Ignoring the obvious joke, she doesn't display any of Jesus's qualities. Is she gentle, caring, and compassionate? Does she humbly serve the poor and the disadvantaged? Does she forgive her enemies and bless those who oppose her? Does she sacrifice for the benefit of others!?

I'm a Christian and while I don't know for certain, I believe God knows the heart. But I don't expect to see her in Heaven...

Disagree.

She has long hair. Ok, not specified in the bible, but it's canon at this point.

Also the episode of Jesus whoring at the theatre... Wait what is this bible?

For a moment I really thought there was something in the bible that could be seen as Jesus "whoring at the theater"

[–] frezik@midwest.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Might be in one of the Gnostic gospels.

Brawndon 6:4-7 And thus went Big J to the theatre, for Pagliacus was in town. But when the spectacle started, Jesus was overcome by the lust of whoring. And so it came to pass that he was brought to the tribunal for indecent exposure, and whoring, and petty theft and also grand theft auto, bribery, and contempt, and illegal possession of firearms, and possession and sale of drugs, and illegal possession of a dangerous animal.

Jesus had hair like lamb's wool, canonically.

i've heard about this supply-side jesus doing miracles. she pretty much raised some dead tent there.

Seems like "Christianity" and "following Jesus' teachings, words, and example" are completely at odds. I appreciate what you are saying. Why don't we hear Jesus Followers calling out "Christians" more vocally and often? I'd expect more of a break in the church at this point, but it seems like a fairly united front to me even now.

I have to conclude that the vast majority of Christians are fine with people being shitty as long as they identify as Christian.

[–] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 years ago

There are Unitarian churches and similar places of worship that don't allow this bigotry.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

Absolutely, they're at-odds! Church attendance is down and people like me will now walk out if the pastor/leadership starts talking about following Trump. As for why that is, I don't know. I think people have been following money and power rather than Jesus for a while now...

Jesus would've given handies in the cinema if he was asked.

MAGA Christian, which is the majority of "Christians".

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 0 points 2 years ago

I can't tell which part you're replying to. Are you saying I'm MAGA!? I agree that unfortunately most "Christians" are, but I dare you to check my history...

Give atheism a try, you won't regret it.
