He made my auntie Rose a nice cabinet. Chestnut I believe it was.

One of the greatest con artists of all time. Show some respect, people.

Nah.

Joseph Smith who founded Mormonism made Jesus look like a rank amateur. Smith knew exactly what he was after - money and sex - and ended up with his followers tithing 10% of their incomes to him, and with about 50 young 'wives'. He was the master con artist. The only other one that might be almost as good was L. Ron Hubbard. Mind you, both Jesus and Smith ended up getting lynched by the mob. Hubbard died of old age, and very rich, which might put him on top of the list.

Jesus has had bigger ripple effects (many more followers), but I may be giving him too much credit - he lived 1800-1900+ years before those other two.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

But he smote. Oh, how he smoted.

Actually, apart from one temper tantrum against money lenders in the temple, I don't think he did. He was what Seth calls a sheeple.

Fig tree. Various demons. He made Satan back off.

We don't know Jesus didn't do these things or what he was after. We don't actually know fuck all about him.

Given what we know of cult leaders today it wouldn't surprise me if he took young girls in for private talks and took sexual advantage, probably with arrogance in full knowledge of their parents who acted in denial.

Well yeah.
That's what they say!


I am sure you don't believe a word of it. He was just a wuss, really.

I don't know if he was a wuss, those days you had to be ready to fight if the occasion demanded it.

I think he was a bit of a loon. The earliest gospel, Mark, before the really serious embellishments come into it, Jesus' disciples and family don't understand him and at one stage Mary and his brothers try to take him away before he got himself into trouble. If it were nowadays they'd probably sign him in.

It's even worse than most myths. They stick in all kinds of predictions which come true. Then they put together Jesus. Then they put together a Roman gay dude, Paul, to be the missionary and biographer. Only he was fake too. But it is curious he did not know the later made up Gospels, so there may be a grain of truth to this Paul dude.

That's an excellent point. How did they make their money though?

They sold meth.

They called it Myrrh in those days. The whole family got hooked by 3 wise dudes from the east very early on...

Strong enough to wake the dead?

Jesus saves.
