Jesus’s teachings that promote well-being emerged from a cherry-picking of his supposed sayings. None of his ‘good’ words were unique to his time, nor were they invented by him. Others, even before Jesus, had said or implemented these ideas through their actions, long before writing systems were developed. Furthermore, there are many modern aspects of morality that these sayings do not address, making them insufficient as a guide for contemporary moral behavior. But the real question is: why focus on Jesus and not the ideas themselves? When people elevate idols over the essence of the message, they lose the true meaning.
Additionally, in Greece, discussions about philosophy often turn into idolization of philosophers, with more emphasis placed on their names than on the evolving concepts themselves.
Moreover, this tendency to idolize figures over ideas happens across all fields of research, from philosophy to science, where the focus often shifts to the names behind theories rather than the validity and development of the concepts themselves.
