If someone is used by someone, we generally feel sorry for the one
being used.  For as long as civilization is, the most used is Christ.
People use him for power, previlege, money,sex, sickness,
loneliness,emptyness, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.
etc.................  Jim Baker said he is innocent. I figure it
probably take 4 billion instead 4 million, Tammy Fay, instead Jecica
Han him to feel GUILTY.  Can any one out there tell me who else in the
history of the world has be used and raped more than Jesus Christ ?
Poor Christ !

As to "I feel sorry for Christ," it says in Mark, that Christ was ment to
suffer.  Without his suffering, how glorious would his return be?  How
great would his death mean.  Without suffering, how is the message going
to get across?  Next time you think: 'Christ died for my sins', imagine
the agony on his face and how much glorious his death really is with that
immage.

Just as an afternote:

Christ lived and loved.  Then he died.  Now he loves and lives.  What is
the difference?  We are forgiven.
