There is a lot of spite in your comment bro.
Yeah, so?
Jesus wasn't a carpenter either. He was the son of a carpenter and that more likely translates better to day laborer. It was a reflection of his very humble origins. Being the son of a man in a trade (like a carpenter) would have put him more middle class.
Who says that the person you replied to named themselves after that Jesus?

Jesus and his father were likely stone workers, not carpenters. The translations got jumbled up along the way.
There historically was a stone quarry about a mile from where Jesus lived as a child. That area also wasn't home to a lot of trees.
There is also a lot of house and stone work parables in the his teachings, and references to corner stones multiple times.
Jesus was a stone worker, not a wood worker. His name was also Yeshua, or "Joshua" as we know it today.
That's really interesting. Thanks!
