    I’d think survival would be inconsistent with the amount of time Lazarus was “dead”/needed cpr.

    I lean more towards Lazarus being misdiagnosed as dead and Jesus giving Lazarus the ol’ sternum tap to wake him up.

      I can agree with that.

      Look, I am saying that I agree with what Jesus taught, no question. But I don’t think he was a magic zombie man.

      And I do believe in God/Godhead, and I am not a hard physicalist.

      The miracle of Jesus is mostly that he helped people without asking for money, which the pharisees and sadducees were doing by order of the Roman empire, while additionally refusing to assist gentiles.

      And the J-Sauce was like, “fuck this stupid shit. And fuck the Romans and their self-perceived authority to deny the basic commandment: Love thy neighbor.”

      Jesus was punk as fuck. He refused to stand down, the Romans tried to twist the narrative so that his own supporters would be blamed, and made an example of.

      But that holy spirit should die. Hence, fuck ICE. I will happily die to defend my neighbor, without using any force. Just an example.

      But if you strike me first, well, I will take action to stop you from doing it again. Pacifism is not submission.
