God
of the Absurd
Jesus of
Nazareth was declared God and Redeemer through his crucifixion by the Council
of Nicea. Now that the myth of original
sin is historically and theologically found impossible as a credible myth, Jesus and his death can now
be looked at as a challenge to the Roman Empire.
Jesus of
Nazareth was not the first to be crucified by the Roman Empire for advocating
freedom. He is the best known for
advocating a nonviolent jihad for freedom.
