I've been thinking a bit. You know how the media has basically made this guy a saint out of being martyred? What if that's what happened to Jesus as well. Strip away the theology and examine just the reality. He was just some carpenter's son that got caught in an act so horrendous by the Romans that Jesus's friends made a religion around it to ultimately make people remember the injustice. Still have a few events and such to explain from a practical stand point but I think it could be a neat theory.
Every report of Floyd's life before his death was and has been negative. A vast majority of Jesus' legacy is the words he said during his life, his beliefs and values.
Probably. The Disciples were super woke, for their day.
Not that the basic ideology is bad. A decent basic moral system arose from the Torah, even if its original adherents have spent millennia trying to weasel around its confines. It's just incorrect, in the way all utopian visions are incorrect. The virtue of conflict should always be part of a complete moral system.
No, it just encourages submission. At least the Catholic Church was smart enough to grant rapists and murderers their indulgences if they'd just go kill muzzie scum, but that was a political innovation.
Romans were crucifying people all the time, it wasnt really a special treatment.
Jesus was part of some sort of Jewish resistance movement that probably sought to restore the pre-Judges way of life (as per the Zealotes), which is why the "Son of David" shit surrounding him was so important. He was crucified for starting a city -wide riot meant to throw a fuck into the Occupational Romans. The shit he was balls deep in (and a leader of) culminated in the 70 ad thing, Masada, and a flood of Jews running to France and England and all over Europe, because Romans were not so easily fucked with as modern people are.
He was no simple carpenter, he had the right lineage. He would have been more like a contractor. The fishermen? Masters of fishing fleets. The social status of these people is seriously downplayed in the New Testament, and the actual one or two commoners are put in the forefront .........
There's no magic involved in that story at all.
