no no, God is doing this BECAUSE we’re polluting the earth. if you stop and reverse the pollution then he won’t be mad anymore…
You think that would work to get them to stop?
Like he’s going to let us into Heaven to trash it after seeing what slobs we were down here.
This looks like a country singer waking up on the ground from a night of drinking. He only has the dog/horse blanket on him and he has no idea how he got there.
You’re closer to right than you know. This is “The Olive Press” by (in)famous white-Jesus Mormon painter Del Parson. The man paints Jesus through a very, very thick lens of the American Mountain West.
For the record, I had to look up the specific painting, but I grew up LDS, and red-robe white-guy mullet Jesus is a Parson trademark.
Wouldn’t be American Christianity without the cornerstone of white supremacy
It is an act of god. Jesus is punishing the world for its sins. What sins, you ask, gay marriage and women voting? Hell no! The sin is emitting carbon dioxide. Jesus hates it when you do that. That’s why he made those molecules trap sunlight in the Earth’s atmosphere and that’s why he made the weather systems intensify when there’s more energy in them, resulting in bigger hurricanes. He’s really lazy, so he set it all up automatically to wipe out the human species if they emit too much carbon. It’s like the great flood. He told you never again. Next time you go emitting carbon, it’s gonna be heat, not water.
Carlin said it best
Jesus never drove a car. Or even rode a bicycle for that matter.
Also, the letter J wasn’t invented until the year 1524 AD.
Should it more accurately be Yesus?
IIRC in Latin the letter “I” as in India, was used for “J” sounds. So it would be Iesus.
Somewhere between that, or possibly Yeshua.
I dunno for sure, but if people really believe in the man, shouldn’t they refer to him by his proper Hebrew name?
It’s not like historical figures are always referred to by their proper names. How many English speakers talk about Cristóbal Colón or pronounce Julius Caesar as [ˈkae̯.sar].
I get you.
But if people out there are willing to give their lives up for a person from a couple thousand years ago, you’d think they might know how to properly spell the person’s name.
Not like he’s gonna come back to life, get real.
Hang on, what? I might need to rethink a few things…
‘I’ used to be used as both a vowel and a consonant, similar to how we use C for both the ‘s’ sound and the ‘k’ sound. So probably it would have been Iesus with an I. Probably sounded out the same as the guy who did my drywall.
The Russian й (e.g. the last letter in the name Sergei) is a semivowel, the only one in the Russian alphabet.
It’s pronounced Geez not Jeez
In English yes, but not in closer languages like Aramaic, Hebrew (יְהוֹשֻׁעַ (Yehoshua)) or Greek (ἰησοῦς (ioesous)).

It’s a joke, my dude.
Take some responsibility for your actions.

Were we created in your image or not?
One thing I don’t understand about organized religion is why they don’t care about being environmently friendly. Isn’t Earth created by God in all of these religions and wouldn’t God by saddened that we are destroying it? Why is it not talked about in churches?
Bible thumpers have a tendency to ignore the parts of their holy text that would improve life for the majority and instead focus on the more farcical elements.
And God said, Go ye forth upon the Earth and pick and choose which of Mine words ye wish to use to torment your brethren.
John 3: somethingortheother
The books (since they all share the old testament in one way or another) talk about it, us being good shepards and responsible for all beings. Just a little, but it is there. Somewhere in the beginning.
It’s just that we’re assholes and if something doesn’t fit our narrative we ignore it.
Just like all the books make killing crime no 1, but we go “yeah, no” when it suits us. (in war you may kill because i say so and you may kill that Israeli, westerner or arab because they are subhuman unbelievers/desert rags.)
The commandments are very clear and there are no exceptions possible according to the book. But we made those up anyway. Which is weird. Here we have the guiding principles of being, given to us by god and we choose to disregard them. Sometimes even in the name of god/allah/Jahweh.
Disclaimer: not an active Christian. Just had to go to a lot of sunday school in my day.
Because there is an afterlife where you will live for eternity, so just accept fate and follow god’s plan for you—god has a plan for everybody.
The one does not contradict the other. God uses the extreme weather to punish the destruction of his creation by humans.
I just woke up and my vision is still blurry but I thought this Jesus was Ryan Gosling
