Nobody ever makes an attempt to discredit Jesus, which is ironic because he is the one we know LEAST about.

They? Who the fuck is they? Are you one of those conspiracy theorists that believes a secret society runs the world?
1st: No one to this day agrees *why* JFK was assassinated. Seriously, there are people who have dedicated their lives to it. nearly 50 years later it's been offered up as possibly '
The question of the 20th century'
Theories range from the most plausible 'nutjob with an axe to grind' to the laughable 'he wanted to bring the Hoover-esque CIA to heel plus end Vietnam' to the truly outlandish 'He was a member of the Illuminati gone rogue and needed to be silenced'.
He wasn't a martyr if people can't agree what he died for.
2nd: MLK- One crazy guy with an inordinately large streak of racism (and a large criminal record) acted out of rage against another person with an opposing ideal. I'm starting to think you need to hit up Webster-Merriam to re-acquaint yourself with the term martyr before we continue this discussion.
I in NO WAY want to discount what Martin Luther King Jr. had to say, or the equality he fought for, but make no mistake, he never offered to die for it.
No one discredits Jesus' martyrdom, because according to the bible, he actually VOLUNTEERED to die for a cause.
I'm gonna let it go. I pretty much put this thing into the 'for shits-n-giggles' column when you compared your hissy-fit over a video game to the fight for civil rights.
It's been fun.
