Mansplaining Jesus to the Pope is a post genre I did not anticipate back in the early days of the Internet.
Why can’t you say “Jesus saves”
Someone doesn’t understand transubstantiation!
Evangelicals becoming unhinged Unitarians because they can’t stand the idea of an Abrahamic trinity.
My favourite kind of guy is the one convinced that there is a massive conspiracy but thinks there’s a loophole where they have to admit it if they’re called out on it. Oh damn, he tweeted that the pope is actually a secret Muslim, the papacy is going to have to announce it’s actually a new caliphate
Like one of the most common hymns goes “god in one person the holy trinity” or some shit. By their own doctrine god and jesus are the same dude. I always find it incredible when Christians hide behind their religion without knowing even the most basic shit about it
Jesus is God, and the Father is God, but Jesus is not his own Dad and did not fuck his mother
Well nobody fucked his mother it was a virgin birth!
Or in more modern translation, a “teenage pregnancy”.
Pretty sure that whole story was Mary’s way of covering up her affair with Billy
Billy Jean is not my father, he’s just some guy who thinks that i am his son, but the kid is not my dad.
This person is espousing a bastardized unitarian perspective. True monotheism that rejects the Trinity, but places more importance on Jesus than the Godhead.
Why do people care this much? It’s all just made up bull meant to soothe people’s fear of dying. Like chill
yes, because worshipping wrong means you don’t get to go to the good place when you die, and if you’re teaching people to worship wrong then there’s folks who wont go to heaven cause of you.
when you actually believe this shit (a fairly low proportion of espoused christians, tbh) it’s quite critical to their ideology
Unitarians are pretty chill for the most part. It’s just funny that the super reactionary sects are accidentally becoming theologically unitarian.
Like if an anarchist was mad at a communist and then tried to own the communist by saying the means of production should actually be centralized and managed by an anarchist state
What is the holy trinity, which is central to Christianity?
“Brothers and sisters are natural enemies. Like Pagans and Christians. Or Jews and Christians. Or Shinto and Christians. Or Christians and other Christians. Damn Christians, they ruined Christianity”
“You Christians sure are a contentious people”
“You just made an enemy for life”
this is only 2 steps removed from the moonies saying ‘actually jesus fucked up, he was meant to reunify the world (korea)’
Jesus’s name quite literally means “God saves”
dude is also failing at the mystery of the holy trinity
as someone who grew up catholic let me take this moment to laugh at evangelicals for being ignorant in their own faith once again (even though im not a believer anymore)

I’m about to lay into my dad the next time i see him with this shit since my brother apparently asked them to treat his trans gf like a human and they said no, my dad always sucked but this fucking church shit has made it so much worse
tell him god works in mysterious ways and that all things are possible through jesus, like being able to accept transformative nature of gender that god made possible
heretic
Scolding the pope on twitter to prove that you think about god more than the pope does
Truly, you can see god centered in all they do
I can’t see “jesus saves” without thinking of the Jam’s “down in the tube station at midnight”
The last thing that I saw As I lay there on the floor Was “Jesus Saves” painted by an atheist nutter
story time! there was a person who roamed the streets with a big yella
JESUS SAVES
sign where i used to live. he’s not that interesting but sometimes he’d cross paths with this other guy who’d roam the streets with a guitar strapped to his back chanting “Doors” lyrics (usually 'Love Her Madly).
anyway my man with the guitar loved seeing JESUS SAVES guy and would yell out “AT WALMART”.
i would just be walking around sometimes and hear
“AT WALMART hahaha!”
from like a block away sometimes and think “aw yeh man’s having a good day”… haha what a fun memory. mannn i wonder how those two are doin? do they still meet out there?
This reads like something from an Alan Moore graphic novel
It’s funny because Muslims recognise Jesus
The amount of people I’ve had to explain “Yes, Muslims celebrate Christmas. It’s like the major holiday alongside Ramadan,” to is staggering.
impressive levels of stupidity condensed into a short reply there
I mean… they do, though?
