Irriddle80.. that's not a bad suggestion. If there was some language that supported that connection (aside from the word thorn) it would be more persuasive.

why crown of thorns
by peacefulpete inmost here know that story elements in the jesus story are drawn from the ot.
countless elements of gospels are cut straight from the descriptions of ot characters like moses, joshua, samuel et.al.
an interesting suggestion involves a passage that was the very last straw for me years ago.

Goodbye yhwh-Goodbye jesus
by fulltimestudent ininteresting report in a oxford university blog - the world is becoming less religious, (hurray!!!).
quote: "an analysis of religious trends from 1981 to 2007 in 49 countries containing 60% of the world’s population did not find a global resurgence of religion—most high-income countries were becoming less religious—however, it did show that in 33 of the 49 countries studied, people had become more religious (norris and inglehart, 2011).
but since 2007, things have changed with surprising speed.

But you would deny God the same familial context for joy, purpose and pleasure?
You seem to have now jumped to God needing a life purpose. If God's need for purpose inspired him to make us to commune with, and our need for purpose is filled by communing with him, doesn't that make us equals?

According to Hume, the materialist cannot jump from what is to what ought to be.
But you know what? I can live a purposeful life just fine without Hume either.

I'm sorry but that was actually quite funny. Family gives my life purpose, accomplishment and creativity as well. Selfless cooperation is the lifeblood of family and society. Don't wait for a message to be delivered from above to give life purpose. It is all around you.

by pistolpete inso the new biden/harris gun policies are starting to appear.
it’s not clear yet, what they will be.. some suggestions; confiscate all guns.------buyback programs in each state.. there is much talk on social media that if this happens, the pandemic, + all the riots, + all the damaged property, + all the annual murders in america, - put together-will be like a sunday afternoon picnic, compared to all the deaths and property damage that will result because of “civil uprising” by millions of 2nd amendments advocates and just plain gun lovers.

Imagine if no one had a gun to stop this monster(with a gun).
How did this monster get a gun? Could we have prevented it? ASK theses important questions, don't just insist it was inevitable like some fatalist doomsayer.

If you like that one, you'll love this one that reminds people that Trump 3 years ago wanted gun control. Skip the last half of the clip, its just unrelated monologue.

More guns equals more safety
More assault guns equals more safety
More grenade launchers equals more safety
More flamethrowers equals more safety
More nuclear bombs equals more safety.
Where does this logic break down?

8. We were created for a specific purpose: God's good pleasure and no other reason
I'd rather rather give my life purpose than imagine I was a tinker toy with a predetermined usefulness. And honestly, I really doubt your words are any more true for you than me. Life has promise and potential, even if it is short for some of us. While we are alive we give life purpose by accomplishment and creativity, selflessness and cooperation. If you wait to have a deity define your purpose in life you will be tools for someone else's purpose.
