Summary

This quote suggests that contemporary society has become apathetic and disrespectful towards religious figures like Jesus Christ. It implies that people would no longer react with extreme hostility, as in the crucifixion, but rather display a lack of serious consideration. Instead of rejecting his message outright, they would invite Jesus for social engagement, dismiss his teachings, and ridicule them without taking them seriously. The quote signifies a shift in the way society rejects or disregards important figures and their ideas.
