text: Jesus was crucified because he preached love, forgiveness, and that we are all part of the Kingdom of God.  Of course when he was suffering and dying on the cross in severe excruciating pain he cried out Father,  Why has thou forsaken me?  He was the son of God.  God resurrected him and 2,000 years later his life and death are celebrated.  It would have been disrespectful not to refer to Good Friday and Easter by Senator Kelly.
