He's got that superheroine spine lmao.

[-] Morphite88@thelemmy.club 10 points 1 month ago

This guy goes to bed at 7 pm?

[-] TheAsianDonKnots@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 month ago

Yeah. Their man-o-sphere morning routine starts at 3am. Gotta get your 8 hours in.

[-] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah so he can rise and grind.

[-] mech@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

Ah, so that's why he's got a grindr account.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Wow, quite wild to see some Lemmings get wooshed this hard by an Adam Ellis comic. Though I guess it's mostly aimed at his audience on Bluesky or Reddit. I follow him on the former. He's been experimenting a lot ever since he left Buzzfeed.

Anyway, look at the exaggerated arch in his back. Look at the barbie-font Jesus poster. Acknowledge Ellis' work is often very LGBT (when it's not horror, lol). He's poking fun at hypocrite religious folks, or maybe he's making fun of how very gay it is to get on your knees for Jesus. Or maybe however you interpret it... I mostly just giggled at that fucking ARCH of a back.

Basically, Christianity is so gay, lol.

[-] Feyd@programming.dev 5 points 1 month ago

As someone unfamiliar this was definitely a Poe's law type of post

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Agreed. It's way easier to get in context from his bluesky, he doesn't call his comics Christian Comix lol.

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

I don't think anyone is being wooshed. It's very on the nose. It's also lazy homophobic humor.

[-] wjrii@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I mean there's not a big huge punchline, but this was clearly a bit of a general send-up, and also prodding at a very specific "Tim Tebow" type of muscular Christianity.

That type of Christian man is big and strong, but also extremely manicured and soft-spoken (even while saying the usual heinous shit) and "effeminate" by certain heteronormative standards. The look and vibe lends itself to fairly easy jokes about men who are closeted or so naive they don't realize they're closeted, which will needle some and maybe give others food for thought. Anybody who's spent time in the Bible Belt will have met the dude in this comic, and maybe his wife.

It also helps to be familiar with evangelical worship music. Strong Jesus-is-my-boyfriend vibes in many of those lyrics.

Oh that’s right! Great episode.

[-] someacnt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

For once, my aspie ass could understand the joke behind it.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Does an exaggerated arch suggest fellatio? I think I get the premise, but I'm not 100% confident.

[-] andros_rex@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

The exaggerated arch suggests getting in position to be taken from behind. The man’s a bottom.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I think so. It's also really feminine which is counter to the alpha male thing.

[-] exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

So saith the Lord (Lord is short for lordosis).

[-] glorkon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I always suspected Christians were secretly into homosexuality.

After all, they're the ones down on their knees hoping for a man to come for the second time.

[-] Omnipitaph@reddthat.com 4 points 1 month ago

I feel like the older I get, the more attracted to men I become. Idk, must be all that microplastic lol

[-] Actionschnils@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago

I dont get it ... Or is it just homophobic?

[-] Bgugi@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

It's a gay comic by a gay man about how gay it is to get on your knees and beg for a man (or two guys and their enby buddy) to give you what you want.

[-] garth@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago

two guys and their enby buddy

I love it. The woke Holy Trinity.

[-] Evkob@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

two guys and their enby buddy

Thank you, I will exclusively refer to the Holy Spirit as "enby buddy" now.

Oh and this is how I imagine they look like:

[-] Actionschnils@feddit.org 0 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I got that. But I was looking for some kind of punchline(?)... Probably its just not my sense of humor

[-] Honytawk@feddit.nl 1 points 1 month ago

The punchline is the homophobic theist being gay for their religious daddy.

I’m pretty sure the joke is a gay thirst trap

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Supplicating yourself before a god? Sounds kinda BETA to me.

[-] Zozano@aussie.zone 1 points 1 month ago

This comic is fucking disgusting. Please take it down. We don't need children exposed to such sickening depictions of reality.

First of all, who the fuck goes to bed at 7pm? Second of all, why is sexy Jesus on the wall, and not on the ceiling (so we can pray, even when our eyes are half-lidded), and finally, how is the moonlight so bright when its a waning crescent?!

[-] Swaus01@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

I won't object to someone doing this as long as they shut up about it, don't boast to me about it, and basically don't say any of that stuff in the speech bubbles under any circumstances. I find that these kinds of people are unbearable and eat other Christians alive rather than nurturing a community.

[-] Greddan@feddit.org 5 points 1 month ago

Eating people alive is pretty damn important in Christianity. They made a whole ass ritual about it. Sick cultists as they are.

[-] Swaus01@piefed.social 0 points 1 month ago

Uhhh you're wrong, Jesus was crucified

[-] Greddan@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

Crucified, resurrected, and now snacked on by millions of cultists in this violent and insane sect.

[-] Naho_Zako@piefed.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Almost thought this was a Mango Pablo ("I did it... I saved the town" guy) post...

[-] WinGirl99@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

nice booty pal

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world -5 points 1 month ago

Christian cartoon + not funny.

Well that tracks...

[-] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

He's on his knees shirtless waiting for a man to come. He's gay... i mean happy for jesus.
