Did #JesusChrist actually exist?
Was #Jesus a Real #Historical Person?

Or is he a #theological construct that emerged over time? In this in-depth video, we explore the controversial arguments of #RichardCarrier as presented in his 2025 book The Obsolete Paradigm of a #HistoricalJesus. This episode critically examines early #Christian texts, #nonChristian historical sources, and the use of #Bayesian probability to reassess one of #history’s most debated questions.

This will cause unrest — and so it should! Freedom of #religion means #Christians are free to #worship, but NOT to impose their views.

I am a #NonChristian who would be very upset if my child was programmed in school, by Christians!

You respect my #beliefs; I'll respect yours. 👍

“Atheists and anyone else who doesn’t believe in the Christian God are shut out of a vital role in elections. That’s not just bureaucratic oversight. That’s an unconstitutional relic of Christian arrogance.

“There’s no good reason to force people to pledge an oath to God if they want to manage elections. It’s discriminatory and a betrayal of the very Constitution these officials claim to defend. No one should be forcing citizens to invoke a deity as a condition of public service.”

Marco Rubio's hunt for "#AntiChristian bias" is creeping #theocracy

In a new war on federal workers, State Department employees are told to snitch on people with #Pride flags

Excerpt: "Unsurprisingly, a deeper read of the cable shows that 'anti-Christian bias' is the cover story propped up to justify Rubio's actual assault on freedom of religion at State. He's giving Christian nationalists at the agency a tool to harass and even Rpurge people who don't share their #FarRight beliefs. The definitions of 'anti-Christian bias' throughout add up to outrage that conservative Christians are expected to treat people who believe differently with fairness and decency.

"For instance, the memo asks for reports of 'mistreatment for opposing displays of flags, banners or other paraphernalia,' specifically during Joe Biden's administration. It doesn't take a doctorate in bureaucratese to interpret this. Rubio is seeking stories where conservative Christians were told to mind their own business after objecting to a colleague putting up a #PrideFlag, a #BlackLivesMatter sign or perhaps a religious knickknack from a #NonChristian faith. This might be more comprehensible if, say, any Christians had being told they couldn't wear a cross or have a picture of Jesus on their desk. Instead, what Rubio is suggesting is that Christians have [the right to] prevent other people from having the freedom to express views and positions they dislike — and that it amounts to 'bias' if they can't control what others do or say.

@LeatherCubAndrew Oh hey, my former coven was all about fighting back. They started a group -- the #ThomasMortonAlliance -- which allied with other radical groups (like #EarthFirst). The time has come for alliances to happen again. And for us all to learn how to fight back. #Pagans and #witches (and anyone #NonChristian) have targets on our backs as much as everyone else. We need to fight for #MotherEarth. All of us!!!
