There is no doubt in my mind that if Jesus were to return, right wing Christians would be at the front of the line to crucify him again.
@LiberalLibrarian A brown, bearded middle Eastern man, in a robe, making trouble for the religiopolitical powers-that-be and advocating for the poor?
I'm convinced that if they found his body they would crucify THAT.
@aspecurian Dostoevsky was a vile antisemite. But he got "Christians" right in the Grand Inquisitor segment of The Brothers Karamazov.
@aspecurian If only he had done that when he was penniless in Vienna...
@LiberalLibrarian You ever see the Beavis and Butt-Head Christmas special where the angel tries to convince Butt-Head that the world would be a better place if he had never been born?
That, but me with a time machine and a fire axe.
@LiberalLibrarian Of course the issue is that we would also be ridding the world of his ineptitude, megalomania and syphilitic dementia, which were huge factors in winning the war. Who can say what would have happened had they had a competent leader?
@LiberalLibrarian It's between Karamazov and Life of Brian IMO.
@LiberalLibrarian Goes to show you that even the vilest turd can conceal bits of golden corn.
Hitler, for example. Was he one of the most vile quasi-human entities to stain the earth with his presence? Yes.
But you have to give him credit for getting one thing right: Motherfucker killed Hitler.
