrong. Anyway how can you commit blasphemy if you ARE God? Our one victory and they want to take it away from us. After His execution, he conquered death and atoned for the sins of all mankind. That kinda stole the sweetness from us.

What they hope to accomplish, I'm not sure. I don't think He was having trouble getting jobs or buying a new house. Maybe they want to horn in on the book deal.
