Jesus is not a demigod. He is both fully god and fully human and any suggestion to the contrary is heresy. /nsrs
Tumblr
Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.
His execution was barbaric and horrifying. Easily the worst day of his lives. We like to put up realistic statues depicting that moment wherever we can.
It’s so very weird. Imagine if he’d been hanged and people casually walked around wearing nooses. Or drawn and quartered…
The only reason it doesn’t seem batshit insane is because we’ve normalised it.
And they are expecting him to return one day. I can't imagine he will be stoked to see all that iconography and be reminded of that awkward part. I'd have thought depictions of one of his sermons, or a carpentry tool, or just his name would have been better.
Good news, they’ll never have to find out. Just as nobody needs to worry about the return of other Mesopotamian gods or their judgement, Jesus isn’t coming back.
It’s a good thing, too, because if they actually read their scripture, Jesus wasn’t the hippie socialist they like to think he was. According to the book (if you don’t cherry pick it), he was just as vengeful as his father, and was fine with all the terrible and unjust things done by every other incarnation of himself.
Modern Christians would absolutely fall short of his judgement. Maybe the Amish would be okay. Maybe.
Oh ye of little faith!
He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!
The execution is the whole point though. The Christian understanding of the Crucifixion isn't just "our leader got tortured and killed and that's sad," it goes way deeper than that. The cross represents the very moment that human sin was forgiven due to the sacrifice of Jesus as a perfect, sinless being. Christians believe that the sacrifice (death on the cross) was the entire purpose of God incarnating on Earth in the first place. It's not simply that God became a man to teach humans how to live, but rather the whole point was this moment of self/human sacrifice. So of Jesus was who Christians believe he was, he wouldn't find it awkward at all.
Still super weird that a deity would need to sacrifice himself to himself, to forgive his own creation's offspring for the actions of their ancestors who acted in the way he created it to (not knowing right from wrong ) when it ate the forbidden fruit said deity put in an easily accessible location...
Well, when you put it like that...
It’s like if JFK came back and we were all wearing little rifle pendants.

I shouldn’t be surprised , and yet…
Gross.
I agree, but also I can't think of many ways of executing someone that don't often count as the worst day of their life. Unless you torture them first on other days and give a painless execution
It's an important distinction. They are consuming simultaneously the flesh of a human being and an actual deity. That's much less crazy.
Hey that only took a few centuries to iron out. Arianism swept through northern eurasia and kind of stayed rooted until some crusading and a mongol horde or two displaced it for good.
Also if your elders fuck kids and family/congregation members tell you you're lying about being molested
That's the "Roman" part of Roman Catholicism, lol. The Jews certainly weren't doing blood rituals and ceremonial cannibalism! 🤷
Yeah, just good old ritual mutilation of babies. Nothing barbaric or bloody there.
Rabbis suck the blood from the freshly mutilated penises of little boys
That's fucked up shit
All religions are stupid
Is that like part of the Torah or some later invention? 🤢 Regardless, blood rites and anything adjacent is stupid and grotesque, I don't disagree with that.
Unless its a sex thing or otherwise between consenting adults.
Then it's cool as fuck.
I disagree but to each their own.
