> Similarly, it's easy to rule out Jesus figure. Jesus, a god made everyman, who wept at his friend's death and sweated over his impending crucifixion imploring, pleading or praying that he might get a pass and live. ...

> sartoris22:
> I don't want to get into biblical hermeneutics here, but some might question your interpretation of Jesus "imploring, pleading or praying that he might get a pass and live." Even the gospels are inconsistent about Jesus' behavior during his final moments. ...

Kemper now:
Your hermeneutics are off.  The reference wasn't on or near the cross.  It occurred after dinner in the garden where he sweated and asked God to 'take this cup from me' which I take to mean, "Please, God, can I have a 'Jesus lives' Friday?"  

Jesus shows his humanity so beautifully in the garden that it makes the Passion more heart felt for the reader whether they believe or not.
