What does this mean?

Don’t let him go quietly! This should follow him for the rest of his life now that he’s taken his mask off as an oligarch and a neo-Nazi

Like the notion of these otherworldly gods that come from some external place as opposed to the internal moral value people can cultivate within themselves

When they can stop anthropomorphizing other dimensional deities and believe in themselves we might be able to get somewhere

You get it. It’s definitely a gateway for the traditionalist institution to begin recognizing a better path forward

You can put a pic and a link with meta data in the same post? Is that a screenshot of Notes app?

They don’t have the same dynamic as the Third Reich where we have Information Age tech keeping us informed faster, and foreign countries like Japan stating they won’t cooperate with an extortionist thug. 2/2

I think there’s hints of cracks in MAGA with them losing $53 million to get a judge in Wisconsin and Musk’s influence buying votes but lost to a Democrat judge by a landslide. Even MAGA voters seem to be regretting their decision. 1/2

I agree. It’s just hard to stay brave when they can make you disappear with no due process and send you to a death camp to be tortured for life

Sometimes you find out in your pursuit of doing good underlying premises you have are incorrect. I’m not afraid of being wrong. I’m afraid of not growing from it

I’m always taking on new info I’m not a bigot. It should be understandable that an atheist from a Christian upbringing trying to oppose Christian Nationalism seeing a Jew defend Sadducees is going to suspect they resemble religious nationalism. That’s not a stretch. I’m doing my best to do good

Idk how you’d know that without reading the other thread but from what I’ve learned the Sanhedrin had nothing to do with Jesus’ crucifixion and the Christian gospels are a lie. But according to you I don’t know shit so I guess Jews did kill Jesus huh?

It wasn’t a ploy. I was just trying to understand the situation. And due to comments on another thread I think I have a better understanding now

Relatable! This thread had me running through articles so fast

I’m grateful to add these to my reading list. Thank you

I may be incorrect. From what I’ve learned, the Sanhedrin was stressed they would be subjugated to Rome if Jesus’ fellowship took dominance of Judea over theirs because Rome didn’t need opposing religious rule in that region. Am I wrong? I can accept being wrong

Can you point me to a more historically accurate record please? For the edification of myself and everyone I speak to condemning religious nationalism? I am sincerely trying to do good here

Am I mistaken in thinking the Sanhedrin was involved?

I feel like the Christians haven’t been loud enough, and now I’m stressed I’ll be sent to one of these labor prison camps
comment in response to

I’d particularly like to see Christians rebuke Christian Nationalism more publicly because they’re targeting me and my people for unlawful labor prison camps

Ur right I’ll use my Nahua ancestors as another example. Truly despicable things were done in those temples. In ur pov do u feel Pharisees largely rebuke Zionism or do some protect them like the situation with some Christians toward Christian Nationalists?

I fuck with that heavy. I think the canonical Christian gospels are patriarchal manipulation where the apocryphal gospels were more genuine. In fact if you have sources I’d like to read up on it

Can I criticize the Sanhedrin or the Sadducees without outraging my Jewish allies? Or are we pushing for the notion that Rome acted independently of the Sanhedrin?
comment in response to
post
So we’re saying that although the Sanhedrin was composed of Pharisees and Sadducees as the Supreme Court of Jesus’ era the Pharisees had nothing to do with it?
comment in response to
post
To be transparent I’ve always thought the canonical Christian gospels were patriarchal manipulation compared to the apocrypha

Since we’re on the subject, is the notion that Pilate washed his hands of the wishes of Sadducees to crucify the Nazarene to be understood as Christian propaganda and misinformation?
comment in response to
post
I see. So if I criticize religious nationalism citing the Sadducees like High Priest Caiaphas without mentioning Pharisees, can I say that without sparking outrage among my Jewish allies?

I’m glad we can all align on that.

The Sadducees wanted him dead and used their connection with Pilate to make it happen. Rome was polytheistic at the time and didn’t have the motive. Sadducees felt directly threatened

You’re correct in the strictest sense. Nonetheless it’s a precursor
