I’m not sure how else you’d describe the strict orthodox religious sect that ratted him out or the oligarch governor of a continent spanning empire overseeing a conquered province who rubber stamped a state-managed torture and execution.
If Jesus were alive today, he’d be living in Guantanamo Bay.
“Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.”
Jesus - “He who is free of sin cast the first stone”
Republicans - “Is lying a sin?”
Jesus - “Yes!”
Republicans - “FAKE NEWS!!! JESUS IS A COMMUNIST TERRORIST!!!”
“He was a hero because he was crucified. I like people who weren’t crucified.”
I mean, the conservative law makers did execute Jesus…
the idea conservatives killed jesus - it’s a fun take.
Edit: Not saying its a wrong take, lol, just never thought about it that way

Are you trying to make a serious argument that the Pharisees were progressives?
They’ve replaced “thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor” with “the ends shall justify thy means”
“Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look!
