Is our Lord a thunder god or war or an antifa rabbi?
"It’s also worth noting that Constantine’s gratitude for Jesus’s help at Milvian Bridge set a far-reaching precedent for European leaders. Constantine rarely understood Christianity, and nowhere is this behavior clearer than in his classification of Jesus as a “war god.” Countless European leaders, secular and clerical alike, would later call to Jesus’s name in an effort to either violently defend or spread the word of Christ. Fearless knights painted crosses on their shining armor; probing galleons embroidered the same on their massive sails. (A crusade, of course, means to take up the Cross.) Constantine and his successors used Jesus for their own ends, but Jesus, an anti-authoritarian pacifist, would never have endorsed the many conquerors who justified their violent actions in his name."

“Jesus” is supposed to be the Anglicized equivalent of the Greek “Iesous,” but really, if it is, it is troubling to say the least. The English name “Jesus” stems etymologically from “Jupiter-Zeus” - “J-Zeus” - “Je-sus,” - “Jesus” Some authorities, who have spent their entire lives studying the origins of names, believe that “Jesus” actually means— “Hail Zeus!” For Iesous in Greek is “Hail Zeus.” That is, “Ie” translates as “Hail” and “sous” or “sus” is Zeus.
