...but I am okay with that now.

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. Jonah is the guy who got eaten by a fish.  Classic story.  He was a prophet, but one day God gave him a mission he didn't want to take.  The city of Nineveh was being evil, and God wanted Jonah to tell them to stop.  Out of fear, Jonah instead hitched a ride on a boat headed in the other direction.  As the boat sailed, however, a storm appeared.  The sailors all assumed God was angry at Jonah, so they tossed him overboard and the storm ended.  Before Jonah drowned, God sent a giant fish to swallow him and keep him alive.  While stuck inside the fish, Jonah apologized to God for running away, and after that, the fish vomited Jonah up on the shore, and Jonah went to Nineveh and warned the people.  To his surprise, the people listened and changed their ways. 2. In this cartoon, Jonah warns the people of Nineveh to change their ways before God destroys them.  He lists a few ways God might exact His justice upon the city.  The last thing he mentions -- the fish thing -- sounds a little out of place as a punishment for a whole city.  That's because the fish thing is actually the way God acted His justice upon Jonah only a short time before he came to Nineveh.  Jonah is still a little bitter.

By some small miracle, one copy of this misprinted 1651 Bible escaped Messrs Bilton and Scaggs’ attempts to destroy the entire run. I’ve had numerous offers to buy it over the years, and two attempted thefts, but here it is and here it will remain.

god enters holy ground today. starts apologizing with his body—flipping tables; begging his friends not to leave him alone, not even in their sleep; killing himself on a cross. god is bad at apologizing, and maybe he will make up for it in a week. but for now, god takes his shoes off, lets his feet touch the palms. drags himself into holy week on a donkey because even though this god wants the cup to pass him, he knows that prophecy has to matter somehow

Jesus said, "By their fruit you will recognize them." (Matthew 7:16 NIV) The Saviour knew that many false prophets and teachers would try to deceive us, and that's why He warned us to put people to the test by examining their actions. He told us not to just pay attention to their words, but to look at how they live. He said: "Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep, but are really wolves that will tear you apart. You can detect them by the way they act, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit." (Matthew 7:15-16 ) Jesus goes on to say: "Not all people who sound religious are really godly. They may refer to Me as 'Lord,' but they still won't enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The decisive issue is whether they obey My Father in heaven." (Matthew 7:21)
No matter how good or convincing someone sounds, if he is bearing bad fruit, his message should be rejected. Godly teachers will display good “fruit”.
While we can never know anyone else’s heart, we can make wise assessments by observing the fruit of their lives. . We can definitely identify those whose hearts have been redeemed, by the fruit we see in their lives.

Time Travel Question : Medievalish History 8 and Earlier
These Questions are the result of suggestions from the previous iteration.
This category may include suggestions made too late to fall into the correct earlier time grouping. Basically, I'd already moved on to human history, but I'd periodically get a pre-homin suggestion, hence the occasional random item waaay out of it's time period, rather than reopen the category.
In some cases a culture lasted a really long time and I grouped them by whether it was likely the later or earlier grouping made the most sense with the information I had. (Invention ofs tend to fall in an earlier grouping if it's still open. Ones that imply height of or just before something tend to get grouped later, but not always. Sometimes I'll split two different things from the same culture into different polls because they involve separate research goals or the like).
Please add new suggestions below if you have them for future consideration. All cultures and time periods welcome.

Your iteration of Jesus is complete fanfic ripped off from the bible and you reduce him to a hype man for your favorite rapist. He wouldn't support your pedophile prophet who married 6 year old Aisha and raped her when she was 9. Also Muhammad was white (not in ethnicity, but in skin tone, with auburn beard and marshmellow in his hair, and liked white/lighter skinned women and girls.) That rapist, pillaging, murderer could never be a true prophet, Allah is his Original Character. He is in hell like his mother and his father. POLICE BE UPON HIM, Ham lalala
The story of how prophet Mohammad PBUH got the Qur'an is literally told in detail in the bible.
The sayings about him and Aisha are baseless sayings with no real evidence. All we know is that he didn't marry her at an alarmingly young age, because if he did then all his enemies would attack him for it the way you are now.
He is because that's the color of the people in the area he lives in. Same way Jesus PBUH is light brown because that's the color of the people in the area he lives in.
If he was just some murderer/warmonger then his religion wouldn't be the fastest growing one. 2 billion people wouldn't be muslim. One in every four people wouldn't be on his religion.
"Allah" is the word for God or Deity in all the Semitic languages including Aramaic (The language Jesus PBUH spoke)
You've spoken of Jesus multiple times yet not once did you say PBUH or give him a shred of the respect he deserves. Seems to me you just enjoy hating Islam because you were taught so from youth.
Sheeesh. Seems like hate speech is always wrong until it's about Muslims.
Anyway, I wanted to let you know that Palestine will be free in case you're a zionist or something.
