I agree it's all made up. I treat it as if it's Lord of the Rings. When i say "Jesus actually said this", it's as if I'm saying "Gandalf actually said this, in The Two Towers".

y’all didn’t learn any history about the bible or historical religious texts and it shows.

christian or not, religious or not, the bible is one of the most irrefutable pieces of historical evidence we have. period. the religious things and callings you can leave out if you aren’t christian, that’s fine. but jesus was 100% a person and what he said is difficult if not impossible to argue existence over. doesn’t mean you have to believe in what he claimed, but he existed. and that’s just history.

Maybe don't direct this at the person in the thread who's showing the most sympathy to Christianity. Maybe direct this message at the other people who are directly attacking it.
