MAYBE THIS IS MORMON THEOLOGY...

(h/t Gawker)

but it's been a long time since this claim was taken seriously by decent people.

Glenn Beck said on his TV show that the Jews were responsible for killing Jesus, (transcript from LexisNexis):

BECK: There is a lot there. This is kind of complex. Because Jesus did identify with the victims, but Jesus was not a victim. He was a conqueror. The death of Jesus Christ is a moment of victory, as is the resurrection. See, this is the main difference here, victims as opposed to messiahs, conquerors. Victims were conquerors. Jesus conquered death. He wasn't victimized. He chose to give his life. He did have a choice.

If he was a victim, and this theology was true, then Jesus would have come back from the dead and made the Jews pay for what they did. That's an abomination.

If you research the Jewish reaction to Gibson's Passion, however, you will find documentation provided by the most honest Jewish historians and rabbis that extant Phariasiasm did indeed credit itself with involvement-and still does.
