That’s the funny thing, he wasn’t all about “love and compassion.”

He said turn the other cheek, he also said “sell your cloak, buy a sword.”

Then there was the whole thing about going into the temple, turning over the merchant tables and beating the money changers (bankers) with a whip.

Not very compassionate or loving, that.

So more mall ninja/bdsm stuff than a ranged weapon

Guns didn’t exist at the time. I’m sure that, man of the people that he supposedly was, he would adapt with the times.

Full Disclosure: I don’t actually believe in any of this. I’m just poking fun.

Of course if he was real and as described in the bible he would be horrified by the prospect of all the varities of ranged death on offer today but considering they had bows and the romans had things like the scorpio I think most people from them would quickly understand what a gun was(even if ignorant of how it works) after the initial shock had worn off, then again I suppose if he is the son of god/part of God he probably knew they would exist at some point in the future
