Most historians agree Jesus very likely was a real person. Possibly even an algamation of multiple people.

However, doesn’t make him the son of God or even a holy entity.

Most likely he was a highly charismatic person who had a LOT of grievances with both the church and government, and his message turned into a political movement the Romans tried to quench ala Paul and the re-writings of the text at the time.

We actually have a good chunk of knowledge on Pontius Pilate, who was a real person. A real person who would NEVER wash his hands of executing someone. He was a big fan of it.

Part of the revision was to eject the Romans from the death of Jesus, and blame the Jewish people, in order to make the movement more palatable to the Roman people. Thus, the story of Pilate “washing his hands” of the matter because he thought Jesus was in fact, a righteous man.

Jews didn’t crucify people. They stoned them to death.

Jesus had a lot of criticism of the Roman occupation and was killed by the Romans.

Decades later when mythology started to surround this human, we see the revisions really kick into high gear

Looks like a clone of Battlezone, which predates this by quite a lot

I agree. His motivations were purely political in order to keep people in line when he realized this new movement wasn’t going away any time soon.

Which is why on one hand we have Jesus calling for freedom of oppression, while Paul was telling slaves to obey their masters, even the cruel ones

Religion has always been politically motivated to control people.

You’re not dumb as fuck.

It’s a common misconception. Wasn’t even really until around the time of Queen Isabella (Might have the wrong queen as it’s pretty late here) that fair skin was considered preferable and a sign of religious purity.

Humans are a weird species.

Like I said, more Olive toned. Sorry it offends you but ancient Europeans, especially people in the Italian peninsula and Greece didn’t exactly look like the Europeans of today, being as most of them came from a different part of the world

They weren’t white people who left the middle east, they were middle eastern people who eventually turned white due to the different climate conditions of the area.

Not dumb as fuck, nuanced. History is neat like that

He existed alright but we have zero idea if he claimed to be the son of God. That was added much later after his death.

Jesus could in fact be an algamation of various men at the time who led the religious/social movement that would eventually become Christianity, and not all early versions claimed him to be the son of God. Some even claimed him to be a new God here to rescue us from the original God who was harsh, vindictive and punishing. Lots of wild shit.

So even the “he said he was the son of God” is a myth and legend.

But there definitely was a dude who was alive back then who had a LOT of complaints concerning the church and the government.

Ancient Romans weren’t even really white. More olive toned.

There aren’t any white people in the Bible.

They were changed much, much longer than 200 years.

Hell, the book of Mark, the oldest version we have (that both Mathew and Luke are copied from) has a completey different ending and vibe than what he have now

A grumpy, almost cynical Jesus who gets annoyed pretty often that people don’t listen to him or his instructions. It’s hilarious.

There are about 30 gospels that didn’t make it into the final version of the Bible, some talk about a little about it.

Most were ordered destroyed and not rediscovered until pretty recently in Egypt.

I’m not a Christian, just someone with an interest in it. There’s pretty much no doubt Jesus was someone who actually was alive, but what we have concerning his “story” could possibly be an algamation of different people who led both a religious and social revolution at the time

One theory suggests that Jesus actually has a brother who looked strikingly similar (James) enough to actually pull off pretending to be him.

Which would explain after his death why people purported to have seen him. Possibly a tactic to keep the revolution alive

None of the Gospels were written by the apostles. They didn’t even have names until much, much later. I’m talking centuries.

Life expectancy was also much shorter

Mathew and Luke are both just re-writes of Mark. Mark is the oldest out of them all, and the oldest surviving versions we have are not designated a name.

It was a marketing ploy much later to give each gospel a name of one of his apostles to give them more credibility.

Some parts of Mathew and Luke are even word for word copies from Mark, which suggests that they are revisions from a different party who decided to edit in their own ideas.

Hell, the original version of Mark actually has a different ending than the one we got in the modern Bible.

John comes much, much later which is why it’s so different than the other three. It’s Spaceballs.

None of the Gospels were written by anyone who personally knew him.

Just add a non-steam game to your library. I do that with epic, gog, and even my emulated and modded games. All in one place with just a couple clicks

I don’t think many outside of here do.

Many people here stay in the place they were born. Even when they hate it. It’s hard moving and leaving everything behind. It’s tough moving to a new part of the country without any contacts.

I’ve relocated a few times, there’s always a culture shock. You’d think it would be pretty much the same everywhere due to our saturated commercial culture, but it really is different everywhere. Sometimes just a few hours of separation between places can be two completely different worlds

We’re a nation full of smaller countries, cultures and customs. It’s hard to see that on the outside looking in due to so many of us parroting things online, as well as the media that we distribute throughout the world (movies, tv, music ect)

But it’s a VAST nation of many different ways of life.

I’m a millennial and I think it’s fine. We need to stop acting like it’s only boomers doing this shit.

Just say you’re middle aged and this offends you instead of bitching about the entire platform.

Our generation has a LOT to own up to that we pass on to Gen X and the Boomers.

A bit late to the party but no one has mentioned Kolibri or Spider-Man: Web of Fire.

Both great games. Kolibri should be getting a lot more praise than it does. Why it’s never been ported elsewhere baffles me.

In case you didn’t want to go to Twitter, here’s the list:

Does he honestly believe that an single browser company can take down google by checks notes LOSING 85% of their resources?

Gonna guess the poster is very young

Cigarette butts really anger me. It’s a sign of entitlement that I hate. The person knows it’s smelly and disgusting, so they get it as far away from their person or car without a second thought.

I can be judgemental about it because I smoked for over 20 years. I kept a ziplock bag on me (kind of like you would for dog poop when walking your dog) and would keep em in there until I could find a trash can. The ashtray in my car was also used instead of throwing them out the window.

Now that I’ve quit the habit, I notice it even more. It’s awful. My father and mother in law throw their butts on our lawn literally every time they come over, even though they are fully aware that we don’t smoke. When I put a coffee can on the front porch and let them know that’s where they should throw them, they looked at ME like I was the rude one.

Judge em hard. Cigarette smokers have very little space for other people in their world.

I’ve been on it for about a month. All the people I followed on Instagram (that have downloaded threads) automatically were added to my follows. Lots of Sci Fi and movie discussion

Politics, too.

My experience has actually been pretty good. It’s like Twitter but with a lot more leftists stuff

Just me.

I’m old and have very few friends, heh. Especially ones who would even know what plex is
