(AP)  Experience the Passion of Christ - in 140-character bursts.

In a marriage of Christian tradition and digital technology, Wall Street's Trinity Church is using the micro-blogging service Twitter to perform the story of Jesus Christ.

The main characters will tweet the Passion play for three hours beginning at noon on Good Friday. The feed also can be delivered to mobile devices or e-mail addresses.

The lower Manhattan Episcopal parish also is offering a Web version of the Stations of the Cross.

The church was founded by a small group of Anglicans in 1697.

Well, if you say he is alive, produce his personal address or phone number.

First you have to provide your proof that He is dead, deal?

No deal. I don't care that he's dead.

However, I have yet to see any Jewish zombies walking around, so I'd have to say you'd have to get around that argument to convince me otherwise.

Proverbs 1:22
"How long will you simple ones love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?

Well, that IS close to what the Gospel of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster says.

So, please don't mock the One True God, the Flying Spaghetti Monster. You'll only make Him angry.

Jesus is the one true God.

Absolutely! Amen.

Muhammed = dead
Buddha = dead
Hindu gods = cows that die
Joseph Smith = dead
Founders of the watchtower Society and Jehovahs Witnesses = DEAD


Jesus Christ = ALIVE!

He shall reign forever and ever!

The Christian-hating-bashing-ignoramuses are out again in full force. Happens every Christmas time and Easter time, just like changing the clocks.

Actually these employees of Satan are on these very cbsnews.com forums every day taking every chance they get to bash Christians and the Lord Jesus Christ. Stick around, and you'll see. They don't just work on Christmas or Resurrection day either.... ...these employees of Satan work full force on these forums, daily.

Jesus is dead--get over it.

Curious, what's your source that Jesus is dead? Where's your burden of proof?

First you have to provide your proof that He is dead, deal? If you're going to make the absolute claim that He is dead, then please provide the source for this Absolute Statement and why you believe in to be true.

The burden of proof is on you.

Jesus lives! He is the only Son of the only True God; the Creator and Master of the Universe. Happy Easter to all - believers and non-believers alike including those of other faiths and creed.

I am sooo glad people are using the web
for things other than viewing porn.

Although The Passion of Christ
has a slight porn ring to it.

Could I suggest The Passionate One.(?)
