Perhaps.

He reposts a lot of good stuff, over and over and over. I'm not sure if it's helpful, lazy, or part of a strategy to earn karma/trust/whatever. I suspect it may be a bit of all of the above. Regardless, like all of us, he has his viewpoints and agendas, limited and human. I still think he's one of the good ones, despite now obviously seeing the issues with Jesus, who I also hold in high regard, but was also shocked by a few things Jesus said in that post TAM made a couple weeks back when they banned me, again.

I'm not sure you are referring to the same thing, but I had a similar experience recently.

IIRC, you were among the few who challenged some of his absurdity. Oddly, even before that I had at least a couple respected users at different times asking me if Jesus had lost it. After the second time I kept my eyes open hadn't actually started looking. Until that TAM post I always thought that, besides the religious dogma, Jesus was 99+% accurate, good at recalling how influencers are compromised, limited hangouts, or their guilt by association, and of course he nails it on Zionism even if hes presents it with an indigestible heavy hand. But in that TAM post my faith in Jesus was shaken in a few comments that not only seemed out of character but without objectivity on some simple things. Reluctantly I have to drop my faith in Jesus to 95%.

Yes, it is disappointing when what we thought to be a perfect source of objectively factual information turns out to have even the slightest taint of something else.

But in the end we are all simple mortals and trusting ourselves the most is a heavy burden. That's why there are so many sheeple.

Truth.
