    You don’t need any labels to agree with the fundamental truths and moral teachings shared by big J. If you have eyes to see and ears to hear (the subvocalization inherent in reading, because we’re around 2000 years too late to hear him preach, lol), the Sermon of the Mount just makes sense, for instance.

    Idk what this person is doing besides memeing for our collective amusement, but if they’re for real they need to rethink the way they think before they start any applied philosophical pursuits. 😅

      True, but that more or less applies to all religions. The problem is that it’s never just the wisdom of the beatitudes or the Tao Te Ching. At a certain point they start asking you to believe this guy rose from the dead, and a lot of us just don’t buy it

        Neither do I, that’s why I call him big J, the man, and not “one of the deities of Roman Catholicism”. 😅

          I thought rethinking the way one thinks is applying philosophical pursuits.
