Jesus was white and was crucified in a spontaneous act of a anti white hate crime

It's hilarious that modern day Christian nationalists don't realize that they are exactly the people who crucified Jesus the first time or that they would immediatly do it again if he showed up today.

Makes me almost wish I was a Christian cause it would give me hope that these awful fuckers would face the ultimate embarrassment in the afterlife.

he was the first victim of the white genocide in south africa

of all the legit things to be critical of the pope/papacy about, the fact that he's generally anti-war is so instructive.

they can excuse the hierarchy, the wealth, the secrecy, the persecution of women, LGBTQ+, the protecting of child abusers, the gatekeeping, the rich history of violence, murder, and betrayal against those that most need protection, the fascist collaboration, etc, etc.

but being against war and bombing of cities... well, hold the phone.

i try to avoid believing in actual, literal evil but so many of these people seem to worship it.

I mean geez, why couldn't we get one of those Crusader popes? Those guys were all about war. /s

In all likelyhood he was a random doomsday preacher who was made a legend by the unknown gospel authors and Paul.

For the century after the Maccabees there were probably so many doomsday preachers named Joshua that everyone might have been talking about different guys and not realized it

They were talking about the same guy but it could have just as easily been a different similar guy.

Thou shalt not kill

WHY'D YOU MAKE IT FUCKIN' POLITICAL

He was a radical dissident that was killed by the government for criticizing them and for agitating the masses with his speeches.

Totally not political.

Even worse...... He was a radical dissident that was killed by reactionaries in his own community. Even the Romans were like....... You guys sure about this?

The whole pilate not wanting to execute jesus and the crowd shouting for clemency for barabas instead was probably added later to make christianity more palatable to the romans who didn’t want to see themselves as the villains

I mean..... Who hasn't wanted to edit their works of fiction at some point or another?

Jesus, the real guy as depicted in the bible, would have taken a whip to your average chud to drive them out of the temple. But today modern anglo heretics use Jesus as a blank slate to project their fucked up shit onto.

Bible Jesus wouldnt approve of like...aby of this but he also thought the world was gonna end innlike 30 years max. Apocalypticism was huge amongst jews at the time, like Beatlemania. Dude eas badically preaching to that Christmas is coming up soon and Santa is warching bt that parents do but with God ans the end times. If he thought shit was gonna keep going another couple thousand years he probably would have acted very different.

he was definitely executed by the Roman state, that the Jews did it has no historical support

I was working within the framework of the Bible, the vast majority of which has very little to no historical support.

Majority is a pretty bold statement. There are aspects without historical support, jews were most likely never Egyptian slaves and were probably a sect within the Canaanites that grew to dominance. I woild say that literal divine intervention is ahistorical, but while for sure skewed to the side of the writers, there is a solid amoimt of historical support behind the broad strokes of events in the Bible. The specifics and the god stuff isnprivsvlt made up but to say the vast majority has no historical support is absurd.

The bible is also Roman propaganda

fair enough, I was thinking of the historical dude

He was a fictional character invented by an apocalyptic Jewish sect a century or so after his supposed life.

No serious historian thinks that. Jesus was definitely a real dude who was really a religious leader and really got crucified.

that the Jews did it has no historical support

??? why does so much indicating that pontius pilate was being pressured by Jewish leaders come up when i google it

Because it really seems like the state executed him... at the behest of local reactionaries

The local compradors didn't have control over the Roman state apparatus by virtue of being colonized subjects. Pilate indeed had Jesus's blood on his hands and no amount of making a public spectacle by washing his hands changes this. The only person who outranked Pilate was the Roman emperor himself, which meant everything fell on his shoulders. He could've just freed Jesus and there was no one there to stop him because Pilate had a Roman legion under his command while the Judean compradors didn't.

According to this shit he had 6k soldiers in a city of 2.5 million so uhhhh i don't think things work the way youse guys do

Simply put, the article you link is wrong. 2.5 million number should have been a big red flag, actual estimates for the population of Jerusalem in those times are 20 to 30 thousand, swelling to 100,000 or more during the passover festival but still an order of magnitude lower than that article is claiming.

I picked one link that wasn't a reddit thread because I assumed the BBC is an actual source, i don't care enough to go through all this shit but my point was "there was no one there to stop him" is false whether it's 2.5 million or 100k. I also see tons of nerds arguing over the estimate of the actual strength of his army, I see one nerd claim he'd only have an auxiliary cohort of 600 "but could call on herod's army of around 3000 if necessary but that would have been politically awkward"

There is no set of numbers im seeing here where "the romans can just do whatever the fuck they want and pontius pilate should have absolutely 0 concern over unrest" is guaranteed

What are you seeing that's indicating that? What's understood about the hospital Jesus is very slim. He was a Galilean Jewish apocalyptic preacher. He was baptized by John the Baptist. He was crucified by the Roman state. Beyond that, nothing is certain. He probably has disciples. He was probably a miracle worker as was typical of his time. He probably caused some kind of stir at the Temple. That's about it.

Shit like this stating as fact that pontius pilate was worried about unrest and rioting if he didn't crucify him

Jonathan Davis became a trad-Cath?

Raise the shieldwall noble ones!

It's true Jesus was maga he even had the hat, it was recently found in a dig site.

Mighty big talk from someone claiming to be God's mouthpiece

Jesus was a 5'4", brown-skin socialist

Nothin' like the white man on that crucifix

The truth is there, you just won't notice it.

Grandson - Little White Lies

oh fuck, not this guy go back to crying about politics in vidya or better yet larping as a roman soldier and talking about ancient history

Am I ever so glad that I stopped using Youtube before all the history and medieval creators went mask off in their fascism. It still hurts my soul that I at some point actually watched videos by people like him or Shad Brooks before I got politically literate.
