A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

If Jesus is the son of God and Satan is the oposite of God, a literal antichrist would be Satan's father, which would be God since God gave life to Satan (lemm.ee)

My favorite (probably inaccurate) point about the name "Jesus Christ": the name "Christ" means "anointed one", as you said. People were generally anointed by having oil poured on their head. "Jesus" is just contemporary form of the name "Joshua". So in another life, "Jesus Christ" could literally be translated as "Oily Josh".

I feel like if Jesus were alive now the name oily josh would be like that horrible childhood nickname that he hates
