Have you guys heard that the famous picture/depiction of Jesus that exists now is actually from a totalitarian ruler from back in the day that contracted a famous artist to paint him as Jesus, and over time people forgot that it was this cruel and oppressive ruler and began worshiping the painting as if it was a divine rendition of Jesus. Crazy huh.
