    on one hand if you take the character of jesus as an individual with opinions he was very based

    but on the other hand in the context of the bible - he is the incarnation-ish-thingy of the one who created and perpetuates a binary system of good and evil, and as a narcissistic judge, jury, and executioner to him being “good” includes in major part worshipping him and only him. which is not very based

    so i pick hell out of spite

      The Bible hits very different without commentary. Jesus is even more relevant, and more based, when you read it assuming he wasn’t magic

      Like when he hid wine in water barrels to keep the party going. Or when he convinced everyone to pool their lunches together to feed everyone. Or when his friend pretended to die and he facepalmed and was like “no he didn’t… Go get the idiot out”
