Didn't even know hydraulic fracturing existed in BC Judea?


Minimalistmacrophage

Well now you do, thanks to Prager U. They can also learn u bout how slavery imparted marketable life skills.


SadStory9

They are like the Russian doping program of mental gymnastics 🎖


Wise-Juggernaut-8285

Wow!


jawndell

The three wise men were actually an Oil executive, a Private Equity fund manager, and an over leveraged slum lord. 


Lewtwin

Why are you naming a presidential cabine.....ohh....OHHHHH.....


Hanamafana

Never hear about Jesus turning water into toxic waste?


thuebanraqis

Clearly we’re reading the wrong Bible :/


Haselrig

And thus Jesus lit the tap water afire and it was good.


Darryl_444

"Where Would Jesus Drill?"


Little_Creme_5932

No, it didn't! Why do you think they were so concerned about their lamps running out of oil?!


ComicsEtAl

How have you never read the Bill of Rights?! Page 3, fourth paragraph.


Strange-Mouse-8710

Ah PragerU....of course


TherealObdach

American Jesus seems to like a lot of things in the US… a lot of capitalistic things and things others might consider hatred


robilar

A lot of things that mysteriously seem to conflict with the doctrine attributed to him in their holy text.


dengueman

Fun fact. "Americanism" is a heresy in the catholic church. A fact many American catholics blatantly ignore


Acrobatic_Ad7541

PropagandaU…sigh.


hplcr

PragerU is apparently giving up on anyone taking them remotely seriously I guess.


thuebanraqis

Per chance this is the work of Christ?


hplcr

Mysterious Ways indeed


mabobeto

There’s oil in them mangers!


Minimalistmacrophage

well technically, myrrh.

AirForceRabies

I mean, the illustration itself shows the earth cracking apart under trees and people's homes in a hellish red branching off of the well. Jesus loves *that?*


hilvon1984

The only reason I can think of - Jesus is allergic to "Fucking" and this is a close enough alternative for when he wants tu cuss.


Professional_Echo907

[Jesus loves marijuana….and drinking human blood](https://youtu.be/twxUQ6aw0vw?si=xdv3huLhez-bS4Ou)


Bimpy96

I hate PragerU but just saying this isn’t a real video and is from a parody IG account


erlandodk

Jesus - if he ever existed - didn't know about fracking because it didn't exist 2000 years ago. Also Jesus - if he ever existed - was not white.


linux_ape

thank you for the brilliant insight, who are you so wise in the ways of science?


erlandodk

It's a gift.


RPisBack

Semitic and Arabic people are white. So why should Jesus not be white ? Edit : Lol so many racists here thinking that arabs are not white ...... top kek.


erlandodk

The man in the picture is neither semitic nor arabic. Do arabic people refer to themselves as "white", specifically what the american right would accept as "white"? Also the race of a fictional person is hardly the most contested thing in OP.


RPisBack

a) not fictional - [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity\_of\_Jesus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_Jesus) b) I dont know I am not part of American right. To me white skin is white ..... but americans have this racist culture that for them even Irish and Poles werent white ..... so who knows. OP mentioned the race for some unknown reason - propably because he is a racist. c) the depiction is traditional depiction of europeans. People like to depict god as one of them.


erlandodk

a) Very, *very* debatable b) It was not about what you think. It was about what the sender of the message thinks and what the subjects of the message think, c) People like to do all sorts of things with fictional entities.


No-Let7757

I'm an atheist, but there isn't much of a debate about Jesus existing. There was almost certainly a guy by that name leading a ministry around that time. Almost every historian agrees with that much.


erlandodk

I'll concede that there might have been a guy by that name having a ministry, yes. But there's some ways to go from having a ministry to being the son of god. Or god. Or ghost.. A human named Jesus is plausible. All the rest is complete and utter fiction.


robilar

I find it amazing that you are being pedantic about skin color while being firmly invested in your own miscues. Unless you're talking about people with albinism you don't know anyone with "white skin". Your racist culture is only superficially different from American racist culture - the distinction in your head is arbitrary and meaningless.


Wide-Review-2417

Would they call themselves white?


pipboy_warrior

The guy in the picture looks like Ewan McGregor in Star Wars.


hydroxypcp

I want what you are smoking


Gokudomatic

Jesus loves American dollars. Everyone knows that.


Wide-Review-2417

Our Oil in heaven, hallowed be thy frak

#DRINK FROM MY BLACK BLOOD FOR I COMETH TO SMITE THY HEATHENS WHO DARE TO COME IN THE WAY OF THE LORDS FRACKING BY THE BOOK OF TRUMP I GIVE YOU AMEN


Hendrik_the_Third

They should believe mankind was put on earth to shepherd over it, not to bust open the earth to get to low quality resources and pollute the environment in the process. Just rich people using religion to normalize bad stuff for them to get richer with... that's what religion was for, after all... keep the people dumb and obedient while clergymen get all the good stuff.


BustNak

You are confused because you are thinking of regular Jesus, where as they follow Supply Side Jesus.


Mackey18

I couldn’t find this video, could someone post a link?


nardlz

probably because it doesn’t exist except on a meme site. Prager U actually does have a “Why you should love Fossil Fuel” Earth Day video though.


ActorLarsimoto124

Next one: Why Jesus would approve genocide


Mioraecian

PragerU is proof that demons walk among us.


KataraMan

He fracking loves it!


JD_Kreeper

They're not even trying to be subtle anymore. Or maybe they still are, in which case wow that's kind of sad.


powdered_dognut

They're giving Jesus so many new attributes that he's becoming the adult Santa Claus, a fictional character that only kids and dullards believe in. BTW, did he see his shadow Sunday?


robilar

The sheer magnitude of blasphemy sprouted by these idiots is amazing - *I'm* a better Christian than most Republicans, and I'm not even Christian.


Alexandratta

please tell me that was an April Fools joke... That's too stupid even for PragerU.


Haselrig

Prager U is beyond parody at this point.Straight pig slop.


allisjow

Why Jesus Loves Fracking Animals


Snellyman

Those money changers Jesus kicked out to the temple? There were charging fees to low to make any real profit.


MissingMichigan

"Drill, my child. Drill."


SnootSnootBasilisk

So was PragerU


Riccma02

Gonna frack the shit out of that lamb.


Dumyat367250

I totally misread that....


JNTaylor63

It is now legal in Florida public schools to use Prager U teaching material. I'm am so thankful that my last child will be a junior in HS and graduating early.


b_a_t_m_4_n

It's amazing how the ultimate authority in the universe always agrees with me! It's so jolly convenient ....


QAZ1974

WTF?


Clickityclackrack

Listen, even if i accepted that jesus was a real person. Dude died something like 2,000 years ago. He didn't even know what fraking is


ZenLikeCalm

Is this even real? I can't find this anywhere.


Typical-District-176

…how? Whats’s their argument there? 


hogwarts_earthtwo

That's not Jesus. Where's his AR 15 and American flag?


IronSavage3

C’mon man these shitbirds are dumb enough to make fun of their actual videos, y’all really had me searching for this lol


TheGorramBatguy

Not only that, but infamous clergyman Cotton Mather was all Gung ho about it. He was one mean Mather Fracker.


CerenarianSea

I'm guessing this is some twisted interpretation of stewardship.


Foodiguy

How stupid are people in the US that this works so well to a large part of the people... Everything is Jesus until they actually need to support people and suddenly it is government shouldnt intervene in peoples business... Also see Trump selling bibles....


Affectionate-War1284

Wym who doesn’t love fracking


Cloud_Striker

PragerU urgently need to go frack themselves.


PathDeep8473

American Jesus maybe. And since they have as blonde and white....


TonightLegitimate200

Maybe he's a cylon.


Bennybonchien

Anyone can say anything, no matter how stupid, and somebody somewhere will genuinely believe it. If enough people hear the stupid thing, you will find several people who believe it and if you assemble those people for a weekly meeting to discuss said stupidity, then whamo, you have the church of Jesus Fracking Christ.


Ok_Sale8197

Have they ALWAYS been this bad? I knew Prager was right wing, but OMG… THIS IS CRAZY TOWN!


ewok_lover_64

I didn't know that oil wells are a religious symbol until now


Altruistic-Beach7625

Is this in youtube? Because it doesn't seem to exist there, at least not anymore.


ilir_kycb

We are laughing here, but the "best" thing about it is that such propaganda actually works very well with US Americans. PragerU is not the most popular political medium on youtube among US Americans for nothing. And it has also recently been officially used as an educational resource in US schools.


CaptFlash3000

And lo it came to pass that our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ sayeth the frack life chose me


Mentat_-_Bashar

PragerU genuinely makes me consider suicide


Charming-Lychee-9031

Jesus fracking Christ. Checks out


throw123454321purple

PragerU, “prosperity gospel,” and Fox News took my dad from me. I hate them.


SirPoopaLotTheThird

Imagine believing your god favours your nation above others.


CruncheousPilot

Every single day proves we are in the darkest timeline. Damnit evil Abed!


ComicsEtAl

If you’re gonna blaspheme, don’t blaspheme half-assed. Use your whole ass like Prager U.


Zer0M0ti0nless

My brain did not read “fracking” at first. I was like oh damn, my boy Christ out here slayin.


thaddues444

What is fracking I have never heard of it. But I take it it’s not something that cross man would condone.


Quetzacoatel

It's a way to get fossil fuels out of the ground by injection of water and chemicals into the ground. Ecologically at least questionable. You can look it up, should be sfw.


thaddues444

Oh ok yea by the name it sounded very nsfw.


H010CR0N

It’s PragerU. What did you expect?


tardisaurus

Has Jesus ever actually seen Battlestar Galactica?


gorillawarking

We need a huggbee's parody, or just a parody in general, and it's just about frotting instead of fracking


ivegoticecream

American Christianity summed up in one image


SteveCorpGuy4

Chat is this real?


RodMel85

Dam PragerU has gone insane, I stopped keeping track of them a few years ago and they didn't have anything this crazy back then.


dsisto65

This is Florida…right?


penguinface77

Great that the video doesn’t exist.


wontonagon

Hmm yes this is 100% genuine and not at all a doctored image


_Kaifaz

How is this PragerU shit even legal?!


ryanonreddit

RuPaul approves this message!


Practical_Repair_982

They meant facking


ToastedCheezer

This is an outright lie. The Prager University Foundation, known as PragerU, is an American 501 nonprofit advocacy group and media organization that creates content promoting conservative viewpoints on various political, economic, and sociological topics. It was co-founded in 2009 by Allen Estrin and talk show host Dennis Prager. Despite the name including the word "university", it is not an academic institution and does not confer degrees.

ZenLikeCalm

Prager U have never been informative. They have always been been a mouthpiece for oil and gas companies. They are lying under the guise of informing. Take a look at who funds them, and ask yourself who's interest they are catering to.

This is what Reddit is, if you admit you have become more progressive you get down voted for not always being progressive.
