A lot of Christians don’t seem to like Jesus ethier. They just like the brand.

I think a lot of conservative “Christians” think that if they pretend like they are following the way of Christ according to their bastardized version where they hate queer people, that they’ll somehow be able to declare themselves right and be able to stay the mean shits that they are. When in reality Jesus would not approve of their behaviour at all.

Edited to add: I actually practice Christianity and go to a very progressive church. I love queer people, I think conservatives are a cancer on society, and I believe in birth control and abortion rights like I invented them. I am not wild about Jesus or the Bible, and I mostly attend because I believe in a God and I think attending a community space where we want to be better humans together in a happy and life giving way is a vital part of life. I do not in any way expect people to believe what I do and I welcome most points of view, conservative trash and Nazis excluded. I have sort of a gnostic view I guess where I think intelligence and the ability to act accordingly is what saves you as a human.

But everything conservatives are doing religiously to me is utter self serving rotten trash.

Same for the rest too.

They like trump because he’s a great “business man”. Yet he’s not.

They like kid rock because he’s a ‘country rock rebel.’ Nahh he’s just old and stale.

They like elon because he is a ‘genius.’ LOL no.

They just vibing and can’t be bothered to actually give a shit.

That’s exactly the case. Christianity follows Paul, not Jesus, and only keeps the “Christ” part for marketing

I wouldn’t have thought so either, but I bet there is a lot of spill over from Trump > Elon and a lot of Trump supporters are religious nut jobs.

Jesus also works for Islam, in fact he’s the most mentioned character in Quran.

I agree, Muhammed’s fan base will kill you if you dare depict him, just look at what happened with Charlie Hebdo.

I used to be a fan of kid Rock…

It was the early 2000’s.

I’m still down with a lot of music from that time, I’ll still rock Smash mouth, I sympathize with what happened to their lead singer, but kid Rock is entirely self inflicted and instead of the world moving on from him (like smash mouth) they have him on a pedestal. Why should anyone from my generation be on a political tour because of music they made? It pretty much all sucked. They didn’t write any of it themselves… Barely any of them even performed it live. I respect Nickelback “Rockstar” for calling this out.

I think the Aramaic spoken at the time would have been pronounced closer to Yeshua or Yeshu.

The sentiment still stands dude was pretty chill, except that one time he fliped the tables of the money changers and hucksters turning a house of worship into a house of commerce. Still pretty based of him.

I honestly think Jesus would be a little embarrassed to have people hanging on his every word and ascribing meanings to it in the form of a book report on them every Sunday that he probably didn’t mean. It’s nice to teach us how to treat others and so on, but people loudly assuring others that Jesus loves them; well I have trouble believing Jesus thinks a lot of child predators and rapists myself. And I like what Jesus taught, but I don’t think everyone in the world is salvageable.

I’d be curious AF what he thought about all these depictions of him as a white dude with straight, light brown hair

I suppose it’s fair to say that some of the early artists who painted him probably never saw a brown Jew, and were handed down the stories of the Bible same as anyone, and just painted what they know. I can’t fault anyone for that, but the fact that the world very much knows better now and continues with this is obnoxious.

He would probably be more annoyed at having a bunch of existing stories changed to make him the protagonist.
