    So that means nothing about Christianity then, right?

          I think they would have just murdered him again, tbh.

          Although when Jesus comes back he’s supposed to be wrathful, so he’d probably kill all the Christians who use his name for hate as his first act.

              While there are zero prophecies left to be fulfilled, AND like five of them have been fulfilled in the last decade, if there is a supernatural Jesus to come back, we still have a long way to go to match the worldwide suffering seen in Revelations before Jesus’s return.

            Not exactly wrathful, more like, he shows up when there’s a lot of ambient wrath going on. Mainly he just resurrects all who died in faith and sets up a judgment throne.

            And he won’t kill them, just they don’t get heaven. The sheep and goats judgment. The section that “What you have done to the least of those, you have done to me” comes from there.

            Honestly I think the existential suffering brought about by realizing that they have no place in heaven after a lifetime of religious lip service is FAR more poignant than any death could be

            Not that most lemmings think this is anything more than a long repeated fairy tale, granted

      Time for the sartre quote again.

      “Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

      The assholes know what they are doing. They know they are hypocritical. They don’t care. You cannot engage in conservatives/anti-semites/fascists/et al with reason because they will not argue in good faith. They are bad people. Selfish, fearful, people.
