The Crucifixion: A Centralization Effort | Truth is Radical

#statism #religion #religious

The most famous crucifixion of all time was a centralization effort. Jesus was a popular figure and an easy scapegoat. He was said to be: perverting the nation because he didn’t want people to have their wealth stolen from them. This is a detachment from reality. This is nothing more than projection. After all, many of his followers were fishermen and couldn’t afford to have more of their limited wealth forcibly removed. Rich or poor, either way, it’s a violation of private property and Jesus never advocated aggression against others.

This “radical” idea to be free might stir up the people. Wanting to be free is simply unacceptable and something had to be done. Bingo! The empire will sanction the crucifixion. To be clear, Jesus was not a threat to the empire, he had no plans to steal money in perpetuity, raise an army, he just wanted to follow the truth. At this point, they have reached a state of panic. He was a threat because truth was becoming too popular. His enemies were gripped by fear rather than rage. Unable to admit to their personal faults and weaknesses. They have succumbed to false ideas and imaginary hobgoblins.
