I like what this guy named Matthew said Jesus guy’s ideas were. Mark and Luke said the same but weren’t as good as writers. And another guy named John wrote a fanfic expanding on the original.
And then a guy called Paul (aka Saul) got involved despite never having met the OG crew. And started an expanded universe messing up the canon forever.
I mean, Mark had to go first, so we can give him some slack. And Luke isn’t a worse writer, just a bit of a pretentious one. John is definitely the best storyteller, even if he does go…off the rails a bit. And Paul didn’t write nearly as much as we give him credit/blame for.
I think it is a mixed bag. The teaching about divorce messed up the lives of a lot of people. Then there was that time he told a guy to abandon his dying father to go preach with him. He called a gentile woman a dog. He said most people will be destroyed. Jesus as chronicled by Matthew seems fond of referring to everlasting fire.
To be clear, I am not saying he didn’t say anything good. He said don’t be a hypocrite. He said help others and pay your taxes. He said feed the hungry and clothe the naked. But that doesn’t erase all the bad things the character of Jesus said.
There’s a huge difference between being killed by the authorities for showing disloyalty to an autocratic government and committing an act of terror by killing thousands of random people to make your point.
I like this Jesus guy’s ideas, I just don’t think he’s magic.

See, Evangelicals don’t worship Jesus. He’s just their mascot. They worship Paul.

I do agree that Paul sucks balls though.
