That’s the thing with jesus, he was really repetitive.

There’s one of those churches on my bus route to work. Thought it was just a one off.

There is no historical evidence that Jesus ever existed.
Only in 325, the Council of Nicaea decided by a small majority of votes, that Jesus was divine.
His image has changed a lot throughout the years. In early years he was hardly depicted and when he was, he looked like a clean shaven Greek god. In the Byzantine era he was depicted as authoritative. In medieval Western Europe, his suffering was mostly depicted. In the renaissance, he was depicted as a human. After reformation, he was more depicted by symbols. And after that, there were many more changes.
Culturally, Jesus has been seen at different times as:
• Cosmic King → Byzantine Empire
• Judge of the world → Medieval Christianity
• Moral philosopher → Humanism
• Social revolutionary → Liberation Theology
• Therapeutic comforter → modern Western culture
