They might notice, but they certainly don’t care.

They just project all their failings on to ‘the other’, Everytime I hear magats going off how Biden is old and unfit I know Trump must have done something really done they feel the need to deflect and project. They are brainwashed into thinking admitting there is a problem is a sign of weakness, and any sign of weakness is an immediate disqualification, rather than a chance to improve.

Trump supporters are like modern day graea, but sharing only one brain cell between each other.

I think most Maga voters might prefer an ineffective president.

Yeah, pretty much everything one needs to know about what he’ll do as President is laid out by Project 2025. His ability to actually govern is secondary to the apparent desire for our own little christofascist Cultural Revolution. Wheeeeee

Is the question “why” really still a source of puzzlement to people? It’s a cult. Jesus is long dead, or probably never existed, so he’s even more “degenerated” than Trump, but that doesn’t seem to be a problem for his followers.

Jesus likely existed

What I find funny is scholars who analyzed The Bible have a TON of reason to believe Jesus was one of those, “THE END IS NIGH! IT IS COMING IN OUR LIFETIMES! THE END IS NIGH!” people which is

Fucking hilarious to imagine

have a TON of reason to believe Jesus was one of those,

What evidence is that? The fact that power doesn’t have any reason to execute people for simply predicting the end of the world?

Just going to take the opportunity to point out that broad (not universal) historical consensus is that Jesus of Nazareth existed, was baptised by John the Baptist, and was then crucified. It goes without saying that Jesus being the Son of God, Messiah etc. is not the broad consensus.

Is it though? It seems there is no evidence and that it is more politically correct to say that he existed.

It is. Furthermore, as an atheist, I don’t feel like believing in the existence of Jesus compromises my position any. On the contrary, I’ve confused a few less-informed Christians by telling them that I believe Jesus existed but I don’t believe he was divine.

Besides that, stories like the Nativity seem to pretty much just be myth.

By the same measure you could say the same thing about many other historical figures. There is enough historical documents that meet the same standards used by everyone to say that Jesus at least existed but thats pretty much it.
