    Ask away, my man. Look at the rest of the thread because some of us are having some deep dives into the topic.

    In regards to the 12 year old boy, the people were complaining about hunger. Jesus gave a sermon saying we should share food.

    The 12 year old offered 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread, which was his paycheck, to a disciple. The disciple asked Jesus, “Wtf am I supposed to do with this?”

    “Disperse it.”

    5000 men, meaning 5000 families as children and women were being counted, ran to their pantries, inspired by the boy, to grab what they could find. Shit that was just sitting on the shelves that they didn’t have the rest of the ingredients to actually use it.

    It is a story of an impromptu potluck. The magic was only the words of Jesus and the generosity of that 12 year old boy.

    And everyone was fucking fed. That’s properly administrated socialism. Love your neighbor. Government doesn’t even need to be involved.

          I’d think survival would be inconsistent with the amount of time Lazarus was “dead”/needed cpr.

          I lean more towards Lazarus being misdiagnosed as dead and Jesus giving Lazarus the ol’ sternum tap to wake him up.

            I can agree with that.

            Look, I am saying that I agree with what Jesus taught, no question. But I don’t think he was a magic zombie man.

            And I do believe in God/Godhead, and I am not a hard physicalist.

            The miracle of Jesus is mostly that he helped people without asking for money, which the pharisees and sadducees were doing by order of the Roman empire, while additionally refusing to assist gentiles.

            And the J-Sauce was like, “fuck this stupid shit. And fuck the Romans and their self-perceived authority to deny the basic commandment: Love thy neighbor.”

            Jesus was punk as fuck. He refused to stand down, the Romans tried to twist the narrative so that his own supporters would be blamed, and made an example of.

            But that holy spirit should die. Hence, fuck ICE. I will happily die to defend my neighbor, without using any force. Just an example.

            But if you strike me first, well, I will take action to stop you from doing it again. Pacifism is not submission.
