Religion Story of Jesus Christ was 'fabricated to pacify the poor', claims controversial Biblical scholar

It wouldn't surprise me.

 

When we consider what Santa Claus does every year: Traveling 122 million miles in one night at roughly 1,500 miles per second. He does this on a magical flying sleight that carries well over 200 million presents and weights approximately 1,232,300 metric tones and which is pulled by only 8 reindeer, to which he's given the power of flight at 320 times the speed of sound. Under highly stressful conditions he has to map out the quickest route between 75 million homes while knowing which kids are naughty and nice within each house. To further complicate things, thousands of kids move from the nice list to the naught list, and vice versa, every hour. A single mistake could cause childhood trauma. And that doesn't factor in having cookies and milk millions of times that night, kissing approximately 300,000 moms under the mistletoe and climbing in and out of millions of chimneys, many of which have chimney caps. And he does all this while being a fat ass.

When we measure that up against Jesus, who's big accomplishment is being resurrected (only once I might add), I give the nod to Santa 10 times out of 10. He's who we should really be worshipping.

 

I had the theory myself early in the faith. But there are verses that show there is a righteous anger and a time for rebelion as well. You should be humble, but not a pushover. Jesus allowed them to crucify him because it was a required ritual to cleanse sin. He fulfilled the levitical ritual laid out in the old testiment substituting himself for the unblemeshed lamb.

It is important to remember jesus flipped the tables of the merchants in front of the temple.

 

It's not like Jesus' Story hasn't been told before. It's been told many times.

 

Yeah... I told my son the truth...

 

That Santa is actually Odin?

 

Haha!

No, that there's no such thing as a creepy old man sneaking into people's houses, eating their food, bringing "presents".

MF, I'm Santa.

 

Supposed to really look like this:

 

The thing about religion is that if you go back and look at how religion was used to control the populace for thousands of years, it makes you wonder why this particular religion is supposed to be the real one and not just another example of corrupt men preying on the poor and the weak.

The Greeks...

The Romans...

The Egyptians...

The Aztecs...

Some pretty major civilizations had their own religions that were used to pacify and control the people, and if you look at how Christianity was used by the Catholics, with the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition, and then the Church of England.... plenty of examples to demonstrate how this religion was used in the same way.

 

Maannnn.... We ain't comin' down NOBODY'S chimney... Jussayin.
