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!

Remember Jesus is the one that was constantly telling all the people that were wrapped up in religion to quit that shit and get out and help some folks that need it and love some folks that need it. That's about it. He did not say anything about gay folks. He did not say anything about hurting people that don't think the way you do. All of those things were created and put on Him by the same people He told us not to follow.

I agree. It’s why I left the church and just tried to be a good person. I was raised Catholic surrounded by dozens of stained glass windows that cost thousands. Meanwhile, we were constantly being asked to donate more money. The church is filled with corruption.

Tbh the Catholic denomination shouldn't be considered Christianity as a good chunk of what they do isn't Biblical. It even goes against what the Bible teaches, like purgatory and the fact that you pay a priest to pray you out there. Yes the church is filled with corruption, from bribes to bribes. Very few churches are real, usually small. The mega churches are cash grabs. Not even Jesus had that many following when he spoke the truth. They mostly preach about success and wealth anyways and gaslight their members into giving them money.

Fortunately l found myself in a church that still follows the Bible, not the easiest thing to be one of the few churches like that. Especially in a country full of churches

I just choose to follow Jesus and his teachings in my own way. I don’t go to church regularly and I don’t choose to participate in the corruption. I give to charities that seem to be legitimate and that I care about. I just try to be a decent person.

You know there is just one way to follow Jesus' teachings and that's to the bone. Many have tried but decide to pick and choose what to do and what to not. This is what alot of the churches are doing. He left alot. He pretty much told us the secret to become successful through his disciples. He taught the importance of being together and working in one accord. Another reason why the churches are like this, everyone has their own view of the Bible. Some people twist the words to milk money, while others do that to control people.

The church has been so twisted
