he called his dad and confessed. his dad advised him to turn himself in. he said he’d rather commit suicide. his dad called his youth pastor to talk him down, who called the US marshals to secure him. I feel bad for the dad… that’s got to be a genuinely horrible situation to navigate.
Not the dude in the Bible, because the things he’s supposed to have done are impossible. So probably there was some dude that did or said some things and then got a bunch of folklore attached to him. A certain amount of the jesus story comes from contemporaneous myths - IIRC, a virgin birth was a common one.

Yeah. Likely Osiris. Almost all of the Jesus stories are taken from earlier solar deity “myths” and put into 1CE Judea. Like a graduate school production of Richard III in space with cigarettes.
Jesus wouldn’t narc on you, but he might tell you to surrender yourself to police. no murder is one of the Ten Commandments. this is how Catholic confession works, at least (I am not Catholic.)
I suspect the kid consented to the pastor calling the marshals, after deciding to turn himself in. otherwise how would they know where to find him that quickly?
I’m Catholic. When I was a kid I had to go to confessional and like most Catholic kids we just made shit up cause I mean come on, no kid is keeping tally of all the stuff they’ve done. So we’d just lie to the priest and try to one up each other with “stuff we did”. The priest never told our parents or teachers.

Youth pastor calling the marshals man. Cold.
Would Jesus narc on you? Friend, he would not. Mostly because he didn’t exist but still. As a character that is not consistent.
Jesus did actually exist. He was like a guy that was really there at some point

FTFY
So does the youth pastor get the reward tax free?
I didn’t even consider the reward. I wonder if the dad will get it.
“How’d you get rich”. I raised my son wrong

From the pastor calling them in hushed tones from the back room?
I dunno. Agree its a terrible situation.

And it was always “three Hail Marys and a Glory Be” and you’re golden. What a weird ritual.
