The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control. Turning things around, I don't think Jesus is just like Trump.

Jesus wasn't orange... for one.

Yeah, but if he existed he would almost certainly have been a person of color.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world -3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not really... there was no such thing as "white" back then - which mean no "people of colour," either.

He would definitely be classified as such according to the totally rational race caste system we can't seem to exist without today.

Wait, are you trying to say that northern Europeans didn't exist 2000 years ago? Or are you trying to say that people back then didn't discriminate based on skin color?

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

that northern Europeans didn’t exist 2000 years ago?

"White" is an invented thing - and a pretty recent one, too. There is no such thing as a "white" race - not today, nor 2000 years ago. It only exists in the head of a person that has been taught to see the world through the lens of white supremacism - ie, "scientific racism" - which we are almost all subjected to from birth no matter our (supposed) "race."

We all know he was as white as the new fallen snow!

Don't forget the blue eyes... and the flowing semi-golden locks.
