IMO the death of Jesus is supposed to teach us respect for individual rights & the freedom to peacefully challenge any authority in order to demonstrate what is true & right & good.

When we fail to respect the rights of the individual it ultimately kills all that is true & right & good.

The only way to bring heaven to earth is to pursue truth over status, over consensus, & over authority. And the more dangerous it becomes to pursue truth, the more important it is that we do.
