I've read some texts that sound like they could've been written by Jesus.
So, if God created this discord, he didn’t manage to achieve any greater good by doing so, and we’re left with the conclusion that God creates discord for its own sake. That’s kinda nutty. You should expect better from your Supreme Being.

No one has ever found anything written by Jesus. No one has ever found anything that might have been written by Jesus.
What have you read that makes you think it could have been written by Jesus? And what makes you think it was?
And you dodged my question.
