That doesn't prove what Jesus taught, which is the basis of Christianity, is wrong and illogical.
Perhaps not and I don't believe Ace was trying to make that point; however it does illustrate that what Jesus is held to have 'taught' can be transposed so comprehensibly into a tool for socio-political control. That mutability in itself ought to render those 'teachings' dubious. Put another way: religion in general, and organised religion in particular, makes a great umbrella for the psychopath.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
