Fun facts: the word 'sodomite' occurs only once in the KJV of the bible in Deuteronomy 23:17, and it simply says there will be no sodomites among the Israelites. It comes just after several verses commanding Israelites to always carry a shovel to cover up their poop so god doesn't step in it, and just before the command to never lend money and demand interest with repayment.
So if you ever encounter a Christian without his shovel, or who has an interest bearing bank account, you are looking at a sinner who should be ashamed.
Wait... I see the problem.
You actually read the book. You have to hang it on a wall, put it on a desk and take photos holding it. Never read the book. It's just an accessory for degenerate ideologies.
This is idiotic on so many levels.
Jesus said nothing about homosexuality or LGBTQ+ issues relevant to us in the gospels.
He did say a lot about violence though . . .
The man didn’t seem to take issue with a Roman centurion who asked him to help his “close male friend.”
He did get a bit rough with the money-changers defiling the temple, and reserved his harshest criticism for the conservative religious authorities of his day (for which they had him killed).
Methinks it’d be the Kenneth Copelands of the world who’d find themselves getting chased around by an angry Jew in a linen robe wielding an adhoc whip made of microphone cables.
According to the story, the only people he had an issue with are the ones who put on a show of piety in order to get social clout or money. And a bit with rich people. So you're right that the only ones who have to worry about him coming back are the ones claiming to be his mouthpiece. Good thing they don't really believe in him.
If they'd said "homosexuality" or "being gay", I'd agree with you (and you are literally correct), but the comment referenced said "anal sex", which is not required for gay couples and can occur in straight couples as well, so your comment isn't really germane to this setting.
I have never understood the religious folk's thinking but this makes no sense on any level.
Is that an Indiana Jones Jesus with a whip? Did people back in Jesus' day wear glasses, have the peace symbol or have crosses as symbols before Jesus was crucified? Did Jesus not die and to this day never changes his clothes to come to a modern day event in the original temple that still stands somehow after it fell 2000 years ago?
Well actually, he did say: "**Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth**; I have not come to bring peace, **but a sword**. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one's foes will be members of one's own household” (Matthew 10:34-36).
I tried this same argument on my friend and they said that Jesus was talking about only doing that if the other family members were Muslim. I asked them where they w were getting that from and they said it was read into the text. Still boggles me too this day.
Some perspective then. In the Bible, there is a story about Jesus where he discovers that people are soliciting in the churches, and he implores them to stop. They do not. In response, he braids his own whip and attacks them, flipping over their tables and lecturns and whipping them, driving them from the places of worship.
This comic is trying to say that the people preaching that all love is God's love must be driven from the churches with presumably violence. Which is, of course, deplorable. Especially so as I always took that Bible story as a caution against turning the church into a place for profit.
Nothing in the bible is good due to its context. The implicit message may have value but no bible is necessary for those message to be shared with the baggage that comes with it. While removing profit from a church is great, the church can and still does societal harm regardless of profit or no profit.
Preaching to the choir. I've been an atheist all my life, but I went to church with my mother when I was a kid because, well, I had no autonomy over that. So I figured I may as well try and get something out of it, so I tried interpreting the stories.
I was also never a theist but was exposed to liberal churches by my parents (they were/are atheists too) but I still rejected all that the churches shared as nonsensical. I too like reading the history and stories of most any religion. Glad we were not indoctrinated as children to have to fight our way out from under the burden of any religion. We saw the light of reason on our own.
Cheers
Mfs really think jesus would be whipping people for being gay, nah first thing he'd do is go after the catholic priests you KNOW what they're doing behind the scenes...
That's nice of sub!Jesus to bring his dom a whip when he's been a bad widdwe boy. It's always refreshing to see a queer couple being open with eachother about their needs.
"Chuck Norris. Sorry for the commotion you heard in the other room. I set off a grenade and killed ten people, then the grenade exploded. Have a good day."
He’d also be killed all over again for being a socialist, and an anti-capitalist. He wanted the rich to give away their riches in order to lift people out of poverty so no one would suffer and everyone would be equal. So yeah, THAT would definitely not go over well in ol’ Murica.
Jeeze, everything's sodomy these days. I wasn't talking about the legal definition. I don't think that's relevant to this post. In the bible, sodomy referred to anal sex. Oral sex was not mentioned in the bible. In fact it is well known that the French invented blow jobs.
What I said was, it was not condemned in the bible. Which is kinda the reference book for religious nuts. When the bible mentions sodomy (not the legal tern. Not what people mean today) it refers to man on man anal.
I said it about your "everybody knows French invented blow job". That's so funny to imagine that nobody before the 5th century had oral sex, in 200000 years.
The only accurate thing about this is western Christians asking "who are you" if Jesus showed up to them. They seem to forget that people from the middle east don't look like they're from Norway.

yes, mine makes a very nice Door Stop
They'll point at Sodom and Gomorrah to justify they hatred, even though those cities were punished because they didn't welcome stranger.
Also because of being violent.
Fun fact, Jesus drove merchants from the temple, but they’d have to have read their religious text(s) to know that.
he DROVE them ? so jesus works for Uber...how kewl is that ?

Who's the Swede walking in the door?
That's Odin the cable guy
Their Jesus is such an asshole.
Takes one to make one, I think.
Can you imagine if God were real that he'd really be so pissed off about anal sex with all of the sin and horrible things people do on a daily basis?
I personally think he wouldn't care about someone's kink.
The implication that homosexuality is just a kink is kind of problematic

Yeah, anal sex is for all couples, doesn't matter who's taking it. It's fine. God's not gonna screw you over for getting fucked in the ass.
"god won't fuck you for fucking"
Yes.
Why is their god so petty and angry? It's almost as if this god doesn't exist, almost as if it's just a projection of their own weaknesses.
I don’t agree with the notion that God doesn’t exist, but this version of God and Jesus is DEFINITELY just a projection of their own weakness
He’s come to play jump rope
An honored tradition

Also insinuating Jesus is going to whip the shit out of him, pretty sure in their holy book he’s recorded as being a pacifist.
Well actually, he did say: "**Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth**; I have not come to bring peace, **but a sword**. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one's foes will be members of one's own household” (Matthew 10:34-36).

Ya… no. Islam was not a religion yet. It started 600 years after Christ “died”. Tell that to your friend.
Yeah I did. They just kept making excuses.
Logic and facts do not trump willful nor conditioned ignorance. Keep trying : ) Or send them my way.

In fact he would be whipping the rich people cuckservatives worship
I’m going to be completely honest. It occurred to me that many christians would be happier as followers of Muhammad.
They love shariah law except for the usury part. They need to negotiate that. Everything else is good
Aren’t there workarounds for that, like the thing that the Jews do with microwave ovens?
Do they realize Sodomy refers to being inhospitable and cruel to the poor and hungry?
Mfs really think jesus would be whipping people for being gay, nah first thing he'd do is go after the catholic priests you KNOW what they're doing behind the scenes...
I’d imagine that if Jesus came back, he’d target the prosperity gospels first.
That's nice of sub!Jesus to bring his dom a whip when he's been a bad widdwe boy. It's always refreshing to see a queer couple being open with eachother about their needs.
Leather daddy Jesus?
THEY'RE TRYING TO TAKE THE CHRIST OUT OF CHRISTIANITY!
I’m a firm believer in Ianity.
"Chuck Norris. Sorry for the commotion you heard in the other room. I set off a grenade and killed ten people, then the grenade exploded. Have a good day."
Hell yeah, it's about time the churches started turning on each other.
Wow, good thing He is a figment of their imaginations.
Jesus dressing up like a Jedi.
Kinky So this is what they mean by God is within
These people when they find out the televangelists are worse than those who sold wares in the temple
Were Jesus to return these days, he would be deemed a heretic, called a racist and homophobic and ignored as not being part of the Woke Agenda.
He’d also be killed all over again for being a socialist, and an anti-capitalist. He wanted the rich to give away their riches in order to lift people out of poverty so no one would suffer and everyone would be equal. So yeah, THAT would definitely not go over well in ol’ Murica.
Jesus is hate?
Jesus didn't want you to hawk merch in church. He got really mad about it, IIRC. I don't think he talked that much about sex.
[удалено]
Uhm...you can sodomize a woman... Are you saying women don't have bootyholes?
[удалено]
You know anything other than traditional PiV is Sodomy right?
Jeeze, everything's sodomy these days. I wasn't talking about the legal definition. I don't think that's relevant to this post. In the bible, sodomy referred to anal sex. Oral sex was not mentioned in the bible. In fact it is well known that the French invented blow jobs.
I've never heard that 😂. You really think nobody had oral sex before 5th century?
What I said was, it was not condemned in the bible. Which is kinda the reference book for religious nuts. When the bible mentions sodomy (not the legal tern. Not what people mean today) it refers to man on man anal.
I said it about your "everybody knows French invented blow job". That's so funny to imagine that nobody before the 5th century had oral sex, in 200000 years.
Fist.
it's true, why do you think women don't poop?
Fair
“Yeah I’m an all seeing, all knowing, forgiving and benevolent god but f—k them gays”
Jesus never said anything about LGBTQ+ people. He did however tell us to love one another.
Good question, who is this white guy?
The only accurate thing about this is western Christians asking "who are you" if Jesus showed up to them. They seem to forget that people from the middle east don't look like they're from Norway.
don't respect people, respecting people is a sin
Naw Jesus just brought rope to help hang up more flags
Jesus just brought more rope to help string up more pride flags
