In case he poops his pants in rage?

Ah look to be fair, that short generation Al thing has only become unusual in broader western society in the last hundred years or even less.

Isn’t there some kind of conservative something or other about women staying at home? Like… to look after the kids etc?

I’m not saying that ‘philosophy’ is correct, but I do wonder if the cognitive dissonance amongst her supports is ringing ever more loudly.

Ok that’s fine, but please examine the differences in motivation.

Let’s say Plato etc are indeed made up. There’s little money to be made or social control gained via their fictitious being.

Let’s go further down that path.

The ideas and examinations of nature, and the basic sciences of understanding our universe, even if done by one or more people under the guise of some fictional characters are still incredible foundations for rational thinking over the next two and a half thousand years. Again: advancing understanding and what we know as ‘science’, not direct social control and making money off the punters.

Religion… well… That’s something else.

There are huge profits to be made from telling people stuff about how various magical creatures can inflict punishments, heal illnesses and forgive bad behaviour.

The motivations are clear. Humanity hasn’t changed a crumb in several thousand years.

Follow the money.

The point he makes about the only evidence for JC’s reality as a person is other people much later pointing at each other and saying “he said so”.

If, as he said, any real evidence beyond hearsay can be produced it might he credible.

He was like Santa Claus for the masses at the time.

Look, there are some basic precepts of New Testament Christian thought (don’t be an asshole) that are good things. It gets rather muddled quickly after you mall be away from that.

Thank you! I think I refer to them as ‘rightwing’ because the MAGA lot in the US love him for his autocratic ways.

Also: Jesus was made up by these early Xtian founders. He wasn’t a real person.

The GOP will NOT LIKE that. ‘Bama and other states will reject the funding because… reasons.
