Why were a bunch of Zoroastrians looking for the supposed king of a different religion in the first place?

We're discussing the Bible as a piece of literature. Besides, your mythology is mostly a bundle of Zoroastrianism stuffed with a bunch of pagan culture reskins anyways.

>implying the Abrahamic faiths aren't just copypastas of Zoroastrianism and Europoor gods.
Even made a cameo at the beginning of Jew 2: Electric Boogaloo

Not a Christian, but I'll give my secular perspective on it. Jesus represents the archetypal perfect man. He's competent (tradesman), compassionate, and uses his abilities to help improve the society around him. He threatened the local power structure and they had him killed for blasphemy.
One notable bit I am fond of is his time on the cross, especially the point when he's in so much anguish that even the most perfect man created truly feels that God has forsaken him and cries out. The man that many have put their faith in has been punished by the very people he loved, tortured and humiliated even he loses his faith for a moment. The onlookers mistake this as a cry for help from the prophet Elijah, and one of them offers him the most miniscule act of kindness, a bit of spoiled wine/vinegar out of a sponge to quench his thirst before he finally dies. Throw in some earthquakes and ghosts. I think the lesson is that you can do everything right, and you can still end up getting fucked over by control freaks. Love thy neighbor and don't give in to tyrants. Dude gave out a lot of good common sense advice for making the world around you a better place and even killing him didn't stop his message and story from propagating to the present day.

They killed the man, but the memetic ghost he left behind was resurrected and continues to live on in anyone that will internalize his story and message.

W - world
H - heaven
P - perfect good

W = P (world is good because God created it)
H = P (heaven is good by definition)
W < H (world is less good than heaven)

CONTRADICTION! Christcucks are mathlets. Read a book.

Peterson is a self-admitted Christcuck. That infographic is as anti-petersonian as it gets. Read a book.
