I like how you downplay enduring a crucifixion
God loves us!
God: proceeds to commit genocide and save only his buddy who built a boat.
He didn’t die for our sins. He just doubled them and gave it to the next generation and so on. Lmfao
Hot take, *tips fedora*
Also if he died for our sins then by not sinning we’re letting his death be in vain
The fact that He rose again means our debt has been paid in full. If He was still dead, then He didn’t finish paying for all sins.
Not to mention, His payment started at the moment Pilate convicted him at the behest of the Hebrews.
The concept of sin is baffling.
The church tells you that you are deeply flawed and need them to fix you?
Sounds like manipulation to me.
I love how Christians always make fun of Jesus then say Jesus loves us
And now you can steal and rape and murder without punishment because your imaginary friend will forgive you. F’ the people you harmed though. /S
What if he never died bruh and he just hid in that cave until it all blew over and just got a dude who looks like him get crucified
Jesus never ceases to exist.
He never died according to Christian theology. It’s a blood cult.
“Guy who has everything tells people who have nothing to sacrifice everything.”
Impossible challenge: Reddit doesn’t take a meme seriously.
The amount of people who defends a magical fiction book as absolute truth is astonishing. If you believe in it so hard, why do you choose to ignore half of it?
Edit: his death and resurrection are a metaphor for the sun; it goes down and appear to be still for three days in the winter solstice (3 days before Christmas, Pikachu face) in middle east, and then starts rising again.
The whole “Jesus died for SINS” thing was invented by Paul, as he just came up with it because he wanted a reason for what he couldn’t understand
I don’t think a weekend will cover it.
ITT: Dying slowly while nailed to wooden beams, NBD.
Jesus: “I’ll take the weekend shift, but don’t expect me to work overtime.”
Arms held out
In your Jesus Christ pose
Thorns and shroud
Like it’s the coming of the Lord
And I swear to you
That I’d never feed you pain
But you’re staring at me
Like I’m, like I’m driving the nails!!!!
He died on Friday afternoon.
He rose again on Sunday morning.
So he gave up one Saturday. Not even a whole weekend…
Ah, yes, the first zombie
You know… someone giving up their weekand for our sins in 2025….
Just hitts way harder… the more i read it.
The premise of the Christian faith story is:
Humans were created by Deity in own image. Humans are inherently evil. Therefore, when humans suffer it’s either their fault or they deserve to. Deity representative shows up as human and then suffers like most other humans for reasons that don’t make sense. Comes back to life for a brief moment (but no verifiable evidence) and then disappears for about thousand years and still counting.
Result: Humans still suffer, but humans will be happy after they are dead *if they worship Deity correctly* even though instructions are unclear. Also, Deity representative is considered a heroic victim for suffering like humans that one time.
TBF, it was a *long* weekend.
They ultimate sacrifice is losing your weekend🥲
He looks like a generic 1970s rock band member. Like the tambourine player for Grand Funk Railroad or the sound board man for Blue Oyster Cult.
I never understood the story. So he died and then three days later resuscitated. So it’s still alive? Where is he? There’s this 2000 years old semi god person somewhere walking?
It’s a cool story. Made a few good movies.
He avoided spending time with his family for Passover. Top G maneuver.
And he lives for eternity in heaven now.
Finite suffering in light of eternity is nothing. A blip on the radar.
Exactly the argument from Memnoch the Devil by Anne Rice
Memnoch runs into god. God is like “hey look, im Jesus now. I listened to what you said, that i dont understand mortality. So im gonna die here, sacrifice myself. I win, im so smart, i know what its like to be human now”
Memnoch the Devil “so you know you are god, and your just gonna die then go back up to be god again? yeah, humans dont get to do that at all. Its not a vacation for them”
god:
I gave up my weekend for some overtime pay.
Same same
But it was a holiday, he gave up a 3-day weekend for our sins.
Fuck Jesus!
I always find it funny how people life for the Bible/their religion but hate on other fiction. It’s the same stuff man. Some people wrote stories, which other people collected into one book. Literally the Bible.
The real cost was technically in the garden of Gethsemane
I’m not denying a guy named Jesus existed. But I really don’t believe it went down like they say. It’s just a story to help people have something to believe in.
Not just that, but they always go on about “three days.” He died at 3pm on Friday and was up and at them but sunrise on Sunday. That’s not even 39 hours. The Bible doesn’t math good.
Lol
🤣 now I’m dead
Technically he ascended to heaven, so it’s more like a ‘Don’t bother turning up Monday’ situation.
Which means he had his time cut short with Mary of Magdalene, which we know from Roman bath house graffitti was the best at what she does.
And what she does isn’t very nice…
Historically-speaking, it’s thought that he resurrected right to heaven and that his disciples were having visions of him. Only Luke’s Gospel has a 40 day hangout period of appearances followed by an ascension. Mark has no resurrection appearances, Matthew has him appearing “but some doubted,” and John has him giving the Holy Spirit immediately and then appearing only once to Peter.
Shout-out to the greatest bumper sticker I’ve ever seen:Â “But if nobody sinned, then Jesus died for nothing”. Sin away y’all
happy non secular winter (spring in this case) holiday
Jesus gave up his weekend so we could have a long weekend every year
Cool. Now do another religion.
So true
Disclaimer; Not a Christian / don’t believe
When I read the story, I took the resurrection in such a short time after the torture of Christ to symbolic of how small a problem suffering is to a man who has seen eternity. It’s one thing to be tortured and put down. “Jesus died for your sins.” It’s another to stand up again and be renewed. Jesus got completely fucked up for your sins, had a solid power dirt nap, and then got up again and went about his business because he’s got better shit to worry about than death.
That being said, I’m aware that it is not the narrative that most Christians believe or most Christian institutions push.
