"Could Jesus have actually been a woman?" Because, you know, someone that nice could not possibly have been a real dude...

The real story, like Leviathan's, is yet more complex. It's an attack by the masculine virtues embodied in the hierarchy – certainty, strength, power, reason – on the feminine ones embodied in Christ – love, compassion, self-sacrifice and unreasoning trust.

Because the definition of masculinity isn't innately tied to sacrificing yourself for others?

Women may play martyrs but men do the actual dying.

If this isn't an April Fool's prank it is quite an example of feminist lunacy making it into a mainstream newspaper. Reminds me of the way some feminist "historians" look at cave paintings of bulls' heads and see a womb and ovaries!

She lost me as soon as she conflated a Religious Ceremony with it's non-religious counterpart. "Consider Easter. We know that Easter shares an etymology with oestrus – probably (according to Bede) also with Eostre, the Germanic goddess of spring and possibly with Ishtar, the 4th century BC Babylonian goddess of fertility (and war). Hence, Easter eggs."

Seriously, EASTER EGGS.

The answer is "absolutely!" Just as much as Back to the Future III was a documentary. All that behind the scenes footage? Fabricated with modern actors.

To be honest, having studied early Christianity in college, there are a lot of possibilities when it comes to Christ. Everything from he was gay to he didn't actually exist, hell, even a space alien, but this is honestly a first. Even feminists then didn't propose some of this lunacy.

The idea itself discards period norms and understandings in favor for anachronistic readings and ideology. Did Jesus support women? Absolutely possible considering the role of women as the trace of the bloodline in Jewish beliefs and the eventual veneration of his mother and Mary Magdalene. But was Christ a woman? That never would have flown during that time. Sorry. Were there important women? Yes. But not the Messiah. Just, no. As a spiritual person, the idea is ultimately moot. God, or a god, can do whatever he/she wants to do. According to the actual history we have, this is just poor wishful thinking at best.

Welp, Easter is around the corner so it's time for the bi-yearly bashing.

...Pretty sure Jesus was circumcised. They only circumcised men back then.

Son of god.

Jesus was black bi-sexual woman.

Yep. got it, Jesus was lesbian.
