I feel I've seen this exact joke in an SMBC or something several years ago

[-] drolex@sopuli.xyz 110 points 1 month ago
[-] smeg@feddit.uk 34 points 1 month ago

Even more similar than I remembered!

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 24 points 1 month ago

The joke has been around a while, so they probably have made the same joke.

[-] Sergio@slrpnk.net 63 points 1 month ago

That joke's been around since 1750 BC

Tell Ea-nasir: Nanni sends the following message:

When Jesus came, Jesus said to you as follows : "I will return when the time is right." Jesus left then but has not yet returned to you as promised. Now you look to my messenger (Sit-Sin) and ask: "Why, then, has Jesus not returned?"

What do you take me for, that Jesus would not return to me after visiting? Would you treat somebody like Jesus with such contempt? I have sent as messengers gentlemen like ourselves to invite Jesus to return several times, and that through enemy territory. Is there anyone among the merchants who trade with Telmun to whom Jesus has not returned?

You alone ask why this is so! Take cognizance that (from now on) Jesus shall exercise against you the right of rejection if you have treated him with contempt. How did you treat Jesus when he visited?

Translated from the original Akkadian: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/complaint-tablet-to-ea-nasir (er... this is a joke btw)

Jesus ain't coming back until people stop wearing crosses around their neck, scaring him away.

[-] TacoSocks@infosec.pub 15 points 1 month ago
[-] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I think they mean because Jesus was supposedly murdered on a cross, and then his followers wear said cross as a symbol of their love for him or some shit - which is honestly kind of weird.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

You think that's weird? They drink his blood and eat his flesh too.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

I wouldn't come back either

we enshrined his torture and put it literally everywhere. you think that might have anything to do with it?

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

Well people said if he comes back he's going to slaughter all of us, maybe making him afraid to come back is the point? Haha

It's not like all humankind suffers and he is a relatable representation of our own suffering. Kind of like Iron Man or other heroes.

TBF, his (hypothetical) dad planned the whole thing.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Yes, but only because he knew our nature, and still wanted to love and forgive us, despite being quite unforgivable.

[-] meco03211@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Sure. That fucker wants to forgive us and he gets a pass. I want to love and forgive everyone and I wind up with a life sentence for murdering my son.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

That's your mistake.

You set up a situation in which he will end up being murdered by others.

Is god also jesus and the holy spirit all at once?

[-] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 12 points 1 month ago

Ah, yes, the holy Trinity.

The only thing that made less sense than a virgin birth or resurrection.

It still doesn't make sense. Like from a narrative view either. It doesn't help the story, or the belief it's just a useless... Thing?

[-] cerement@slrpnk.net 17 points 1 month ago

a virgin birth

parthenogenesis – Jesus is a clone of Mary – which also make him canonically a trans man

[-] lime@feddit.nu 15 points 1 month ago

the perfect push over the edge for the doubting christian in your life: was Jesus trans or was Mary an adulterer?

A press conference with aliens? I don't think so. They'll be killed and get a very detailed autopsy as soon as they put their feet on the ground

[-] pfm@scribe.disroot.org 8 points 1 month ago

Then I hope they have no feet! 🤪

[-] Piemanding@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

Unless we were threatened with overwhelming power.

[-] Subverb@lemmy.world 37 points 1 month ago

There's a sci-fi book series called Hyperion where one of the main fucuses of the far-future theocratic government is to search for signs and symbolism of Jesus on other planets. Since if you find an alien species worshipping Jesus or using cross symbolism, you've all but proven that God exists.

[-] cuerdo@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

You will prove that one god exists?

Or even less, you will prove that someone with god-like powers exists?

Or even less, you will prove tat we live in a simulation written by some christian sect.

Will be reading this if you think it’s worth it.

I’m a huge fan of classic sci-fi (Asimov, Heinlein). How does it hold up?

And before someone eats me alive about Heinlein, I’ve heard it all. Been a fan since I was a kid and the ideological side of it doesn’t matter to me as much as the stories these days. I’m an atheist because of authors like him. I wouldn’t take it back for anything.

Yeah, but wait until you hear what these green guys did to Santa.

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 27 points 1 month ago

It’s so interesting to see reactions of horror triggered by a mention of kindness suddenly putting one’s own actions into perspective.

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 27 points 1 month ago

We killed God. And we'd do it again if given the chance.

[-] Gerudo@lemm.ee 27 points 1 month ago

Oh, I know a good chunk of this country seeing a brown skinned guy helping out the poor and being all woke and shit, would put him right back up on that cross.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

God creates earth. God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys god. Man creates dinosaurs. Dinosaurs eat man. Woman inherits the earth.

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 11 points 1 month ago

Life, uh, finds a way.

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

More like "what didn't we do?"

Am I right?

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

Like 90% of what he told us to do, for starters.

[-] Kellenved@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

That 10% is doing a lot of work here

It's the fedi here, why only link their bluesky when they have a Mastodon and a website?

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago

Because that's where I got it from, that's where I linked the source to

If y'all think Jesus is so good you should meet his hermanito lupe.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 7 points 1 month ago

If Jesus were to show up on an alien planet would He be incarnate as an alien

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Yes.

The question is, would he be alien to us or them.
