Because... art aren't made by God nor Jesus...?

Like, that's human to represent someone we really like as handsome and attractive.

im not interested in anything outside of the BIBLE itself...Isaiah who prophesized the coming of the one clearly said he was not majectic, not beautiful, but extremely boring, normal with NO beauty. This is NOT how he is portrayed by churches.

that im certainly not a fan of, i really dont think its a good idea to love your enemies lol. He has terrible ideas. That picture on the right, could be anyone, his name could be steve for all anyone knows lol. So when people kiss the cross and look at that picture, you could be praying to some dude called Steve.

For my part Jesus's moral is something precious, that for some are found in nowadays morals for a totally uncorrelated reason.

This is something I'm following, because I believe that it's a really good moral. So yeah I'm Christian, fellow followed of Jesus's speech and the Dark_humor stream.

And why do you think that "love your enemies" is a bad moral ? I'm genuinely curious now

Because they are your enemies and Jesus was extremely naive, if you take the fantasy stuff out and convert it into just human existance without a god, why did he really get put on a cross? He loved his enemies and he even KNEW his own friend would betray him. If you love your enemies it could lead to naive/bad decisions when dealing with people that may not like you. Respect your enemies, Appreciate your enemies, understand why they are your enemies, be nice to your enemies. But never love your enemies, they dont love you, they want to hurt you.

Huh, I actually agree with ya.

I've more interpret it like "don't go full eye for eye, teeth for teeth" or whatever the English expression is.
So basically respect your enemies, appreciate them how they are, and get what you can learn from them. So just a pure passific with no hate or whatsoever.

I also like the Toriel way : "If you enter in a FIGHT, strike with a friendly conversation".

Last thing, enemies doesn't always mean the people who WANT to hurt you. Enemies can be in one way, yours. And that can be really bad.

But yeah don't be f**king naive, loving your enemies doesn't mean jumping in a trap. (I don't think Jesus was naive, he knew what he was doing)
