"Plot hole" its a contenporary meme thing to say. Trying to aply that to a thousands year old book is retarded in so many ways. And im an atheist. Being an atheist and attack the bible is like atacking the illiad because "it doesnt make sense, theres gods and shit muh reason"

muslim here: Jesus didn't come with an easy message, messages of radical socialism and overturning the ruling class in favor of a non-consumerist worldview has always been met with hostility, hence the sword.
the son being set against the father is the new ideology being set against the old. The child of this age must rebel against the man of the old age.
