Did Jesus also commit adultery with a porn star, use campaign funds to hush it up and then lie about it?
Or does the analogy not carry that far?
If you believe that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute, then I think Jesus would have been cool with a porn star. That said, adultery and embezzlement/theft were things he was definitely not cool with.
PS: There is a Christian conspiracy theory that postulates that Mary Magdalene was Jesus' lover or a very important figure in the fight against the establishment, but because that lessened the mythology of Jesus and empowered women, she was edited to be a removed that Jesus rescues rather than a woman he admired.
It's not a conspiracy theory. It's based off the lost gospels that were found in the Nag Hammadi Library [The Gnostics]. This theory might be from the Gospel of Mary but it might be another one.
Right you are! Only drop the Saint. The Gnostics believed in self-actualization not in divine intervention.
I read “embezzlement” in your comment and for some reason, my brain shouted “enshizzlement” instead. Not sure what it’s trying to tell me.
These two situations are superficially similar so they're exactly the same!
