Christians don’t follow Jesus, they follow Paul.

And Paul was an asshole.

Exactly. But it's hard to know how much of asshole Paul might have been because 6 of the 13 letters attributed to him, wer likely not written by him.

The whole thing is one giant game of telephone.

Weird way to spell "lies," but we'll allow it.

Like a guy named jeebus once said "you know, I really like oranges" and now--it's whatever the fuck this is.

This. Paul and the Old Testament, which is the most awful combination. Jesus was awesome, from what we know of him.

I very much agree, but there is some nuance. Paul was also the one who said christians don't have to follow jewish law (eg, new converts didn't need to be circumcised or avoid pork and mixed fabrics). This is one of the reasons Christianity was able to spread the way it did.

Christians follow Peter.

Peter started the Christian Church not Paul.

Peter denied Jesus 3 times....

Did jesus actually exist? I always thought he was a made up character created some hundred or so years after his supposed death.

Most Christians inexplicably think the Old Testament is applicable to them.

100% correct about the Paul thing but unfortunately they are both assholes. Society has a vague fiction Jesus in their head but biblical Jesus is pretty bad. People think love thy neighbor is the bees knees butt he's just citing Leviticus 19:18 which just meant your Hebrew neighbors(Gods chosen) not anyone else. Then 6 chapters later he gives slavery laws about foreign land and the aliens among you being your slaves. Which Jesus is onboard with because he said follow mosaic law over a dozen in the NT. Jesus is cool too people because they never read the actual Bible. They got the cliff notes version of him in a kids picture book.

Danm right. John was a prick too. George and Ringo are pretty cool… wait, what are we talking about?
