He was a carpenter?? So more like: his mistake was being an artisan in a society that only wants mass-produced cheap shit.

Or possibly a stone mason, weirdly.

Huh? I haven't heard of that before.

Right? The two words used in the bible that are translated, by tradition, into "carpenter" actually translate as "craftsman" and "builder". Jesus helped build houses, which at the time and in that region were made of stone. So there is some strong evidence that Jesus was a stone mason. To back that up, a lot of his parables used house-building as an aid.

We can't know for sure, but yeah! Kinda neat, huh?

Huh, that's interesting.
