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
nani
he literally had an easy chance to avoid crucifixion at the cost being dishonest, but still chose not to, that's courage
Jesus was a cuck that didn't practice what he preached, and died a virgin in chains.
ok edgyboi
"Take up arms in your defence, except for me, I'm too scared to actually fight."
"I'll just surrender and say that was courageous."
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
fighting when you will inevitably lose because you know you were abandoned is stupidity, not courage
that's being an immature retard
Surrendering instead of fighting, when knowing you'll face the same fate regardless, isn't courageous.
Untrue
he could easily avoid that fate
he chose not to
stuck to his honest convictions
at the cost of great suffering and death
and still managed to keep a righteous outlook as he was nailed
and *it worked*
because, wow, being an inspiring leader like that gets you a massive following
the results are the results
you literally are incapable of arguing against the results
Instead he chose to surrender himself instead of fight; honest convictions of being a prisoner and dead man, instead of a free man.
fighting a 1v100 is stupid
again
but ofc, you won't acknowledge any points made against you
And it spawned one of the most successful religions in human history
🍿
and now you have to lash out with inaccurate emojis
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."
