The age of reason is coming and it has no problem throwing Jesus into the same pile as all other versions of nonsense.
The age of reason and enlightenment. It influenced the French revolution and ushered in the Reign of Terror. The enlightened authority didn't take well to being disagreed with. So they persecuted and put to death thousands of citizens they took issue with, and many, merely on just suspicion. Better than 16,000 of those were put to death by the guillotine, and another 25,000 were executed by other means across France. Yeah, funny how we see this as the first steps to a wider elimination of religious liberty and free speech by you so-called enlightened ones.
Payback for 9 centuries of feudal criminality and church acquiescence, you dumb fuck. Really there are times when you seem to work overtime to cultivate stupidity.
