The church in -1AD: “Jesus is a threat to our society! We have to do something about him.”
The church in 1AD: “What an amazing person Jesus was, join us in singing songs about him.”
It’s easy to praise a revolutionary mind after they’re no longer a threat to your status quo.
I don't think you paid attention in religion classes lmao
dates were wrong, but heart's in the right place.
Dates and name is wrong, a Jewish temple has never been called a church.
-1AD? So 1BC, which is before jesus was born? Do you mean ~33AD and ~34AD? Also, the church would not have been condemning Jesus as it was established after his death. You might be thinking of a Synagogue and pre-Christian Judaiism.
C'mon bro you know they mean the state-sanctioned religion before and after Jesus.
Still, you'd have to wait until ~300 AD for Christianity to become popular with the state
Christians were heavily persecuted until around 312 with Emperor Constantine. Next time, if they want to say that, they should instead of saying it wrong in a roundabout way.
You seem fun
Thank you
I'm disappointed in the community note. You'd think they'd have learned the thing most high school seniors do/did. Don't quote the Wikipedia article. Instead, quote the reference in the Wikipedia article. Much stronger of an argument.
Wikipedia editor here; there's some nuance. This article is listed as a Good Article, meaning it's been reviewed by another (almost certainly) experienced editor for verifiability, prose and style, coverage, neutrality, stability, etc. This was attained in 2013, and especially for such a prominent article, slipping below those standards is a recipe to get GA status revoked. Presumably this note is summarizing a large portion of coverage by Wikipedia and thus a variety of sources. You want to read and cite all of the sources rather than Wikipedia in something like a research paper, but for just a community note, there's really nothing wrong with this.
I believe there are limited sources that are valid on community notes, including Wikipedia
Also, his family doesn't just believe that the FBI was involved in his death. They provided convincing enough evidence for a judge to rule in court that the US government was responsible for MLK's death.
"And then we'll name a bunch of streets after him, but the streets will all be in bad neighborhoods. Tee hee."

Brandon Herrera on YouTube made a great video recreating the shots that killed him to test if it was legit.
Readers added context?
