Christ went willingly in chains.

Such bravery, much sacrifice.

"Sell your cloaks for swords, but when I'm faced by the enemy, I'll not sell my cloak."

Virgin Jesus VS Chad Aragorn

he literally had an easy chance to avoid crucifixion at the cost being dishonest, but still chose not to, that's courage

2020-03-14 18:54:50 UTC  

Jesus was a cuck that didn't practice what he preached, and died a virgin in chains.

"Take up arms in your defence, except for me, I'm too scared to actually fight."

2020-03-14 18:55:39 UTC  

"I'll just surrender and say that was courageous."

2020-03-14 18:55:41 UTC  

That rather falls apart, considering that LotR was utterly dripping with Catholic themes and symbolism

As for Christ, if you buy into the story, him being sacrificed was deliberate and _the point_. He was not a passive subject in the story but a knowing and deliberate agent who delivered anyone who chose to be worthy from Hell

2020-03-14 18:55:50 UTC  

fighting when you will inevitably lose because you know you were abandoned is stupidity, not courage

2020-03-14 18:56:03 UTC  

that's being an immature retard

2020-03-14 18:56:16 UTC  

Surrendering instead of fighting, when knowing you'll face the same fate regardless, isn't courageous.

2020-03-14 18:56:23 UTC  

Untrue

2020-03-14 18:56:26 UTC  

he could easily avoid that fate

just bow down towards either the Romans or the Israelites

2020-03-14 18:56:39 UTC  

he chose not to

2020-03-14 18:56:46 UTC  

stuck to his honest convictions

2020-03-14 18:56:54 UTC  

at the cost of great suffering and death

2020-03-14 18:57:05 UTC  

and still managed to keep a righteous outlook as he was nailed

2020-03-14 18:57:14 UTC  

and *it worked*

2020-03-14 18:57:34 UTC  

because, wow, being an inspiring leader like that gets you a massive following

2020-03-14 18:57:41 UTC  

the results are the results

2020-03-14 18:57:51 UTC  
2020-03-14 18:57:51 UTC  

you literally are incapable of arguing against the results

2020-03-14 18:57:55 UTC  

Instead he chose to surrender himself instead of fight; honest convictions of being a prisoner and dead man, instead of a free man.

2020-03-14 18:58:09 UTC  

fighting a 1v100 is stupid

2020-03-14 18:58:10 UTC  

again

2020-03-14 18:58:19 UTC  

but ofc, you won't acknowledge any points made against you

2020-03-14 18:58:22 UTC  

And it spawned one of the most successful religions in human history

If he was going to die either way, fighting would have been the more courageous option, instead of following the nihilistic idea of "well I'm going to die anyway, may as well get it over with."
