There is a non-zero chance that the second coming of Jesus DID happen, but it happened in rural America and he got killed by fascists again.

The goal of Christianity is to convince Indo-Europeans that they have a divine right to use the entire world and universe as their frontier for the endless pursuit of personal sovereignty. It's a scam to convince a large portion of the population that they're in on being a "chosen one" so they'll coerce themselves into expanding the tax base of whatever the major empire of the time is.
Wasn't Judas the 13th disciple?
No, he was one of the twelve disciples.
Imagine being Steven Crowder right now.
These Nazis are truly disgusting.
Let them write another fantasy book
I can only dream Christianity to have stopped at 12 people!
...I mean, Judas was a disciple too if you believe in that kind of thing. Not high praise or anything.

In that the allegorical Jesus intentionally associated with the grimier undercurrent of the time and place he was stuck in? Sure. In a way, I guess. Kirk was grime incarnate, in many ways.
In literally any other way that accounts for meaningful context? Lol. No.
He very vocally stood for just about everything that Christ stood against, and anyone with the most miniscule reading comprehension and attention span can see that.
It's a real shame that this awesome planet has such a bad case of human infestation. Keeping to the religious theme, we have more than enough resources and know-how to turn this world into an actualized garden of eden. There's just no money in feeding the poor and genuinely taking care of our kin. Causing problems oftentimes makes more money than solving them, unfortunately. So instead, we're having this stupid-ass, pointless, needless dialogue as the money-machine that has damned us all continues to do it's damndest to see to it that we take this could-be paradise and turn it into an actual, tangible hell.
If we are not all cooked to raw carbon by 50 years from now, I will gladly eat my own foot.
At what point are they just trolling and taking our attention away from what matters when voting
Hear me out in this one, if by disciple they mean Peter who cut off a Romans ear, or Judas who sold out Jesus, or Thomas who doubted Jesus return, then yeah I get it.
