    There are way too many people who are deeply convinced that Trump is sent from the christian God and will save the US-american people from evil.

          That’s the part that I’m actually worried about, Christians who are actively seeking to end the fucking world. They want political violence, civil unrest and war in the middle east. It’s so fucked.

            Correct me if I’m wrong, wasn’t Jesus born somewhere in West Asia?

              depends on who you ask.

              there’s solid reason to doubt the biblical narrative, though. the simple answer is “we don’t know, precisely”.

                There is more evidence to support the physical person of Gilgamesh (the epic of whom was stolen almost word for word to create the Torah) than that of a man called Jesus the Christ. Ie contemporary references, records, documents. Not written 30 -400 years after death.

                  There’s really no historical proof, outside biblical accounts.

                  But that doesn’t really mean there’s a need to dismiss it out of hand. There probably was a Jewish mystic faith healer named Jesus (or whatever,); who was executed by the Roman’s for stirring the shit.

                  There were in fact, a lot of them. (John the Baptist comes to mind,)

                  Further, his name (and his father’s,) were. Both extremely common. it’s reasonable to assume at least a few were in fact named Jesus, son of Joseph, and apparently from Nazareth.

                  Together it’s actually not that unlikely. Though he would have had more in common with the sleaziest televangelist faithhealer you can imagine. Joel Osteen, perhaps.
