White supremacists use the Bible to justify their racism.

Problem is, there are no white people in the Bible.
.... maybe, the Roman soldier who pierced Jesus side when he was helpless, defenceless.

Roman soldiers came from all over the Empire in a backwater like Judea, they weren't likely from Rome.

Saxons? Britons? Gauls? Dacian? Thracian?

Jesus wasn't "meek and mild." He wasn't a mascot for the conservative political/religious party of his day. He was a freaking rabble-rouser, a social justice warrior. That's why the Romans executed him at the request of the Sannehedrin. They didn't have time for his shit. He threw the moneychangers out of the temple in a fit of righteous indignation. He told the religious leaders, the Franklin Grahams and Jerry Fallwells of his day, that they were a generation of snakes and that their souls were like whitewashed tombs full of dead men's bones, attractive on the outside but full of rot and decay. He fed the hungry and hung out with drunks and prostitutes.
Jesus was dangerously loving and a tremendous threat to the conservative institutions of his time. His true teachings are always revolutionary and always threatening to the status quo. That's why we never hear them anymore.

When did they make the 180 degree turn?
when they found out they needed votes.

they were also pro choice right up until they figured out they could get some votes by being anti abortion.

the courting of the deplorables predates trump.

Actually, they do, that’s why they are called Christians.


Actually, they don't. They only think they know. And what people read about Jesus varies depending on the type of Christianity you follow.



What was written about Jesus came years after his death.


If you trust those same people to be truthful about Jesus' life, I've a bridge to sell you and a million dollars to give away, first come, first served.

Don't forget all of the other gospels that were suppressed by the Roman/Imperium (that became the Roman Catholic Church). They dumbed down the sacred texts of Christianity at Nicea for their own political gain.

If you actually know what 666 means than you could, like I do, do longitude without a chronometer.

Christians will NEVER get it: jesus christ = rich jests us.

666 actually, if you know the equation, also contains the circumference of the planet in Knots.
( it isn't in the book, I had to realize how this works for myself)
;)
but noe...that would actually add up to something real and ewe can't have that.

Actually, you are dead wrong cliffy, but there is no point in explaining it to you, THAT would be a complete waste of time.
;)
