What is the difference between Sydney Carton and Jesus?

How much does Christianity owe to the symbolism of martyrdom?

Is senseless killing (like Meursault) the symbolic inverse of Christ's death? Meursault kills someone else for no reason. Christ let himself be killed by others for all the reasons.

Can an atheist die for an ideal?

I should add why I think self-crucifixion is the most /lit/ death.

Crucifixion leaves the person in a pose opposite to their pose in the womb. Instead of confined to a enclosed area where you cling to yourself (and your mother) for safety, on a cross you are forcibly spread open; exposing all your vulnerabilities with no choice but to confront the thing coming, your death. No place to retreat to, no return to the safety you once felt. Crucifying yourself is to be the punisher and the punished. Shamelessly, you willed your fate into a representation of resilience against an overwhelming force.

Yes, dude. Were you asleep when you read the Bible?

When Jesus goes to be resurrected, he goes to be seated "at the right hand of the Father." But we never actually see the God depicted. It's an unknowable, described in metaphor as a bright light in a cloud, or a even more mysteriously simply as a commanding voice.

You've got a point.

As you look at the ceiling, Iron Man smashes through it, killing the spider. You can hear Spiderman scream from the distance. Iron Man just killed his spider mom. They go somewhere else to fight. You don't get to see what's happening since you're still lying down in your bathtub. Iron Man comes back to your bathroom with a gun and says that his coolant ran out. This reminds you of what Nick Valentine from Fallout 4 says from time to time. Even that suit reminds you of Fallout power armour. Iron Man shoots you cuz it's hot in his suit. The end.

Incidentally Jesus went not without considerable fear and doubt. He was a mortal man who claimed to be the messiah, who heard God. Read the Gospels, which describe the Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. He gave his life willingly. This is the culmination of all his teachings: the Beatitudes, the Sermon on the Mount and on the Plain. He talked the talk and walked the walk so that we might do the same.

I was watching Touching the Void which is a docudrama film thing, if you're too lazy to google, about a couple pals who climb up a virgin slope of a mountain in Peru and nearly die on the way up and come very close on the descent. One of them breaks his leg and his partner attempts to lower him via a lengthy rope at 150 or so foot junctures. Eventually the slope is undercut by a little ice precipice that he goes over and gets stuck on, suspended above a huge crevice, and after an hour and a half of hanging there freezing to death, his partner, not knowing why he hasn't righted himself to let the rope slack so he can continue the descent and lower him at another juncture, is too close to slipping and sending them both off so he cuts the rope. Broken leg man is sent falling in to the crevice which is hundreds of feet deep, but crashes through some sort of wall at enough to stop him from dying, and falls on to some slope in the crevice by luck which would be a drop depth of about 100 feet without dying. Seeing the footage of the inside of a huge ice crevice with some actor playing the part and hearing broken leg man's articulate description for the documentary after the fact of what it was like stuck in there with just his headlamp left an impression with me of what it would've been like for him or anyone to be stuck on that slope in the crevice, not dying from the cold any longer since you're protected from the elements, just succumbing to dehydration or maybe blood loss from the broken leg and left alone in the vastness of the ice cave with your thoughts.

Really good movie/documentary.

Woman tries to stop the men fighting at birthday party, men stop fighting for a bit and carry her off, toss her in the well. She's hanging onto for dear life as the party continues on, then falls to her death after the celebrations are over.

Son of a drowned fisherman goes to the gravesite and lays atop the grave so as to be closer to his father. The gravesite is empty, so he is effectively filling the grave himself. As the failing revolution comes to a climax the boy steals a boat and dives into the water to 'search for his father.'

Polish author Jan Potocki who wrote The Manuscrpit Found in Saragossa shot himself in 1815 with a silverbullet he manufactured himself by filing a piece of a samovar into bullet shape over the course of weeks. He had the bullet blessed by a priest and shot himself because he thought he was becoming a werewolf.

There's a local used book shop where the owner just watches tv all day and there are literally three or four layers of books piled in the rows. Near the back they are all leaning and crowding into arch shapes. Almost like walking through an arbour, if you ever knocked them over you'd surely suffocate to death while the owner snacked and watched his grainy stories.
