      I dunno, I mean he was ok I guess. Preaching about how the end of the world is coming and everyone is going to be judged if you don’t accept a specific religion is somewhat not cool.

        I accept the concept from “The Man from Earth” movie/play as canon. Maybe not in that particular way, but in how it went from a nice philosophy by a guy that mushroomed into something he would not have recognized.

        Have you read what Jesus teaches? He doesn’t actually teach on:

        The end of the world is coming

        You gotta accept a specific religion

        He does teach on:

        The kingdom of heaven is here, now

        You are invited to participate with God in putting the world back together by treating each other with love and value

        A lot of “Christians” don’t understand this. I’d say most don’t.

      He had some nice ideas but idk if “cool” is the right word. Unless we are talking Buddy Christ.
