I mean, today is stolen holiday, and Jesus never existed. So, it’s just another shitty day in Bethlehem because a bunch of rich cunts want to kill people.
Jesus was historically a real person but also quite different than depicted in many religious contexts.
Uncivilized has an interesting video about whether Jesus was a revolutionary
Jesus was not a real person. Jesus is as real as Noah and his ark. As Lot and his horny daughters. It’s all a collection of oral tales that have been told in many cultures. There may have been “Jesus Like” figures. And, many may have even taken on his name. It’s a common name.
It becomes so obvious when you read how many similar tales exist: Horus, Mithras, Krishna, Buddha, Zoroaster, Dionysus, Osiris, Heracles, Tammuz, Attis.
In 2000 years, expect Capital America to have a following of zealots.
I hate Christmas too but it's not pagan if that's what you meant by stolen.
Ah yes. A random YouTube channel. The peak of academic heights.
