    If Jesus the hardline orthodox Jew from first century Galilee came back to life today, or even a century after his death, he would be appalled that gentiles have created an entirely new religion out of the worship of his idol, and he’d have far more in common with those Jews who have adhered strictly to (his interpretation) of the laws in Leviticus, like the Haredim.

    Of course there’s some nuance, Jesus was certainly a revolutionary looking to upend the established order, but these modern “Christians” are completely off the map in terms of what Jesus was doing and teaching.
