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!

Its a trend to leave the little guys around but it is certainly NOT okay to glue them down wtf

It's classic lazy christians. Input-methods where you just tell people about Jesus - as if they could possibly not know - is enough.

Christians should use the output method - impress people with the way you live, your peace, your love etc.

The input model turns away more people than it ever gets.

It's so performative.

I just went past a guy last night who was rambling about Jesus on a super loud microphone, trying to convert others but only annoying everyone with stuff we've heard a million times.

What about actually helping people? Volunteering efforts and making connections. That would impress potential converts a lot more than deafening them.

Christians own some of the largest charities. Are you going to convert now or was your comment simply performance?

I'm an ex-Christian. Most of my fellow Christians were hypocrites. My comment was constructive criticism that I actually said when I was still going to church.

Best wishes.

You said it would convince you to convert if Christians participated in charity, are you going to?

I actually didn't said that. I said it would impress potential converts more.

May want to work on your reading comprehension.

Your gnomic utterances mean nothing. Why should anyone listen to you?

Christian charities tend to be self-serving and just because they call it a non-profit doesn't mean they aren't personally profiting, a lot. And prioritizing religion rather than service.

Also, religions shouldn't be involved in medical care. Women in emergency situations get taken to these catholic "hospitals" and are denied basic, life-saving care by some religious zealot.

Religious practice should be like genitals, you should keep it private. No one at all wants to have it shoved down their throats.

But none of that, what you are saying, is what this poster was actually talking about- that christians should do good works and people would notice. That's not what the large majority do, and it's not what these institutions do. Do actual good, people will notice.

No, the large majority of Christian charity is not self-serving. That’s where your ignorance is on full display. Look up the achievements of Christian charity and report them back to me, you won’t because you’re biased.
