Christians...Do you view the Crucifixion of Jesus as a miscarriage of justice, or something that was meant to happen?

[Banana!]

Neither. He defied Rome secretly with his disciples, but never said it in public. Notice how through his ministry, he only talked about his coming kingdom with them in private, never to the general population? Jesus said "I came not to bring peace, but a sword". That was what Judas betrayed--the thing that Jesus wouldn't say in public. Judas was just a scared guy who wasn't sure about this war cult, so he turned Jesus in to the authorities for what he had been saying in private.

But then when confronted by Pilate at his trial, he tried to save his own skin by going "Um...uh...my kingdom is not of this world, yeah! I wasn't really trying to bring a sword. It was just a...metaphor. Yeah, a metaphor!"

Pilate didn't buy it and had him killed.

His followers, in shock and not knowing what else to do now that their Anointed One had been killed, built a narrative about how he was a spiritual being, God in the flesh.

One thing led to another and now we have Christianity.
