The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control. Turning things around, I don’t think Jesus is just like Trump.
Jesus wasn’t orange… for one.
Yeah, but if he existed he would almost certainly have been a person of color.
Not really… there was no such thing as “white” back then - which mean no “people of colour,” either.
He would definitely be classified as such according to the totally rational race caste system we can’t seem to exist without today.
Wait, are you trying to say that northern Europeans didn’t exist 2000 years ago? Or are you trying to say that people back then didn’t discriminate based on skin color?
that northern Europeans didn’t exist 2000 years ago?
“White” is an invented thing - and a pretty recent one, too. There is no such thing as a “white” race - not today, nor 2000 years ago. It only exists in the head of a person that has been taught to see the world through the lens of white supremacism - ie, “scientific racism” - which we are almost all subjected to from birth no matter our (supposed) “race.”
We all know he was as white as the new fallen snow!
/s
Don’t forget the blue eyes… and the flowing semi-golden locks.
So we are listening to magic: the gathering now?
Someone else called her Empty-G, which is more fitting.
As much as I love seeing this joke every single time her initials are brought up, there are all kinds of acronyms and abbreviations which have double meanings depending on context.
It would be like if every time someone wrote a history article about something taking place before the first century, someone said, “oh, I thought we were talking about British Columbia.”
I thought I was being original :(
Crucify him, then.
I have some spare lumber we can use.
I’ve got a hammer.
I’ll bring the nails
I’ll bring the sinners
AND MY AXE
You’re going to need a stronger 2x4.
I have some 6x4s
Do You want an even dumber version of Christianity?
There already is one.The remake came out 600 years after the original.
TBF, they’re both equally as dumb.

Lets not. I thought for awhile “hehe lets see how dumb we can go before people stop and realize how dumb they are”. But they’re not stopping. Everyday they surprise me with how incredibly fucking dumb the average person is.

Yes?
Just like Trump, Jesus was famous for stiffing carpenters back in the day.
Modern Day Donald Trump: Doesn’t pay contractors
Historical Sexy Gay Jesus: Stiffs other carpenters
You’re falling victim to a translation error.
When I worked as operations manager in a contracting company we had an installer named Jesus. He was a young guy, illegal immigrant trying to support his family back home.
I was gonna tell a funny anecdote about how he smoked a joint on lunch break and ended up installing a door backwards and trapped an old lady in her house, but then I remembered that my boss would hire illegals like him because he could get away with paying them far below minimum wage and fire them for any passing mood he had, he delighted in punishing struggling people and didn’t view them as human. I, the only white guy working with them and I started there counting screws and doing all the same shit work they did, learned a lot of really funny or vulgar spanish, I got to know them all as people and made friends and I wonder even nearly 20 years later what happened to some of them.
Jesus was deported when my boss called a “tip” into immigration services because he thought Jesus was lazy. Jesus was 19, it was not only his first job, it was his first job in a foreign country surrounded by people he doesn’t know, living alone, no education or legal protection. He needed help, not cruelty.
So yeah, when people say “Jesus was treated unfairly” I always nod in agreement.
Bet your boss was a raging “Christian”.
And she is a Putin Puppet.
Broken record here, but isn’t he basically the false prophet antichrist we were warned about at this point?
My liberal yet religious mother says no but that’s my only source lol
Just like HER Jesus, that is.
No no, her perverted idea. Jesus only has one form, and it’s not up to her imagination.
Hi. I see that you’re religious. Have you met other religious people before?
Am I the only one who sees her name and thinks “why is magic the gathering saying political stuff?”
I have had at least one other comment like that on a Lemmy post, so no. Unless that was you lol
Hahaha wasn’t me but every time that’s the first thing I think. I don’t really even play MTG. Randomly dabbled on and off for years.
Imagine if we started calling her MT Greene and people respond like “The Mountain said WHAT?!”
Will we one day get treated to the sight of MTG going down on a life-sized Trump sex doll on the stage in front of a thousand MAGats, all speaking in tongues?
You have a weird definition of “treat”
Don’t kink shame me.
Remember when Jesus came for Mary Magdalena? They went to make miracles after he came for her. Just like Trump. Trump tried to come for Stormy but he couldn’t come. There was a delay. But hey he was naked and such. He was pretty much there, almost as if he came.
I’m surprised she didn’t extend that to, “and both were persecuted by Jews!”
That would be a great counterexample to the anti-zionism == anti-semitism law. Zionist and anti-semitic 🔥🤯
“All Jews should move to Israel” is absolutely part-and-parcel with ethnic-nationalism common to both MTG and Donald Trump.
Yeah, antisemitic jackasses can’t handle having a neighbor holding a mitzvah. Fuck that shit American Jews are Americans and belong here just as much as the rest of us.
As a Jew who does not support Israel’s apartheid or genocide (I’m not even particularly interested in visiting apart from the archaeology) and does not believe in any sort of ethnostate, I consider myself a better counterexample.
Do you even exist? 🧐 May I see some identification please? Anything to prove you’re a real jew?
/heavysarcasm-nonemeantforreal
“Papers, please.”
Oof
Zionism has always been antisemitic.
Sigh, one of these days we’ll place the blame where it really belongs. On the Italians. Who told people to blame the Jews for Jesus? That’s right the Roman Catholic Church.
It’s not like we’re going to start coming to agreement that religious leaders are prone to corruption regardless of what religion it is, and that this is especially true in tumultuous times and places like Roman Judea in the early Julian Dynasty.
Well she knows what works on her constituents you have to give her that.
Of all the possible similarities to biblical Jesus that one could pick, that is definitely one.
For Trump? That’s pretty much the only one.
Both were involved in a political spat in the Levant.
To be fair, Trump also hangs out with prostitutes. The difference there is how the prostitutes were treated.
He does have a lot in common with Paul though. Asshole, telling people what to do while not giving a shit what Jesus said, hating homosexuals, and telling people how pious he is. Oh, and Republicans also care more about what he has to say than what Jesus said.
Ah, but the difference…
Yehoshua “Jesus” ( Iosa, actually, according to a Roman friend I had ) benJoseph was:
- falsely-convicted
- by legalists
- whom benJoseph had consistently shown to be hypocrites, &
- they were using legalism to convict him, to get even with him.
Trump, however, admitted in court that “Mother Theresa couldn’t beat these charges” or something like that:
Trump was convicted:
- fair & square
- honestly,
- of actual-crimes
- he himself committed.
“Just like Jesus” my arse.
_ /\ _
He was not falsely convicted.
Jesus claimed to be a king. The Roman’s took that literally. He was given a chance by Pilate to recant, and doubled down.
That’s what he was executed for (Rebellion, inciting insurrection. All that nastiness.)
Sure, his followers took it metaphorically, but he had an opportunity and doubled down on it.
Sure the mainstream jews wanted him dead because he was (in point of fact, yet another) mystic running a cult, and it was stiring up the common sorts enough they were having problems.
The Pharisees would have knifed him and left it at that, But the romans were getting a little irritated with all the dead bodies being left around- untidy that. The Roman’s cracked down on that sort of thing, so they had to have him tried in Roman courts for breaking Roman laws. Pity he made it so easy.
…
they both “incited insurrection” o_o;
huh.
except trump did it literally and jesus did it metaphorically.
Not how the Roman’s saw it. Saying “I am king of the Jews” was tantamount to rebellion against the Roman Empire.
It’s the kind of thing that gets people killed.
Also not to mention that as a Roman province, Judea couldn’t execute anyone without the Romans’ permission. So they sent Jesus to the Romans and the Romans were like “WTF this guy is innocent” but the Jews were like “Yeah but we still want to kill him”. Then the Romans were like “Okay, how about I give you the choice of freeing either this innocent man or this convicted murderer” and the Jews were like “Free the murderer and kill him”. Then the Romans were like “Fine, we’re literally washing our hands of whatever happens but you do you boo” and the Jews were like “Yay, now all the threats to our religious dogma are gone!” and nothing bad happened to them ever again.
Yep, that’s exactly the same as Trump going before a court, having evidence presented against him, having a defense presented for him, and having a jury of his peers decide on the evidence. The parallels are obvious 🙄
The same person who also said the Jews have secret space lasers. 🤔
The same ones they used to kill Christ.
