In this day and age, they would crucify Jesus Christ again for the same reasons. One can read many things in the Holy Scriptures, if one so desires. Those who can read have a clear advantage. This is where most people fail, not to mention understanding the whole picture. Many people today think they are good Christians if they go to church on Sundays and listen to the unctuous words from the pulpit. Reading the Bible and understanding what you read, i.e. thinking for yourself, would be much more meaningful. As far as the consequences are concerned, we are already seeing the scenario you describe, especially in Europe. πŸ™„ View quoted note β†’

"History teaches people that history teaches people nothing." -- Mohandas Ghandi Germany in 2025 is a carbon copy of the Weimar Republic in 1925. It is the same people who are pulling the strings behind the scenes. History repeats itself before everyone's eyes. πŸ‘‡ View quoted note β†’

This "verdict" is almost beyond ridiculous. It is reminiscent of the good old trials during the communist era in the former Soviet Union. Guilty because he was an enemy of the system. View quoted note β†’

Quote: 'Drawing on his direct experience of Athenian democracy β€” the same democracy that unjustly sentenced his teacher Socrates to death β€” Plato tells us that in the degenerated democracy (ochlocracy), β€œthe people are enslaved by themselves,” being manipulated by demagogues who flatter them and exploit their fears and passions.' So even in the old days demacracy wasn't that "good" as we are told. One must be rather simple-minded to conclude that modern β€˜democracy’ is an improvement on the times of Athens or even a perfect form of government for the present day. Most people do not know the difference between democracy and anarchy, let alone the true meaning of either term. With such contemporaries, it is impossible to bring about any change in the existing system. 😱 View quoted note β†’
