Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I took you seriously until you tried to propose that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene

I don't think it's a popular take among religious scholars at all, but from a non-religious view, I don't see why not. There's a lot about Jesus' life that's been altered throughout the years.

Also worth mentioning Barabbas’s first name was also Jesus (or Yeshua) which if it were made up, wouldn’t make any sense why a criminal would be given the same name.

Barabbas' name means "son of the father", which already sounds oddly specific in this context.

Was a common name. Even shows up in the talmud

Sure, they didn't invent the first name out of thin air, but given that there is no source outside the bible that this "freeing a prisoner condemned to death" practice had ever been done before, I think it makes a lot more sense.
