If Jesus Christ was brought up on trial today for the crime of treason, I often wonder how would the media cover the trial. Would he be portrayed as an angry mad-man, leader of an angry cult that committing unthinkable crimes against the state? Somebody declared a menace to God and man, most deserving of his painful death on cross? I am sure the District Attorney would be featured in a press conference, discussing how long-sought after justice was finally served against Jesus Christ — and that his death on the cross would deliver long-needed closure for the victims.

The television would also bring on voices of people who were victimized by Jesus Christ, for his acts of treason, organizing people against the lawful orders of the state. They might briefly mention his work on behalf of the common man, but argue that the way he went around confronting the Alderman and the rich power brokers, isn’t the way forward. The media would attach all of the bad actions of his followers to Jesus Christ, the violence, the hatred, all of which Jesus was not responsible for as the leader of the common man against the rich.
