Was Jesus a Good Person?

Thesis: Jesus was not a good person, either as regular human (assuming he truly existed as described), a prophet (as Islam believes he is), or as a deity (which is the mainstream Christian narrative).

Obviously much of the harm of Christianity was done by his early supporters, enablers, leaders who saw the opportunity to weaponize religion (which continues to this day); but none of it would have been possible without Jesus' specific teachings/commandments.

As a human, he has greatly harmed humanity through his teachings:

Antisemitism

In co-opting and taking over Judaism and battling his own Synagogue leaders, causing his own execution, he started the demonization of Judaism, which lead to more anti-semitism. He did this by anointing himself the title of Messiah, the returned King of the Jews; even though he didn't bring about world peace, as prophesized; knowing it would anger the religious leaders of the time. And to this day, where Jews do not accept Jesus' claims!

Of course, most of the world reviles anti-semitism now but history shows Christendom has contributed to its normalization. Even today, Evangelicals promoting Christian Zionism uses Israel as a political pawn for their religious end-goals, demonstrating that Christendom is not yet done with its plans for the religion.

Exclusivity and Exclusion

In teaching that only his teachings are valid ways to enter heaven, Jesus made religious-exclusivity and exclusionism a primary feature of the religion. In doing so, he instantly marginalized the entire non-Christian world but worse, instantly shutting down religious pluralism.

Its other side effects are that it justifies uni-thinking, uni-actions, anti-freedom, and anti-religious behaviors: thus dogma, scripture, canon, blasphemy, sacrilege, apostasy, and other thought-crimes and punishments provided mechanisms to identify, vilify and excommunicate alternative ideas.

This religious exclusivity reached such ridiculous point that they ended persecuting each other, causing the foundation of a new country whose Constitution is secular to ensure plurality (of mainly Christianity).

Evangelism

In demanding that his teachings were not only to be applied to Jews but the entire world, evangelism has wrought permanent harm on our world. Theists will retort with scripture that Christians aren't supposed to force their way into other people's lives, but at the same time Jesus calls disbelievers swines and dogs.

And history tells and different story. Gone are the pagan, aboriginal and native religions and magicks; practically all their peoples wiped out, their lands stolen, and their culture destroyed. The religion's symbiotic relationship with colonialism has left a permanent scar on the planet that will never be replaced.

Who knows what kind of world we would have had if not Jesus' othering and demonization of non-believers and in-believers.

Deificication

Per Christianity, Jesus was actually God. Which makes the whole narrative rather comical since basically the Christ story can be reduced to God causing the original sin onto humanity, sent himself down to earth to sacrifice himself to himself in order to purge us of the sin he caused us to have in the first place.

The more sinister narrative is that God, went from being the deity for one tribe, and no other, and indeed ordering the conquest and genocide of the Canaanite, to now forcing all humans to worship him. Except now instead of the genocidal flood to ensure 100% compliance, his religion Christianity has given its followers the remit to spread his new religion along with absolution for any crimes via "indulgences" from the Catholic Church. That said, our reprieve from genocide is only temporary because non-Christians are going to face certain death on Jesus' second coming, which oddly comes just as we achieve world peace.

I still don't understand how Christians justify mass killings as OK because God "made" us but it explains the old adage of it takes religion to make people do bad things. Religion is used a cover (aka just "following orders") and they absolves themselves and each other as they execute the orders of Jesus primary directive of a uni-religion.

Summary

So there is very little in the entire story of Jesus that makes it the force of good that most actually good chrisitans try to tell us. But worse, the supposedly good parts mask the more sinister parts, which are all about God promoting himself and forcing everyone to worship him under the explicit threat of Hell.

Note this is without criticizing the bad moral lessons taught, and focusing on the larger impacts of Christianity's role in the world.
