      I honestly think Jesus would be a little embarrassed to have people hanging on his every word and ascribing meanings to it in the form of a book report on them every Sunday that he probably didn’t mean. It’s nice to teach us how to treat others and so on, but people loudly assuring others that Jesus loves them; well I have trouble believing Jesus thinks a lot of child predators and rapists myself. And I like what Jesus taught, but I don’t think everyone in the world is salvageable.

    Seriously Jesus. You’re a cool guy, and I know your thing is you take in the broken, but your other thing was suppose to be love. Like you said one commandment, love, and that shit is severely lacking.

      I think the person Jesus actually was loved everyone, but the trouble is conservative people hate gay people and rewrote the texts to say that.

        Yeah, Jesus, the historical figure was trying to reshape Judaism. He wanted to reform things and he wanted the focus to be on loving your brother. He got killed for it and he knew it would kill him because he was hanging out with the religious leaders.

        Then by a miracle he succeeded because he didnt have any transgressions against the temple and he followed Jewish teachings but was still setup to be crucified in the worst way imaginable.

        Then after that he was co-op’d for other purposes but his message is still true. Believing in christ is believing a man named Jesus lived and he was killed by no fault of his own but for the benefit of others.

        Being a Christian means you understand Christ’s message. Its real easy, love your brother, and you live in a way that reflects that.

        Well… A lot of their biblical evidence is less a rewrite and more of a translation issue. Take the whole Sodom and Gehmorra story about tje two angels that everyone is so keen to turn into a condemnation of the gays.

        In the OG text the words used to describe the angels were analog to genderless forms of the word “master” and because there were two of them they were always referred to by genderless they/them plural… Which is probably why there were two of them. We are probably supposed to imply the perceived gender of the angels was irrelevant to the tale.

        The first Latin and English translations off of Hebrew however used gendered terms for the two angels that coded them as male. Stuff like “Masters” “Lords” that kind of thing in large part because those societies were respectively fairly misogynistic and not primed to interpret either of the two genderless entities as possibility female coded. Then you see the anti same sex interpretation gain popularity in the case of England and France at the time they were going through a population crash via plague which caused amoung other things criminalization of same sex unions as a threat to sexual replacement of a sharply diminished population. So really we can trace this story being interpreted as God’s condemnation of the gays rather then just regular old rapists around the same time the word “sodomy” came into the lexicon in the 1300’s and the first waves of plague.

    I like how the Amazing Apartheid Boy is trying to do a Trump scowl - and it manages to look just as characteristically fake as Trump’s does.

    Does Musk still have a fan base? I haven’t seen anyone speak favourably of him for a very long time.

    I mean, as a high schooler I enjoyed ba with da bah and whatever else was on that album. I still find some enjoyment in those songs, but I think it’s mostly nostalgia.

    Not sure what my point is. Shame he’s a conservative piece of shit. As an adult I’m not exactly surprised.

    Don’t agree. I’m not Christian, but I would replace Jesus with Steve Jobs. Or just the apple logo.

      Jobs is a bit too dated a reference. I’d probably replace what’s his face on the top left with someone more relevant, though (or Apple as you suggest, they are indeed annoying).

        The first three go into the same bag. So the fourth should also fit. Maybe an American flag? Or better yet, an AR15!

      We have an extremely small sub-sub-section of Christians in Germany who bust a nut over their persecution fetish so hard, they move into the US.

      Thanks for taking those USA. You’re the real MVP 🇺🇸
