This type of stuff absolutely blows my mind when it comes to religion. Thousands of years ago, some guy basically wrote “hey dudes, don’t fuck kids.” Then several thousand years later that sentence was rewritten, translated, and misinterpreted - and now we have millions of people who think gay people shouldn’t exist.
One of my favorite facts about what you just described is that “Christ” in Jesus’ name isn’t his last name but instead essentially means “the annointed”. Annointing is a religious practice in which a holy figure puts oil on you. And the name “Jesus” can be translated throughout the ages to basically be equivalent to the name “Joshua” in today’s English. So “Jesus Christ” today is basically “Oily Josh” lol

I agree, almost like an almighty god who created everything, couldn’t tell the future or didn’t care.
