Always forget people are a big fan of that guy (Jesus)
white american jesus specifically
Dipping communion wafers in ranch dressing for the win!
Blasphemy! Ranch dressing is too spicy
Supply Side Jesus specifically
The og jesus (hey-zeus) was chill, I've smoked a blunt with them a time or two
I think the Aramaic spoken at the time would have been pronounced closer to Yeshua or Yeshu.
The sentiment still stands dude was pretty chill, except that one time he fliped the tables of the money changers and hucksters turning a house of worship into a house of commerce. Still pretty based of him.
He did get so fuckin pissed he cursed a tree forever because it didn't have any fruit for him to eat that one time.
I honestly think Jesus would be a little embarrassed to have people hanging on his every word and ascribing meanings to it in the form of a book report on them every Sunday that he probably didn't mean. It's nice to teach us how to treat others and so on, but people loudly assuring others that Jesus loves them; well I have trouble believing Jesus thinks a lot of child predators and rapists myself. And I like what Jesus taught, but I don't think everyone in the world is salvageable.
I'd be curious AF what he thought about all these depictions of him as a white dude with straight, light brown hair
I suppose it's fair to say that some of the early artists who painted him probably never saw a brown Jew, and were handed down the stories of the Bible same as anyone, and just painted what they know. I can't fault anyone for that, but the fact that the world very much knows better now and continues with this is obnoxious.
Close to the truth. The original use for a white Jesus was to express purity and divinity. From there, it just kind of snowballed...
He would probably be more annoyed at having a bunch of existing stories changed to make him the protagonist.
