"Humans make the same stupid mistakes over and over again"

This sentence comes from Jesus, who once served as a preacher in history to persuade people to do good - John's meaningful words to his son in the film.

Why was he nailed to the cross? Why did he lie at the end and say it's a story?

Seeing the reaction of those people to his words, they will always be limited only by their own ideas and knowledge, by the conventional rules and concepts of human beings.

They cannot accept and understand aliens, and cannot stand anything that challenges the doctrine of authority in their minds. So they are indignant, excited, crying, paranoid, tough, and want to send this lunatic to a lunatic asylum, or to study at the Academy of Sciences.

I wonder, was the real Jesus tortured and tortured for this reason? So he didn't want to say it at first, and later denied calling it a script.

What made him feel ironic was that his very simple act of persuading kindness back then was completely overturned by countless descendants to attend the meeting, and even deified him and turned him into a person that he himself hated. The twisted thing, but instead won the whole world's convincing.

People, can never reverse the projection of others on you, your projection in the hearts of others.

People will always use their own hearts to filter everything and seek like-minded friends. No matter what your leader's intention is, who care?

When everyone thought it was a scam at the end, everyone was relieved, happy, and left happily, their friend was normal, not a superman or a god, great, he wasn't crazy either!


Woohoo, sad human beings.
