    Sure, but where’s the evidence thst jesus ever preached the sermon on the mount, or that the Roman empire adopted his philosophy…

      Who was it, then?! Regardless, whoever that person was preached things in that category, because those words stand by themselves and have that character by themselves, it just happened to have come from Jesus at that time (and others throughout history, ofc). If you disagree with the Sermon on the Mount, that’s a different story, but I’m not making an argument of authority here.

      Also, what? What do you think the “Roman Catholic Church” means? Or the Vatican being in Rome? Constantine the Great?! This is just basic history. 😅

        You’re the one that rejects Paul, ie, the earliest Christian writings that exist.

        Clearly you want to pick and choose scripture.

        I fail to see anything amazing in the sermon on the mount to be honest…

          Paul, the “faith without works”, “just believe Jesus = God and you’ll be saved” guy? That’s your point of reference? Even in its nonsense, Paul without Jesus is nothing, but here you are saying “how do you know Jesus was that guy?” And the Sermon on the Mount is basically the ideological basis and the soul of everything good in Christianity! And you gotta pick and choose, because of corruption and obvious nonsense. What makes sense stands by itself, what doesn’t doesn’t, and when we meet God (I assume you believe in that at least…) we’ll explain ourselves. Also, much of scripture is just letters from one group or dude to another, like by their own admission not “the word of God”. It can make sense, it cannot, what was kept in the Bible can be gold and it can also be shit.

          You’re very confused, both about the world and in your internal belief system, it’s completely incoherent, but to you your system and to me mine, I guess. 🤷

            Of course I don’t believe in your god.

            Its a nonsense creature that you can’t even justify.

            I wish you could see that.

            Your faithis nonsense, and the sooner you can break free from the lies the better off you’ll be.

              “My” God? 🤔 And here I thought you were religious, lol. Well, to each their own, as long as you’re righteous we can have some disagreements and live together in peace regardless! 👍
