The means by which we live have outdistanced the ends for which we live. Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men. – Martin Luther King, Jr.

If Jesus had been killed twenty years ago, Catholic school children would be wearing little electric chairs around their necks instead of crosses.
-Lenny Bruce
The earliest reference to the crucifixion and electric chairs that I could find is in a novel by Phillip Wylie. In Finnley Wren, the central character gets in trouble by suggesting that a modern Jesus possibly would have been electrocuted instead of put up on a cross. He even mentioned the little electric chairs around the neck. The novel was written either in the 1940s or 50s.
