So this is the X post I want to talk about. I will include the link and then actually copy the text directly. It is from the creator @FromKulak and it was timestamped in my time (British): April 6th 2025, 04:19 am:

The disgusting thing is when a father goes on TV to forgive the unapologetic murderer of his son He is doing what Christ did.
Christ forgave his killers MID-ACT
“Forgive them father they know not what they do”
So this father did It is An evil morality from an evil religion
And there’s no way to rescue it. The final act of the christian messiah was to forgive killers even as they were committing the murder against him.
What would Jesus do? Die without a fight or even a harsh word, which no descendants succeeding. That is the example christianity commands you to follow.
Either jesus lived wrongly and it is not an example to follow, in which case it is a wrong religion and he was not the Messiah.
Or it is an example you’re supposed to follow in which case it is an evil religion and even if its god does exist it’d be better to live in hatred and spite of him and accept any damnation in the name of the survival and existence of your children and future descendants rather than let your family and people die out for obedience to an evil Jewish God’s threats and promises.
My faith
It's a good point. It's the kind of post I would like to read directly to 'normal' Christians.
I am 'kind of' Christian. In that, I do do things like Communion and identify myself on that kind of spiritual path. But I have questions. I am not one of the kinds of Christians that other Christians like being around and I am banned from my local church. As you might see from this post I have a lot of questions that the kind of people that go to church would ostracise for even asking.
EVEN SO though. Even though normal Christians do not like me asking basic questions; and my perspective has continued to become more unusual to traditional teachings. A lot of what Christianity teaches cannot be denied and has to be addressed. Such as the statement on the cross 'Forgive them for they know not what they do'. And the lords Prayer: 'Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors'.
The reason I ended up going down this route, was partly because as certain demonic influences invaded my mind as relating to a schizophrenic break, Christianity shone for me as a benefit and protection against such influences. Also, following on from the Law of One, the battle in the heavens between the various positive and negative entities being reflected through us humans, is a part of the cosmology that I see as accurate. There aren't many other belief systems where this is reflected with this same accuracy.
The Wheel of Time.
This is going to contain spoilers but, light ones, only 'x happened in y scene' not the reason it happened. But I was recently watching the most recent episode of the Wheel of Time. When I first started watching it there were a lot of themes that I thought were going to move out into a girl power fantasy. The men in the wheel of time can generally not use magic. It is a magical world this show is set in. Men go mad if they use magic.
I recall another series with female witches and male protectors where the men were there purely as boy toys for the women to obsess over sexually. But the Wheel of Time is not like that. It comes very close, but it has set up a mythical world that is satisfying and not bizarre in that way.
It is a good show with solid depth and character development. Perhaps one of my favourites. I said that men can't use magic in the Wheel of Time and there are some exceptions. There is one particular who is a kind of Jesus figure of the series. He is 'the dragon reborn'. A person that can use magical power in a war like frame, that can save the people of that universe from the various demonic influences plaguing it.
The first two seasons are interesting but a little dull. They have fun moments but the show is not interesting from episode to episode like many shows. There is too much depth. It is too childish in some ways. But once there is enough back story and things get going, season 3 is utterly fantastic. There is something satisfying with all these very arrogant witches in some sort of chamber for more female politics, then descending into one of the most violent scenes I have ever seen in TV at the beginning of season 3. The show really makes magic feel alive in a very visceral way.
Anyway, at the end of the last episode I saw, the dragon character Rand, is up against it. A figure with heavy magical power comes to attack him and even though he uses magic as little as possible. He is cornered, it is now do or die, and this character comes out with his magic power that is beyond anything seen in the series previously. It was probably AI generated imagery for the magic because it is next level animation. He simply plays with the magic, powerfully focused on playing around with it, and as though an afterthought, the previous attacker was hit by some sort of lightning from it. The attacker immediately dies, but with the magic this is not even significant. There is no emotional impact to that characters death he is just wiped away with the tide.
It was a powerful, beautiful scene made all the more powerful because we had not seen any use of magical power by Rands character since the end of season 2.
The reason I bring this up is because in that moment, something struck me. A lot of mythology in a lot of these series is a play on the Jesus concept. The way it is often expressed is that a character is so positive and full of magic power that he does not need to oppose anyone. Think of Jacks character from Supernatural. He is clearly a play on Jesus. He has a lovingness to him, he is a healer and the way the show animates his powers is very angelic, and by the end when he ascends to a kind of God he is a being of pure compassion.
Rands character is not like that. The show shows his internal war with his own powers. He uses it only when he has to and he cannot heal with it. He can only destroy.
Magical power.
Part of the reason I bring this up, I feel the mythology of the show is well done enough that this is inspiring. The moment when I realised emotionally the character was not a Jesus mythology, but something else was powerful. It did feel more inspiring than the Jesus story as it is told.
In my personal life I have rarely seen a lot of wisdom in being forgiving to people that are unproductive and destructive.
But it also brings in an element to the situation that is relevant, Magical Power. When we talk about Jesus in this philosophical sense. We do not include magical power.
Consider this line from the Law of One:
17:17:
Ra: I am Ra. We may describe in general what occurred. The
technique was that of building upon other negatively oriented
information. This information had been given by the one whom your
peoples called “Yahweh.” This information involved many strictures upon
behavior and promised power of the third-density, service-to-self
nature. These two types of distortions were impressed upon those already
oriented to think these thought-forms.
This eventually led to
many challenges of the entity known as Jesus. It eventually led to one,
sound vibration complex “Judas,” as you call this entity, who believed
that it was doing the appropriate thing in bringing about or forcing
upon the one you call Jesus the necessity for bringing in the
third-density planetary power distortion of third-density rule over
others.
This entity, Judas, felt that, if pushed into a corner,
the entity you call Jesus would then be able to see the wisdom of using
the power of intelligent infinity in order to rule others. The one you
call Judas was mistaken in this estimation of the reaction of the
entity, Jesus, whose teach/learning was not oriented towards this
distortion. This resulted in the destruction of the bodily complex of
the one known as Jesus to you.
This adds in the concept of magical power. The point here, as I understand it, is that Christ had the ability to turn the entire scene into something from a hellraiser film.
To add in real magical power as a concept, it might change the situation significantly. For instance, if Jesus had then decided 'yes, enough of this' and had turned his mind in anger towards all that were watching him be crucified. Then what other effects are there from this?
The Law of One is making the point here that, as I understand it, if Jesus was to have turned towards violence, he would be doing the will of the negative beings that were trying to push him towards this. Had he killed everyone watching, would Rome then have sent armies? Would he have been forced to kill the entire Roman army? The armies of the entire planet?
While this makes a case for non violence, it is not the end of my case here. There is still a philosophy to contend with, and there are other questions brought up by this post on X. Other indirect questions about following the philosophy of Christianity in general.
I want to discuss the work of Aaron Abke and his references to biblical histories not acknowledged by the modern church. Such as the burning of the temple in 70AD, the politicising of Christianity, the influence of "The Apostle Paul" on the situation, and the schisms immediately following Christs death among Jesus's followers. Also I would like to bring in the work of Paul Wallis, who talks about how a lot of the bible was deliberately mistranslated. I.e. the words Elohim and Yahweh interchangeably meaning "God" when neither does, in fact, mean God.
I also might bring in the work of Stefan Molyneux and his perspective (i.e. philosophy in general). Also, the Law of One, as already quoted, might be brought in for context. After I have taken these different axes to Christianity, it might be an interesting question of what is actually left. A LOT of Christianity is simply the strategic creation of the Romans for various war based and political aims.
For instance, Jesus probably did not eat fish (The Essenes, the sect he belonged to, were vegetarians!) and the loaves and fish story was probably added in later because vegetarianism was catastrophic for Romes economy. When early church fathers mentioned this event in their letters, they only mentioned the loaves, not the fish.
Being a vegetarian and part of the Essenes probably accentuates Jesus' association with non violence, rather than arguing against it. But I have it mapped out in my head the argument I want to make about this.
