kinda feels like jesus started out as this really sweet autistic kid hyper fixating on religion and scripture and stuff, but then as he grows older he progressively gets more and more disillusioned with the world, as well as more and more crushed by the weight of responsibility from being the literal messiah of the jewish people, and as a result also more and more frustrated and snappy

uhhhh pretty big red flag there with the "you can join me but don't even say goodbye to your loved ones"
re: bible, luke
why is everyone afraid to ask jesus questions???? and in the samaritan village, why do they offer to him to DESTROY IT WITH FIRE FROM THE HEAVENS????? that does NOT sound like the jesus from this book at all??? fishy as heck if you ask me
re: bible, luke
the two death predictions are...... kinda dull honestly? i feel like i might be missing some context again but it doesn't feel like a big reveal, and everyone's reactions are so idiosyncratic?????

there's also a LOT of demons possessing people. that's a pretty rare thing in the old testament afaik
re: bible, luke

re: bible, luke
the scene at the dinner with the tax collectors? amazing. love it. also now understand the us and tax
re: bible, luke
man i'm getting tired of all this going around healing everyone; aren't you, like, the messiah? can't you just heal everyone collectively and bring the dead back? what kind of messiah are you supposed to be if you can't even do those things?
