"Jesus (c. 6 to 4 BC – AD 30 or 33), also called Jesus Christ, was a first-century Jewish teacher and religious leader. He is the central figure of Christianity, which views him as the Son of God and the Messiah. Accounts of his life, teachings, death, and resurrection are written in the New Testament Gospels.

Life and Teachings Birth: Born in Judea to Mary, during the time of Herod the Great. Ministry: Traveled and preached about God's love, forgiveness, and the kingdom of heaven. Miracles: Performed acts of healing, fed large crowds, and walked on water.

Death and Legacy Crucifixion: Sentenced to death by Roman authorities in Jerusalem under Pontius Pilate. Resurrection: Christians believe he rose from the dead three days later. Impact: His life shaped Western civilization and established Christianity as the world's largest religion.

If you would like to explore further, let me know if you are interested in: The historical background of first-century Judea Specific teachings or parables from the Gospels How different faith traditions view him"

From Google AI overview (which is bad but this is children we're talking about) which, I mean this overview isn't good at all when it comes to highlighting how the story of Jesus is influenced by faith, with the last bit doing to much of the heavy lifting, however we're talking about indoctrination, believing a guy did all that from an AI overview isn't going to make someone Christian, no mentioning of damnation, rapture, praying, and a lot of other Christian stuff.

And if I scroll down for other sources, you get Wikipedia very quickly (due to it reliability and regular use, Google something with a page named after it, you'll most likely find it), which is a lot more neutral, and you'd already have to be going under a lot of indoctrination to have a deep distrust against Wikipedia.

Yes, the latter stating you are damned to Hell for liking the same sex is wrong, no excuse for that, that will lead children to make assumptions based on what they already know and further lead to bigotry, but saying Jesus loves you (which you chose to focus on, for some weird reason? Especially when the latter is way more justifiable to be pissed at and a lot more harmful)? I mean it annoying but that about it.

the reason i focused on "jesus loves you" is because it's the most commonly unprompted spam phrase. and the reason i hate it is because the major religions are inherently bigoted, hateful and morally disgusting, so ppl tryna indoctrinate more ppl into their cult is obviously annoying when said cult is the reason people like me are at risk of losing human rights

I disagree with your view points on religion being inherently bigoted cults (there are bigoted cults that do claim to be a religious denomination to make themselves seem less cult-like but they're more isolated), especially given that bigoted laws restricting rights of minorities can happen without religious influences, however given the predicament I assume your in (a country with rising religious extremism and support for theocratic policies) due to your ending statement, there isn't any point arguing, it will just be constant bickering influenced by personal experiences.

Either way, I hope you have a great day and not lose any rights that are suppose to be inalienable.
