Comment on The 10 Commandments apparently mentions absolutely nothing about protecting children from abuse.
over_clox@lemmy.world 1 week agoI never said Jesus never existed, but also I have no reason to believe he was any better or worse than any other innocent person murdered by the government of the time.
To obsess about one single person killed by corrupt government over 2000 years ago is to ignore the genocide going on today. ☹️

The significance of Jesus is the movement he spawned. I’m not talking about the Catholic church as it was codified by the Romans a few centuries after his death, but about the movement of Jesus which spread far and wide directly after he died. This movement flourished not by the blade and the authority of oppressive regimes, but because it simply spoke deeply to people, especially the poor and disenfranchised. This kind of thing only happened a handful of times during history.
He was important because he created a blueprint for resistance of the oppressed, in a time where such resistance was a very hard sell because it went so contrary to the norms and cultures.
