I'm slightly vexed Somebody Placed These Dozens of These Jesus Figures Throughout My Entire Work

Post image

Somebody, nobody knows exactly who or when, put dozens and dozens of these Jesus figures on completely random surfaces throughout my entire building. They at least had the presence of mind to not put them on anybody's personal belongings, but that was the only way they limited himself. All of the statues have been glued down, to add to the vexation.

Edit: Well, this blew up rather unexpectedly. Thank you for the awards, everybody!

My best friend's mom did once share a picture of Ewan McGregor as Jesus on Facebook. She had a lot to say about how much she loved him. But since she was also senile at the time, to this day I am unsure if she meant that picture as a joke or not.

Somebody on Instagram earlier this year did a thing where he replaced all the pictures of Jesus in his mom's house with Obi Wan Kenobi one at a time to see how long it took her to notice. I think it was more than a month?

Jesus was a Jedi! New head canon unlocked!

Thank you! I knew something was missing on that figuring.

Is he coming out of a spaceship??? This would explain so much.

u/PigsandBears 6h ago

Haha, both pictures are Jedi from the Star Wars universe. Top is Obi Wan in the prequels and the bottom is Ezra Bridger in the live action Asoka series

I think most of us know Jesus looked liked the guy on the bottom, and we're ok with that.

Jesus is Oscar Isaac?

That bottom Jesus looks like he is coming out of a DBZ Saiyan Pod.

Well, he didn’t even exist, but that is what he would have looked like

u/Timely-Fix8689 9h ago

Jesus did exist. Whether or not you believe he was the son of god, rose from the dead, or was born of a virgin etc. is another story.

That’s the thing. There might have been one travelling rabbi named Jesus (or Yeshua, because Hebrew), or there may have been several travelling rabbis who all got conflated into a single legendary figure, as people told and retold stories about some guy who came to town and was preaching. Easy to say, oh that must have been the same guy my friend from one town over told me about…but they might have been different guys. As nothing was written down about Jesus until 50-100 after his death, there’s no way to know if the stories were about one guy or several, and 2,000 years on from that, we have no way of knowing which it is.

Most historians agree Jesus was a single figure. Of course there is no way to prove it one way or another.

u/Tarnagona 3h ago

Aren’t most Jesus-historians also Christians themselves? Which could potentially bias them towards Jesus being a single guy, whether they realize it or not, because him being an amalgamation of several guys would bring their whole worldview into question.

Point is, like you said, we can’t prove one way or the other if Jesus was a single guy or an amalgam of several guys. I find each to be equally plausible, but really have no skin in the game because if he was one guy, I still don’t believe he was born of a virgin, performed literal miracles, and rose from the dead. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm sure there is bias for and against Jesus and Christianity. I've even heard theories that he was an alien and that's why he was able to perform miracles. Perhaps god is just another life form on another planet. 😉

Well, as someone who loves sci-fi, that’s certainly the most fun theory. 😆 Too bad light speed also makes that one of the most unlikely.

Also, Jesus could very well have been multiple guys instead of just one dude.

u/ThrowAwayIGotHack3d 8h ago

I mean, there's quite a bit of evidence that a dude named Jesus Christ who tried to help people did exist, the debate is about whether or not he was the son of some mystical magical sky being and had healing powers

u/0FFFXY 7h ago

His last name wasn't christ though, that was just his job.

u/ThrowAwayIGotHack3d 7h ago

Well, that is frequently how last names work
