    The goal of Christianity is to convince Indo-Europeans that they have a divine right to use the entire world and universe as their frontier for the endless pursuit of personal sovereignty. It’s a scam to convince a large portion of the population that they’re in on being a “chosen one” so they’ll coerce themselves into expanding the tax base of whatever the major empire of the time is.

    Hear me out in this one, if by disciple they mean Peter who cut off a Romans ear, or Judas who sold out Jesus, or Thomas who doubted Jesus return, then yeah I get it.

    Actually, correct me if I’m wrong but that was Matthias who replaced Judas Iscariot after he gave himself a neck stretch.

      Yup. He brought the total living disciples back up to 12, but was the 13th to be chosen.

      If Jesus came back and came to America, he would be shot within 10 minutes of opening his mouth and 100 years later a new religion would be started with a Glock as it’s symbol.
