Per their beliefs…kind of, right?
God also gave them Biden
Speaker Mike Johnson said God appointed Biden as president
Jesus would be pissed if he heard this. Too bad he is make believe like his dad.
The historical existence of Jesus is not disputed.
Bro it's 2024. The sky being blue is disputed.
Are you sure about that?
Nobody’s “sure”, but there are enough records and accounts to be reasonably confident that among the many traveling rabbis collecting followers in Roman Judaea was one from Nazareth named Joshua/Jesus, and that he was executed for political activities.
That’s it though.
Beyond that, his story is largely a creation of his followers, some of whom were apocalyptically charismatic enough in their own right to keep an ember alive, and eventually it sort of spread among the Jewish diaspora and the military, and happened to be in (relative) ascendance with the latter when an Eastern emperor needed to rethink some political strategies.
After that, it’s largely survivorship bias, with every hint of writing about him being preserved, transcribed, recreated, or invented from whole cloth, and anything from his contemporary itinerant preachers being ignored or suppressed.
The historical existence of several Jewish reformers of the era baked into a singular allegory is not disputed.
The Moron Messiah, King of the Assholes, Hero to the Stupid
You know when religious apologist say "Why would so many believe it back in the day if it was fake???"
Tell them it's 2023, we have the internet, video, photos and morons still believe the shit Trump says....
They’re trying to take everything he’s got.
"And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek, offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak, forbid not to take thy coat also.
Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods, ask them not back."
"Evangelicals demonstrate that their beliefs aren't not, in fact, closely held."
In a sane world the blatant hypocrisy would be a slam dunk in terms of removing any protections or privileges they enjoy as a "religion."
Trump is the antichrist
I covfefed a little reading this.
They should all move to Russia to show their dedication
Kids, doing drug is bad!
