If you judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree, it will forever believe it is stupid.
It isn't just this forum, but everybody is stupid in one way or the other and everybody has their weaknesses and achilles heel. People have blind spots and don't always know what they are doing is wrong or how it will offend.
People don't know what kind of stuff might be severely disturbing to one person, very amusing to another, appreciated by some, highly offensive to others, so they seek affirmation from people and tend to focus only on the negative.
Don't forget Jesus Christ has technically been the dude who receives the most positive affirmation that ever walked the planet but the guy died a total criminal with a terrible reputation, public display of mockery , insults, and more hatred than Mussolini.
Religious people objected to him always hanging out with sluts, whores, thieves, and drunkards, ...
....people essentially told John the Baptist "GET A JOB YOU LAZY FUCKER" (and considered him a nearly naked homeless madman who ate bugs in the wilderness and didn't change his clothes) and he was Christ's right hand man whom Jesus said was greater than the 12 Apostles and all the Old Testament Prophets including Moses and Elijah.
Jesus was a bigger failure than Mussolini. Il Duce had beatlemania and screaming fans after miraculously taking over a Democracy without votes or bloodshed, resurrected an Empire, crated economic miracles, prevented a bloody red communist revolution in Italy, and saved a full blown one in Spain.
Jesus on the other hand claimed he was some King of some invisible Kingdom and that he came for the lost sheep of Israel. They essentially told him "FUCK OFF! Get lost you creep!" Especially after he told Jews they had to eat him and drink his blood which was forbidden for Jews to do. They found him to be disgusting.
The Religious people said Jesus was possessed by demons, used witchcraft, was verifiably insane to many, and it was sluts and thieves and drunkards that actually accepted him.
The Apostles were illiterate (many of them uneducated , illiterate fishermen who had about as much respect as the average janitor, and the one I'm named after had the worst reputation as a sinful greedy tax collector [who ironically was killed in Ethiopia].
Jesus was by almost any standards a defeated failure. He was a carpenter claiming to be the son of God and had goals he didn't accomplish while claiming to be the "King of the Jews" and the "Messiah", yet the Jews gave him the middle finger because he didn't live up to some of the prophecies, and they found him to be the biggest disgrace in Israel, eventually having him executed.
The Romans actually wanted to let him go. Pontius Pilot said "I find no fault with him". He gave people the option of releasing a murderer or Jesus Christ ( who Pontius Pilot found mentally ill but innocent of crimes). The Jews chose the murderer and kept shouting "Crucify him" regarding Christ.
Jesus had little loyalty from any of his followers. Here's an example. Emperor Hirohito had over 3,8000+ soldiers get into planes and go on suicide missions flying their planes into American boats and planes. He had people get into torpedoes and guide the torpedoes to American ships and blow themselves up.
That is loyalty. "Greater love hath no man than to lay down one's life for their friends" - the word of God. They never saw their Emperor perform one miracle and were zealous about dying for him.
The Apostles saw all of Christ's miracles and the chief Apostle Peter who was given the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven and promised he would lay down his life for Christ, renounced his faith and denied ever knowing Christ before the cock crowed three times (after swearing his allegiance and willingness to die for him).
The other Apostles ran away like cowards when it was time for Christ to be arrested. Their lives weren't even really in danger at that point, so yeah, it was total cowardice. The exception was John who remained at the foot of the cross and the Virgin Mary and a small handful of women.
Judas witnessed all of Christ's miracles , Jesus specifically chose Judas out of all the people to be one of the top twelve, and then Judas sold him for some silver and hung himself before spending any of it. What is this a joke?? Christianity was a total shit show!
Early Christians for hundreds of years were clowns used as torches at the olympic games, fed to wild beasts, crucified, drowned, beaten to death, decapitated, drawn and quartered, and executed in all kinds of lovely creative ways.
The Apostles were killed violently as criminals with the exception of John who had dementia and trippin out on magic mushrooms on the island of Patmos when he wrote the "Book of revelaton" which is completely incoherent, impossible to take seriously ....
....[dragons, beasts with shit loads of heads, Jesus with hair like the wool of a lamb, women standing on the moon crowned with stars, clothed with the sun, people unable to buy or sell without receiving 666 on their foreheads etc.] and ridiculous beyond anything I've experienced on my wildest acid trip.
AND PEOPLE TAKE THIS MIND FUCKING BULLSHIT LITERALLY!!! The dude was obviously EXTREMELY schizophrenic or on drugs! Fishermen at that time were notorious for being drunk and high all the time back then and the first miracle of Jesus was turning water into a highly addictive drug at a party!
But anyway, we all have our weaknesses including Jesus and the Apostles. There are geniuses who were nuts, delusional, homeless beggars, criminals, drug addicts, and people that could barely tie their own shoe. Rember John Nash from that movie (a beautiful mind).
Jesus was the most succesfull man in the world and he was born in a friggin smelly barn, wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in something that animals eat out of.
No man has influenced the world more than He, yet he died a failure and wasn't a success until hundreds of years later. Now Jesus has more positive affirmation and more girlfriends (eating his flesh and drinking his blood) and likes than anyone with the best reputation.
You can't judge what people say about you. People tend to focus on the negative comments and rejection instead of the positive stuff. If Jesus would have given a shit it would have destroyed his whole ministry and he would have probably committed suicide.
If you can't climb a tree, maybe you can swim. There are many creatures that can climb trees very well but can't swim for shit and many animals that are great swimmers that can't walk or climb trees. My point is, we all have strengths and weaknesses and we can't listen to negativity unless it is constructive criticism done out of genuine charity.
