The way I see things, Jesus died because people are prone to status chasing above all else & to blindly aligning themselves with authority figures, both of which are stupid & easily the most destructive behaviors of all time. The lesson to be learned from the death of Jesus should be enough to save people from those behaviors, but unfortunately I think a lot of people, even those who seem to care, still miss it.
I will spend some time on the passages you DMed me sometime soon & we can continue there. Need sleep now 😴
