He can drain the resources from my balls and ass

One must imagine Us happy.

Yeah, I think this is the big difference. We have the capacity to rationalize and introspect. If we can make a change for the better (and know we can), how do we justify not making it?

Sometimes the reason is “it’s hard” or an apathetic “it doesn’t matter”. But I think it’s very difficult to come to the conclusion that it’s (consumption of meat) the correct thing to do.

I say this as someone who commonly falls into the “it’s tough” bucket.

Romans pinned him up for being a nuisance, ya goof.

Sure, we’re animals. Being able to reason and rationalize sure are something too, though.

I am a man made of meat, you’re on the internet looking at feet

No one claims your mom is omnipotent and omnipresent you eggplant. And if they did, you’d think nothing of such a ridiculous claim. Which is what a rational person would do.

The trick is finding the joy, for lack of a better word, in those things while knowing full well they don’t matter. Do it just to do it for you, and hopefully for good reason.

I’ll take Pascal’s wager and believe you’re an eggplant hooked up to a computer, just promise me a good time when I die.

roman authority handled Jesus the same they handled any other crucified person. The situation was considered like any other uprising and handled accordingly, not a conspiracy to target him. This is supported by the fact that roman documentation of the crucifixion is blasé.

Sounds like the Roman’s did it bc they couldn’t be bothered with the civil unrest from another of the many cults in the region.
