John Adams says "facts do not care about our feelings" in one of the AI-generated videos in PragerU's series partnership with White House.

A shitty admin works with a shitty propaganda machine to produce shitty bullshit.

George Washington would be super happy to see what we’ve become. Sorta like how Jesus would be stoked by the Prosperity Gospel.

(Jesus was not a historical figure. He was originally a figure in heaven. Now let me really blow your mind: Washington also wasn’t a historical figure. He was originally the devil in hell! I’m joking of course, shut up, I need gallows humor to not be depressed by this shit. The bit about Jesus was not a joke, however.)

USA! USA! USA!

    Jesus was a legitimate historical figure. There are a number of accounts of people contemporary to him who knew him personally. Some of the overarching details of his life are uncertain, but 2 things are mostly universally agreed upon as historical fact.

    1. He was baptized by John the Baptist.
    2. He was crucified in or around Jerusalem during the Governorship of Pontius Pilate.

    Those two things are the only things about him that hold a high degree of certainty as historical fact. Everything else is subject to a fair degree of skepticism.

      Which accounts are those? I haven’t heard of any accounts that aren’t separated by at least a few decades, so I’m unsure if I’ve missed earlier accounts or if I misunderstood what you meant with contemporary with him.
