I feel I’ve seen this exact joke in an SMBC or something several years ago
we enshrined his torture and put it literally everywhere. you think that might have anything to do with it?
Well people said if he comes back he’s going to slaughter all of us, maybe making him afraid to come back is the point? Haha
Only those who don’t like Him
Nah, hes supposed to take all of the ones that followed him to heaven to, so everyone dies right?
The rapture is unbiblical anyway. None of this really comes from the actual text - it’s squinting and connecting random unconnected Bible verses.
Into the Bibleverse spoilers
We’re not talking about the rapture, we’re talking about the second coming.
The rapture is the unbiblical doctrine that all of the people who are saved will just disappear and the rest will be left behind.
Is The Rapture threatening us with a good time?
Also, I didn’t know the difference between the rapture and the second coming of Jesus so thanks for the info!
I used to be in the same boat- I just thought the rapture was a synonym for the second coming. It’s rapture theology that’s unbiblical, but not the second coming itself.
Well, Jesus also said the worst people are the people to make a big public show of being religious, and that when they get to judgement day he’s gonna be like “I never knew ye” because they were terrible and false.
Actually only the souls of the saved go to heaven. The bodies stay behind, and without any clear cause of death they become feral animals that sublimate their previously-ennobled desire for human togetherness into a simple guttural desire to consume human flesh.
The rest of us unrepentant sinners are left conscious among this new sea of soulless flesh, to defend ourselves against their ravenous teeth.
The saved man does not live on bread alone. He also desires communion, and Jesus has left the building.
Is this an actual theological position or did you just make it up
What’s the difference?

It’s not like all humankind suffers and he is a relatable representation of our own suffering. Kind of like Iron Man or other heroes.
Look, if they did that to Jesus they will do the same or worse to you without batting an eye.
Well, Iron Man was crucified for our sins.
As was James T. Kirk.
Iron Man had the best last words of the three.
#Jesusdiditfirst
We tortured Him first
I mean, he got better so it’s nbd right?
He forgives us if we come to Him :)
“you think if JFK comes back he wants to see sniper rifles everywhere?”
TBF, his (hypothetical) dad planned the whole thing.
Yes, but only because he knew our nature, and still wanted to love and forgive us, despite being quite unforgivable.
Sure. That fucker wants to forgive us and he gets a pass. I want to love and forgive everyone and I wind up with a life sentence for murdering my son.
That’s your mistake.
You set up a situation in which he will end up being murdered by others.
😬
That’s why the trinity is essential - Jesus is God. God became man so He could die Himself
You’ve got a strange definition of love. That sounds like manipulation to me.
There’s a sci-fi book series called Hyperion where one of the main fucuses of the far-future theocratic government is to search for signs and symbolism of Jesus on other planets. Since if you find an alien species worshipping Jesus or using cross symbolism, you’ve all but proven that God exists.
You will prove that one god exists?
Or even less, you will prove that someone with god-like powers exists?
Or even less, you will prove tat we live in a simulation written by some christian sect.
If all successful civilizations believe in something isomorphic to the Pythagorean theorem, then this is evidence that it’s real.
God works the same way.
Well, Jesus claimed to be God and the only God at that
To be exact, it was a few centuries later that people told that about him, before it was written down.
No, it was a matter of decades. And even then, most facts about historical figures from then are written down centuries later.
‘facts’
Where was Julius Caesar born?
Will be reading this if you think it’s worth it.
I’m a huge fan of classic sci-fi (Asimov, Heinlein). How does it hold up?
And before someone eats me alive about Heinlein, I’ve heard it all. Been a fan since I was a kid and the ideological side of it doesn’t matter to me as much as the stories these days. I’m an atheist because of authors like him. I wouldn’t take it back for anything.
If you like old school scifi you’ll probably like it. It’s a grand opera. Prolog to the first book is online here:
It’s like The Canterbury Tales in space. It’s four books, but the first one stands on its own.
Strange to me to our Asimov and Heinlein in the same genre. That’s like when I start Spotify Radio from Cheryl Crow and get Metallica and Green Day because Spotify thinks I’m looking for “90s music”
They’re both definitely scfi and I have enjoyed all that I have read of them.
I will say, I haven’t read a lot of them since I was a teenager and I’m old now.
Still though, robots, moon people, mars people, dude being thrown from universe to universe.
It’s pretty clear to me why it’s the same genre.
Or aliens copied 3rd century Rome.
It’s so interesting to see reactions of horror triggered by a mention of kindness suddenly putting one’s own actions into perspective.
More like “what didn’t we do?”
Am I right?
Like 90% of what he told us to do, for starters.
If y’all think Jesus is so good you should meet his hermanito lupe.
Explanation: humans suck
If Jesus were to show up on an alien planet would He be incarnate as an alien
Yes.
The question is, would he be alien to us or them.
Might also depend - were these aliens created also in God’s image? Do they have original sin?
If they’re “intelligent” then I think yes. “God’s image” is a reference of conscious, loving, and powerful. They would have original sin if they evolved out of a biological gauntlet like we did and had to fear constantly because it was the only way for their species to survive amongst all the predatory life around them.
As a buddhist evolutionary psychologist might put it, they would have dukkha nature because a default state of dissatisfied craving would be the thing that drove them to keep worrying after their bellies were full.
Their civilization would have taken them to new environments beyond their Environment of Evolutionary Adaptedness, requiring them to “work” instead of just following their instinctual programming.
So they would have had their own ejection from their own Eden, into the world of mortality.
They would have left the effortless Tao of their original nature. They would be like Amazonian tree frogs living in glass boxes solving simple puzzles to get food pellets. Capable, but horrified and missing something they never consciously knew.
We all must pass through this phase of awkward separation as we emerge from nature into civilization.
I can’t read these comics without being reminded of a character in Community reading “Warren Piece”
Maybe we need to give an offering of Viagra if we want Jesus to come again.
shhh…Jesus is coming…open your mouth.
🙏
