"So long as them there liberals, blacks, gays, "feminazi's" get their come uppence, and kept in their place, then all is well in their universe, even if it means taking a hit themselves." You said a world there, but I don't think they see the part where it's harm to themselves. Weird internalization of "zero-sum" fantasy. The religious context is so scrummed up with essential "authoritarian" nature. Poor Jesus.
Here's the cynic, if I offend your beliefs, I'm sorry, but religions, all of them, were created by men for the purpose of controlling other men. For instance. Mike Johnson is a dweeb, he has no personal authority, however he uses his god as a sock puppet, to create a world or society, that is safe for his insecure ass. There is aa good book on the subject alas out of print
Every dictator, every Emperor ever has used the sock puppet god (in different names) from Ahkenaton to HAMAS, as their authority, after all who can doubt the word of god, without being a heretic, an infidel and suffering the penalty of such
As regards this Jesus. There is the opinion, that some Hebrew priests, realizing that they could not overthrow Rome by force, came up with the idea to destroy it from within, and thus cooked up a subversive scheme to rot the Roman Empire from within by promoting pacificsm, and they set about proselytizing their ideology in the market places of the Roman Empire, It worked well enough for a legion commander, vying for control of the Empire by the name of Constantine, to see it's usefulness as a tool of control, and made it the official religion of his empire, after his victory over the competition at the battle of the Milvian Bridge. However there were some Romans like the Piso family, that were smart enough to realize that this new religion of Constantine, was subversive, so they had inserted sentences like Render Unto Caesar that which is Caesar, and unto god that which is god's.
The sacralized documents, weren't written down as the "Gospels" until centuries after this putative Jesus death, and only after Constantine had gathered up all of the proselytizers,
and transported them to far off Nicea, out of reach of the population, confined them to a villa, set guards at the door, plied them with wine and young boys, and telling them not to come out until they had arrived at a consensus. the Trinitarians won out, after beating the crap out of the rest of the subversives.
Now they had a consensus theology, but he needed a document to justify the ideology, so he had a dude named Jerome, and assisted by a Manichean priest who had converted to Christianity after watching Pope Leo "The Great" throw Manicheans to the lions, assisted Jeromein producing the first bible, the Latin Vulgate, in which Augustine (not his real name, but a title meaning the Great One, inject Manichean (a Greek version of Zoroastrianism) concepts like the dual gods into the "Gospel", Venus, as the morning star aka the Light Bringer, as it precedes the appearance of the sun, in Greece and the Mideast and Persian, Venus was worshiped and feared as a fierce, warrior goddess, even into Europe. Quran calls it al Uzza, Hebrews Esther, Greeks and others as , Astar, Astarte, and among Germanic peoples . Easter or Eostre
At the battle of the Milvian Bridge, when Constantiine faced off against Maxentius, whose legions outnumbered his.
The Romans and their legions, were very superstitious, Constantine worshiped Mithra, the Iranian god of the sun, justice, contract, and war in pre-Zoroastrian Iran. Known as Mithras in the Roman Empire during the 2nd and 3rd centuries ce, this deity was honoured as the patron of loyalty to the emperor.
But also believed in other gods and the most feared was Astarte, Astar, Ashera, Esther, Eostre
Besides being a fertility goddess, she was most feared, as she never lost a battle, and was ruthless to her enemies. Her signet was the Chi Rho overlaid one on the other and is the papal seal today. She he had the Chi Rho painted on the shields of his legions, a bold move of psychological warfare, and i worked, the legions of Maxentius were terrorized and many broke ranks and ran away.. The cult of Rome has made up another story of the event, that Constantine saw a cross in the morning sun, and painted that on his shields..
It was after he consolidated power, that he realized that Rome was ungovernable with all of these freaks soap boxing their own version of a new religion, not yet called Christianity, and realized the benefit, to him, of eliminating the expensivr and bothersome, hundreds of gods, major and minor, were, especially when each was agitating their devotees to construct temples and gain access to the Emperor and Teasury. The same motivation, that caused Ahkenaton to shelve all of the Egyptian gods in favor of the Aton, the Sun, formerly called Ra.
Cleopatra,Ancient Greek Kleopátra (Κλεοπάτρα), meaning "glory of her father",, but in Egyptian her father was Ra, and she the daughter of the Sun.
Men use something called god, or Allah,or Krshna, or Buddha, as a sock puppet, to control people and nations, pick their pockets, and to gain and enjoy power over the masses, and they do it by allying with the thug or thugs who have gained power via politics or armed force.
Thus Attila and the Witch doctor, a tenuous symbiotic relationship between the two, they need each other, Charlemagne essentially created the Pope, by selecting a Bishop of Rome, poor and indigent proclaiming him to be the divine leader of the cult, and then having the Pope (Leo III) crown him Emperor as proof that he was chosen by god., and thereafter all of the crowned heads of Europe called themselves chosen by god, and who can argue with or dispute god, especially when doing so will have you burned at the stake.
