Yep. Only BEGOTTEN son, not only son. What do the children of God grow up to be? The Bible says we will judge angels.
So awesome....makes me wish Christianity was real, or at least that churches talked more about the really cool parts of the Bible.

Guys! Guys! We have no reliable evidence on Jesus on which to base a diagnosis.

All we have are stories told mostly by people who lived 50 years or more after Jesus died.

I think Jesus was born from a whore. And that is why he is spiritual, not inspite of. That is his (and God's) core message. If I can transcend my ego (petty concerns) why can't you?!
Unfortunately, his message was co opted by the elite. And they could never accept a message from the son of a whore. Ironically, because they wanted to elevate Jesus, they degraded him and made him mundane into something even a fundamentalist can understand.
Evil bad. Good =good!

Does that mean Jesus could count cards?

Still, there is enough there to admit the possibility that a man named Jesus was born in Bethlehem to parents from Nazareth; that later in life he preached a message of goodwill and fellowship, but mouthed off once too often against the Religious Establishment; they in turn framed him on false charges, and convinced the Occupying Forces to make an example of Him.


Most [critical scholars agree that Bethlehem bit was fabricated and you can actually see in the Bible that this seems to be the case. But yes, it's very likely that Jesus was real and he hailed from Nazareth.

There are many writer's that are not particularly expression-full, outside of their written words.

Whether or not the 'man' Jesus was autistic or not, it is very possible that the persons who wrote the story were on a broader autism phenotype.

The Catholic Church is full of people who are not particularly interested in 'breeding'.

This influences Christianity greatly, not only in the written word, but in artistic representations of Jesus as a bearded lady.

They are too numerous to count.

If the people who were in control of the New Testament were of patriarchal nature, it is highly unlikely that story would have stayed intact.

One can thank the Catholic church and its 'celibacy' rules for part of that.

It does not attract breeders.

People who do not breed have to find something else to keep themselves occupied with.

A special interest can be writing a book.

I score 195 on the Aspie Quiz and wrote this:

The bible, more or less, is an Algorithm of recorded thoughts.

It does not require overt emotional expression to make that happen. I have come across some extreme broader autism priests in my life. One of which was my grandfather, for part of his life.

Chances are Jesus never fully happened, but it is meaningless, as the only important thing is language, and 'catchy' words and symbols to capture a 'target' Audience.

It is a good thing that Military Leaders did not the write the book.


All human language like everything else

is an expression of the Universe in whole.

Distance is an illusion.

And so is

time.
