    Who gives a toss about specific quotes like that? They’re mistranslated copy of telephone game word of mouth of stuff random people came up with hundreds of years after Jesus died. And that quote could just be saying don’t call you dad ‘father’ - which is just stupid.

        I am personally really in the gnostic branches of early Christianity.

        Those have Jesus mock his followers for worshipping jaweh, which is the devil.

        My modern reading about those texts is:

        • Myths are a way to pass on knowledge.
        • Myths are frequently taken for religion.
        • People who are religious, rather then spiritual philosophers are dumb.

        Post-theism 2000 years before Cultural Christians became popular in Europe.
