 *"Love your enemy, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you."* --Jesus
 
-Jesus Christ (original name *Yeshua*, meaning *Yahweh saves*, also Jesus of Nazareth, about 4 BC to 33 AD) was a [jewish](jew.md) preacher that's said to have been the messiah, son of [God](god.md), whose life along with alleged miracles he performed is described by the [Bible](bible.md) (specifically its New Testament) and who is the center figure and founder of [Christianity](christianity.md), the world's largest religion; as such he is arguably the most famous of all men in [history](history.md) (probably followed by [Hitler](hitler.md), kind of his opposite). Just one fact proving this claim is that we count our years more or less from his birth. He gained many followers as he lived in times when the coming of messiah was greatly expected. Historical facts about him are most likely extremely distorted by now, but traditionally it's said he preached love of God and other people and established a kind of universalism in religion: according to Bible he said that God has changed his laws and would accept all "well behaved" people into his heavenly kingdom -- that is not just [jews](jew.md), the chosen people, as was previously the case, established by the God of Old Testament. For having stirred up a social disturbance, a kind of revolution, and for calling himself the messiah he was later crucified, as he himself allegedly predicted -- according to the Bible he sacrificed himself by this act to redeem the sins of all people, was resurrected after death and came up to the heaven to dwell by the God's side. Along the lines of Martin Buber's quote -- "I don't believe in Jesus, but I believe with him" -- also we appreciate his teaching alone, that is without necessarily subscribing to any mass religion or even having to believe in [God](god.md) (but also without taking away the freedom to do so), our [LRS](lrs.md) is highly aligned with much of the teaching of Jesus, especially that of [non violence](non_violence.md), [love](love.md) of all people (even one's "enemies"), modesty, frugality and so forth.

 As perhaps the most influential man in history whose image has been twisted, used and abused over the centuries, we have to nowadays distinguish two separate characters:
 
-- **Jesus of the Bible**: Jesus as described by the Bible, a book full of centuries worth of distortion, copying mistakes, inaccuracies, censorship and purposeful religious propaganda, further on also distorted just by the long time and cultural forces (e.g. his depictions in art). This kind of Jesus is to a great degree a fictional character, though based on a real man; he is the son of God (some even seeing him as actually the God himself somehow), a man without sin, born from a virgin, who performed countless miracles like healing the blind and even resurrecting dead, who spoke the word of God, was resurrected after death and is now overlooking us from the heaven.
-- **historical Jesus**: The true man, as seen by [history](history.md), that actually lived and was almost definitely just a mere mortal like any of us, preaching ideas that are probably quite different from today's traditional Christianity. Most historians agree that Jesus lived (with some minority disagreeing), though of course they reject that he would possess any supernatural powers -- these, they say, are things spawned as a legend, a propaganda of mass religion, added later on etc. Historical Jesus was different from Biblical Jesus in many ways, many things he says in the Bible were only added later, many of his sayings and actions may have been censored etc.

 **Jesus (of the Bible) was [anarchist, pacifist](anpac.md), [communist](communism.md) and explicitly rejected [capitalism](capitalism.md) and all violence** (even in self defense and against those who would "deserve" it), though stupid American capital and military worshippers [tattoo](tattoo.md) shit such as "What would Jesus do?" on their asses, they somehow seem to masterfully apply selective blindness and completely ignore his quotes such as:
