Who cares?!

Seriously. Some second hand account of shit that maybe possibly happened 2,000 years ago and has no demonstrable reason why this is at all relevant to our lives.

Why is this worth attention at all? Let alone any attention from millions of people for thousands of years later. We need to move beyond this assumption that there is real meaning here.

Agreed, but it’s not just a second hand account, it may be dozens or hundreds of times rewritten by different people since some guy wrote it in the first place, with the intended meaning changed slightly each time until it’s indiscernible from the original. Not all that different from the tangents Reddit posts go off on.
