No, that wasn't tasteless that was the ultimate act of sacrifice and it means a lot to me. I cannot ever begin to even imagine how painful it was. I think it dawned on me a little when I saw the Mel Gibson film. Prior to that I'd been too used to the rather twee images that portray nothing of the agony and suffering.
I cannot speak for God but I know that if I saw something making a mockery of the pain and suffering of a child of mine I wouldn't be having a little chuckle at it. I'd probably be shedding a tear.
I don't want to turn this into a religious debate because I don't think that's what AccyWeb is all about but this is the only post I have come across which makes me feel so saddened.
