When I was about 6? I was talking with my neighbors about Jesus. They went to a Catholic school and I wanted to know about him. I heard that they crucified him and thought "Gosh, people were so wicked back then. What would have happened to me if I lived back then?" at which point I had a vision of me bowing on the ground getting my head chopped off by a person that came on a horse in red.
This has led me to believe that I'm John the Baptist.

Back then?
Let me guess: you don't have any problem with the death penalty, right? Lethal injection, electric chair, crucifiction, it's stall all totally barbaric.

You're a fucking loony, GoldenShowerCowboy.
"a horse in red"
Eyyup!

"I think other people have been beheaded somewhere along history..."
Somehow, I doubt History has ever cropped up in GoldenShowerCowboy's 'hoemskuling' curriculum. If it had, he'd have heard of one Joan of Arc.
Y'know what happened to people like her, in the past, who thought they had a direct line to the Man Upstairs , GSC? These days, what she had is known as Schizophrenia , and they do worse than 'cut your head off': Neurochemically lobotomise you with Happy Pills. >:D
You're a nutpop, GSC, and no mistake.
Wasn't John the Baptist executed (for a number of different reasons, depending on which Gospel you're reading)? You usually don't execute people through decapitation while riding. A scythe or sword held by a standing executioner was probably much more common.
Is reincarnation really a Christian doctrine?
My mum was a Sunday school teacher when I was about 6, and she sometimes brought home booklets and stickers that they used there, for us to play with. I can still remember the taste of the glue (it was the lick-and-stick type). I don't remember mum trying to teach us anything about Christ, but she probably read them to us. She read a lot of other things as well, though.
This is some bizzarre mixture of religions.
Mainly it was an axe for decapation. Most swords can't cut clean through a neck, but axes can if the blades sharp enough and its heavy enough.
"I heard that they crucified him and thought "Gosh, people were so wicked back then. What would have happened to me if I lived back then?""
I get the feeling that you're lying, because when someone is 6 it is very unlikely that they know what crucifixion is or even fully understand the concept of death.
Also, that's quite the delusion you have there friend, perhaps you should seek help for that.
You know, I had almost this same experience. Hearing of the crucifixion as a child, wondering what I would have done if I was there. Of course, what I took from it was that going along with mob mentality is no excuse for bad decisions; that I should always take care to research, question, and make up my own mind. Realizing that I might have been one of the people calling "give us Barabbas" is one of the defining moments of my life.
> I'm John the Baptist.
You're a loony.
Confused?
