      Well people said if he comes back he’s going to slaughter all of us, maybe making him afraid to come back is the point? Haha

      It’s not like all humankind suffers and he is a relatable representation of our own suffering. Kind of like Iron Man or other heroes.

        Look, if they did that to Jesus they will do the same or worse to you without batting an eye.

        Well, Iron Man was crucified for our sins.

        As was James T. Kirk.

          Iron Man had the best last words of the three.

    There’s a sci-fi book series called Hyperion where one of the main fucuses of the far-future theocratic government is to search for signs and symbolism of Jesus on other planets. Since if you find an alien species worshipping Jesus or using cross symbolism, you’ve all but proven that God exists.

      You will prove that one god exists?

      Or even less, you will prove that someone with god-like powers exists?

      Or even less, you will prove tat we live in a simulation written by some christian sect.

      Will be reading this if you think it’s worth it.

      I’m a huge fan of classic sci-fi (Asimov, Heinlein). How does it hold up?

      And before someone eats me alive about Heinlein, I’ve heard it all. Been a fan since I was a kid and the ideological side of it doesn’t matter to me as much as the stories these days. I’m an atheist because of authors like him. I wouldn’t take it back for anything.

        It’s like The Canterbury Tales in space. It’s four books, but the first one stands on its own.

        The first book is phenomenal. The others are good, but not necessarily “must read”

        If you like old school scifi you’ll probably like it. It’s a grand opera. Prolog to the first book is online here:

      Yes, but only because he knew our nature, and still wanted to love and forgive us, despite being quite unforgivable.

        Sure. That fucker wants to forgive us and he gets a pass. I want to love and forgive everyone and I wind up with a life sentence for murdering my son.

          That’s your mistake.

          You set up a situation in which he will end up being murdered by others.
