Some say the anti-Christ. Add in the middle east mess.

If there is an anti-christ, he would be a conservative republican. If
you think otherwise, I suggest you have someone explain the sermon on
the mount to you. Jesus would have little use for today's conservative
republicans, despite what they say about themselves.

I've always wondered which person Jesus would have screwed out of
their home.

The reality of Jesus is simple. Mary was his mother and not a virgin
either. Like Obama, he walked around touting verses and prophecies,
commandments and a religion...for money to people seeking hope and
guidance, not just indentured servitude. Sort of like a wandering
vagabond selling mouth for a place to stay before moving on to see more
of the world.

Leaders recognized the people followed him, and out of the need for
totalitarian control, nailed him up as an example. The going into a
cave and reemerging, just a good fantasy story.

Differences emerged in 640 over Jesus times were they were sick of being
slave. A similar character, not a prophet but a barbarian called
Mohammad decided to adapt the religion to include governance and
specific ways of daily life and thus began Islam to unify the peasant
people against invaders. Works pretty good to this day too as it is
marriage of state, family, law and fascism via passive resistance and
infiltration. Nice brainwashing. Which is really what religion is about.

Religion has for centuries been used by the powerful and sociopath
leaders to be a method of managing the herd. Nothing more. Man has so
screwed up religion it is just a huge fraud.

But religion is good for those that cannot cope with a wider universe,
larger realities and still think the universe rotates around Jerusalem.
Think, the Catholic church once thought the world was flat and
persecuted those who thought differently. Heritic one day, saint the
next. More like mafia gives money, sin for six and repent for one. A
homage tax for sin relief. Not much different for Islam, I get the
harem and the peasants support me in the name of Islam...

All about herd control.

You know nothing about faith and compassion, which is the essential
message of Jesus, Mohammad, the Buddha, etc.

Compassion or stupidity? Don't get them confused.
