Wait, if Joseph was a carpenter, does that mean he likely made

The Jews didn't crucify people, so I'm not sure they'd be making the crosses for the Romans.

Reminder that if you consider yourself an oldfag and you have never watched the Greatest Story Never Told then you are disillusioning yourself about 4chan culture.

Jesus being a carpenter emerged out of a mistranslation of the Greek Word "Tekton." Meaning "Craftsman." Anyone occupying a skilled job.

>Anyone occupying a skilled job.
So what was his alleged job?

>>1981460

You don't need a skilled carpenter to nail two pieces of lumber at a perpendicular angle.

The idea was that your illiterate, unskilled legionaries could quickly slap together a shit load of them in time to string up a bunch of traitors and leave them dying on the side of the road to remind people the cost of opposing the Roman government.

Joseph's status as a skilled laborer meant that his family was neither destitute nor affluent, but probably what we would consider the lower middle class or working class.

came here to post this

6 out of 14 threads on the frontpage of /his/ are about religion. This is less than the average.

I fucking hate it. We need a dedicated religion board.

>>1982485
This is an OK religion thread since we're not shitposting dogma or MUH X IS TRUE THAN YOUR Y but instead the particulars of historic text.

>>1982420
SOmetimes, given that crucifixion is not standard at all, you just need one plank to tie/nail the guy up to.

>>1982485
All of the religion threads are "bait tier" joke threads doubt anyone posting is actually serious or christian

>>1982509
this. we don't need to get rid of religion threads, just stupid shit like this and the creationism threads.

>>1981544
>>1981561
I don't like it too, but /pol/ now runs this site. Good thing that I can still minimize or filter them.

IT'S LIKE POTTERY

Talking about human history without religion is like trying to come up with a comprehensive theory of human behavior that doesn't include sex. You're blatantly omitting a hugely influential aspect of human behavior.

If you don't like religion threads then it's simple: don't click on them.
