Jesus Christ

Again, there is no such thing as a christ, magic isn’t real.

literally said he is the Son of Man

Isn’t everyone?

and assigned Pope Peter as the “rock” of his church

And what does that mean? One of these four interpretations? www.gotquestions.org/upon-this-rock.html

Or something else entirely? Let’s ask Jesus. Oh right… he died.

GotQuestions.orgWhat did Jesus mean by “upon this rock I will build my church” in Matthew 16:18? | GotQuestions.orgWhat did Jesus mean by “upon this rock I will build my church” in Matthew 16:18? Is Peter the rock Jesus was referring to? Does Peter being the rock mean that the Catholic Church is the one true church?

There is, stop strawmanning it to “magic”

Can god make something out of nothing? That is magic. Can god reverse death? That is magic.

What’s up with the blood sacrifices and rituals? Totally-not-magic?

The Son of Man as in the Messiah. Matthew 26:64 Jesus said to him: “You have said it. Yet truly I say to you, hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the power of God, and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

Messiah meaning savior? To save us from the punishments god created for us?

Jesus told him to “feed my sheep”.

Jesus was kind of a dick like that, yeah. If we believe the gospels.
