    Did Jesus also commit adultery with a porn star, use campaign funds to hush it up and then lie about it?

    Or does the analogy not carry that far?

      If you believe that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute, then I think Jesus would have been cool with a porn star. That said, adultery and embezzlement/theft were things he was definitely not cool with.

      PS: There is a Christian conspiracy theory that postulates that Mary Magdalene was Jesus’ lover or a very important figure in the fight against the establishment, but because that lessened the mythology of Jesus and empowered women, she was edited to be a removed that Jesus rescues rather than a woman he admired.

            Right you are! Only drop the Saint. The Gnostics believed in self-actualization not in divine intervention.

              Yes but he’s typically referring to as St. Thomas or Doubting Thomas.

                  What does that have to do with anything? It’s meant as a clarification. Catholics don’t believe that the book was actually written by him either.

        I read “embezzlement” in your comment and for some reason, my brain shouted “enshizzlement” instead. Not sure what it’s trying to tell me.
