I get that it’s a meme, but “scapegoat” would be a better comparison than “Jesus”, as there is nothing holy about that whole situation.

Scapegoat implies he wasn't also a pedophile.

The whole thing about Jesus is that he was without sin and that's why he could die for the sin of others. That's at least one Christology but the only one relevant here I guess. Not all Christians subscribe to the "Jesus died for our sin" idea but those who do basically say "he is out scapegoat"

Just wait until they release the list ... it'll have a few holes.

Unfortunately, it's very hard to trust any such list. If he had any sense, he would have also added a few extra names over the years of people who he just didn't like, or those he wanted to manipulate. Scumbags be scumbaggy, whether rich or poor.

That said, all implications and accusations should be thoroughly investigated, and if corroborated by victims and/or witnesses, and then be brought to public trial or just made public if the reasonably accused is dead.
