So Jesus wants people to imitate him by being tortured to death? Ew.

Harry repeatedly comes onto a science fiction fan forum and makes public 
mention of belonging to a religious group who's holy book repeatedly 
declares people like Keith vile, corrupt and incapable of doing good. 
Keith didn't stick pins in anyone, and I suggest you owe him an apology 
for saying he has. Keith saw a post made on a public forum and asked a 
valid question about the post.
