Absolutely convinced conservatives would attack Mr Rogers and Jesus if they were alive and real, respectively.

jesus was a real guy lol
Jesus was a historical figure. Abraham and co not so much
There isn't a lot of published academic work on this. It's an assumption by primarily Christian historians who have never seriously questioned it and there is starting to be some push-back on this idea. Now that academic works are being published on this there appears to be plenty of evidence that he was not.
I could definitely see the academic position changing. Last I looked into this topic was a long time ago. I can't find the video but I also watched an interview with some historian and she was saying that Abraham was absolutely not a real person but Jesus was. So yeah things could definitely change and the Christian historians I would never take seriously. I mean the bias is too obvious.
But the whole topic of historical accuracy (for lack of a better word) is a bit of a mind fuck. Trying to figure what happened thousands of years ago is such a monumentally difficult task. I mean we don't even know and will never what's happening in parts of the world at this very moment.
There are Christian historians you can absolutely take seriously. Bert Ehrman approaches this stuff with with real academic vigor. He is one of the very few who have published actual papers in respected journals on the historicity of Jesus. So he is the go-to guy for "Jesus was real". I'm just saying that the assumption was "Jesus was real" in the west for hundreds of years without any real study on the matter. Now we have a few people pushing back on the idea. Dr Richard Carrier is the most prominent and one of the only people who has published actual papers in journals on the un-historicity of Jesus. There are a few others. The number of people who have actually published on this topic you can count on your fingers. If there were to be a real debate on the subject the two dudes involved would almost certainly be these two.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
They already did that with Mr Rogers decades ago
Whos Mr Roger’s
Fred Rogers was the host of a beloved American children's program, Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.
I believe reruns still get aired on a lot of public television stations, but it's very much the blueprint for later personality driven children's content, like Ms. Rachel
Oh
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
And Jesus, also decades ago
lol @ zionazis exposing themselves just because Ms. Rachel basically said "killing kids is bad"
We need an emoji of that guy going “Israel #1! No politic!”
HOW DARE YOU
therror babies israel number one! no politick!
Love that hard ratio
Either the Zionists don't understand or refuse to and either way their unhinged hatred for her betrays how unreasonable they've always been.
"the kids brought me here" goes as hard as "a revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love"
Ms. Rachel is exposing the worst people in the world as craven ghouls by pointing out that it's bad to hurt children. I hope her haters die extremely mad about it.
remember the alternatives: paw patrol and minecraft youtubers

The clip of her playing with the little palestinian girl who lost both her legs is both sweet and heart-wrenching. Genuinely satanic to attack her over this, especially since she did also make a post about the Bibas kids.
that clip made me sob
It made me cry because of what that child had to go through. It made me tear up because she was still laughing and full of love
i can't put it any better than that, yeah, exactly
As an educator, this shouldn’t even be a left-right this, this is an educator literally DOING HER JOB in supporting kids!
Something alien to this culture that thinks acting like edgy 12 year olds is the coolest thing ever.
Who would win, one million fascist bloodthirsty zionazis baying for the blood of muslim children
or
One cool woman who loves children?
reminds me a little of a quote
One thing I think about I genuinely that the left needs to remember is that our love for others has always got to be the guiding principle for everything. Not spite, not hate, not rage, but love. Don't get me wrong all that spite, hate, and rage can be the by-product of love but it can't the whole of politics. My rage against injustice comes from a love of justice and decency for example. I want a just and upright world for everyone, people i know, people i don't know, and people i'll never know. I think my point is that love is important.
I've always thought the sentiment from George Jackson, that a revolutionary is motivated by "perfect love and perfect hate" to be an interesting and succinct expression of this. He frames it like a dialectic, and in a lot of ways, it is.
100%. I think some people on the left forget sometimes.
Yes, definitely! Love and solidarity. When we're angry, it's because we still care.
I'm with you comrade 🖤
