Potentially...
Fanaticism
Blatant behavioral choices that targeted him for crucifiction
Believing in a god who was not really there for him

Anyone who threatens the supremacy of the Great Beast - the one true god of the state, simply cannot be tolerated much less liked by those in power. The punishment is death in the eyes of the Beast

As a Jew he liked Jews; he didn't like gentiles. Thought they were the great beast!

I'm sure he was a nice person, if he ever existed. It's kristians who are the problem.
Re: So what's not to like
Worldwide persecution of Christians is attempting to eliminate your problem.
Re: So what's not to like
Asserting that Christ was a believer is a huge, unwarrented assumption. The underlying principle of Christianity is eternal life, not an eternal and unchanging mortality.
Re: So what's not to like
His teachings of love and conscience did make the world a better place.

Or he could have been believing in a personified separate presence that was not really there.
There was never any sacrifice since being present was all that could be known to be just a dream anyway, and so any fear of death would have been totally diminished.

My response was based on what has been written about him in the Bible. Apparently he felt that his Father deserted him -- he asked "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" And apparently he also begged his god to not go through with the plan that would result in his death.Dontaskme wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2019 7:21 amOr he could have been believing in a personified separate presence that was not really there.

A good example of the inability of the secular to understand the sacred and why esoteric Christianity must be an oral tradition in order to retain its value..My response was based on what has been written about him in the Bible.

Original sin. The idea that babies are guilty, just for being born, and have to surrender their critical faculties the moment they acquire them, to be pardoned for what someone who listened to a talking snake did. The punishment for not doing so being eternal torture. That your weaknesses can be absolved by the torture and murder of another human being. In short, Christianity.

Re: So what's not to like
"Like"? Was His concern ever to make Himself merely "likeable"? "Unobjectionable," maybe? A matter of neutrality and indifference, perhaps?
Hardly that!
