Can attest. Christian roommate gave me a bible (no, really. I’m not joking.). He hoped it’d “save” me. This was more than two decades ago and he believed the earth was 5000 years old. A really intelligent guy actually thought this!

I don’t believe Jesus was a historical figure. Checkmate Libs, I can’t possibly be a nazi. /sarcasm

(To be fair, Libs (the ones that are elected, not necessarily the voters) can fuck off because they’re center-right and completely worthless at stopping the far-right. Sorry, the right. There’s no far-right at this point. It’s just who they are now. Fascism in the USA happened way before I predicted. Form a third party, lib voters. Dems won’t save us.)

Jesus wasn’t a real person. And nazis can fuck off. Here are two of my favorite things to repost (it’s convenient that I get two in one!):

Worth noting, Patriot Front had a huge leak of data in 2022 (400GB).

Then this:

Jesus is an ahistorical figure who was originally crucified in the firmament above the earth. Notice no mention of an earthly ministry in the Pailine epistles; Paul is arguing for salvation from a heavenly figure. In his letters, Jesus is still to be revealed, rather than returning. Only decades later did the stories about a human man get written.

The Didache was most likely part of the letter written by the “pillars in Jerusalem” (James the Just, Peter, and John) after their meeting with Paul. This was the meeting to discuss the matter of preaching to gentiles and whether circumcision ought to be required for christian converts. It contains many of the tenets later ascribed to Jesus, but doesn’t associate him with teaching them.

The reason the earthly story was embraced by the church was to stop people like Paul from having visions of Christ that the church couldn’t control. By pointing to a real guy on earth, they could control the message. Otherwise, any yokel on the street could teach that Jesus revealed new teachings and the church risked being undermined.

Marcion was probably the first to create a collection of writings associated with christianity: he collected some of Paul’s letters and had his own gospel. It was thought that he had a shortened version of Luke (as testified by Eusebius and Tertullian). Marcion, however, claimed that his gospel had been “judaized”; this suggests that his shorter version was the original gospel before others modified it.

Acts was written as a direct response to Marcion’s scripture. It was written to harmonize Paul’s high-jacking of the religion by making he and Peter appear to be in alignment when actually he was at odds with the leaders in Jerusalem. See the story about Simon (not the apostle). He was a competing religious leader with followers who was written about for centuries (and the source of the word Simony).

The Jerusalem pillars (James, Peter, John), were strict adherents of Judaism, whereas Paul taught that Jesus made the Law / Torah unnecessary. They were almost certainly Essenes, one of the three flavors of Judaism at the time (the other two were the Pharisees and Sadducees mentioned in the new testament). John the Baptist was clearly also an Essene. He’s said to wear camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts and honey. His practice of baptism also aligns with daily ritual water immersion, which is presently believed to be a core practice of the Essenes.

This is a very long way of saying that Jesus first appeared in visions and spoke to the early leaders without walking on earth. It’s a fringe belief about which I was quite skeptical, but damn if the evidence doesn’t line up. See Robert Price, Earl Doherty, and Elbe Spurling for more info. Elbe’s online book is free and contains a huge amount of historical information about the region at the time (more history and context than any religious book I’d seen before; awesome because I’m a history nerd).

Copy / pasta end. There’s no jesus, but there are nazis. FUCK NAZIS. Hit them in the face. Christians who keep their faith to themselves, you’re cool. The one’s who try to take over politics and mandate rules / laws for others (christo-nationalists) need to be punched and kicked in the dick. Fuck them in the ear and tell them they aren’t welcome.

I feel like people don’t get it. If you aren’t hurting children, then how are you making america great? You have to be a nazi piece of shit or you don’t matter. Did the president hurt children? It doesn’t matter!

Fucking for fucks sake.

Didn’t you read the article? His job is spreading rightwing propaganda. France caught on and terminated his access, as they should.

Ever since IBM / Red Hat ruined CentOS, I’ve been using Debian when I need Linux. Welcome in from the cold. We have hot coco and blankets.

Struggle to paste the path to a file. Seriously.

Nope. He had the ability to control her. Nobody can stop our crimes. It’s bad.

In order to predict where thinking and reasoning capabilities are going, it’s important to understand the trail of thought that went into today’s thinking LLMs.

No. You don’t understand at all. They don’t think. They don’t reason. They are statistical word generators. They are very impressive at doing things like writing code, but they don’t work the way that is being inferred here.

I blows my mind how many adults don’t know this. The way I was raised, I’d be embarrassed to get in someone’s way as they tried to exit an elevator. But I was also taught that common decency is a good thing and we’ve clearly given up on that.

If teens and preteens aren’t on social media, how will the pedo-rape crew that hung out with Jefferey Epstein groom them online? Someone please think of the poor, downtrodden richest man on earth, for ONCE PLEASE.

If the answer is that you’re a hateful bigot, you and she can be pals!

I’m not calling you a hateful bigot. I’m calling her one.

Oh, is she? That’s awesome.

This was my first outloud-laugh of the day. I love it.

If those stats are true, eff. I already hated that industry.

Florida is a cesspit.

Wonder what has been alleged.

Kleptocracy at its best.

I don’t have time to find the correct link to the project. For some stupid reason it wasn’t on their main page. Excellent reporting on one of undoubtedly many cases of USA soldiers murdering people in Iraq:

This made me laugh. Go for it. Waste their time. Give me the job description and I’ll do the same.

I’m so happy that, after I decided that I was gonna close Lemmy after reading the posts on the current page, this was the last one. What a great way to wrap up and go about my day after horrible current events and such.
