why jesus cakes hanging out

Also my money on the four armed elephant dude with an axe

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 48 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dude forgot to gird. Rookie mistake.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yes it looks like an iron axe, and God has a problem with Iron:
https://biblehub.com/judges/1-19.htm

Judges 1:19

The LORD was with the men of Judah. They took possession of the hill country, but they were unable to drive the people from the plains, because they had chariots fitted with iron.

So the idea that God is almighty is pretty ridiculous, according to the Bible that is.

I never actually read much of the thing

I just assert that the burning bush was absolutely cannabis sativa, despite any solid evidence to the contrary. I don't care that it's not native to the region or whatever.

Anyways, why the fuck was he driving people out of the plains? Homies were just chilling in their iron chariots.

[–] Fermion@feddit.nl 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I can't claim to have much experience in the matter, but I don't think people who just chill generally have chariots fitted with iron. Like if your neighbor happened to have a tank and a bunker, would you say they're just chilling?

For the same reason as now - because Israel wanted their land.

No pants for serious mode

If we consider the Sistine Chapel's depiction of the realm of heaven to be divine inspiration, the clothes were added later after some complaints.

The whole concept of original sin is such that pure beings such as Adam and Eve did not even realize that they were naked until they ate the fruit of carnal knowledge.

Therefor it is canon that God likes to hang out with his wang out. Freeballin.

Also Jesus was a bottom

Do you think he was topping 12 dudes a night? They started a religion after him because he was nice not because he was a multiple cummer

So it totally makes sense for him to be flying cakes in a fight with a Hindu god

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not sure what your religion is but I regret to inform you that you're not going to the good place.

[–] AlolanYoda@mander.xyz 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Based on having had to read that comment I would say we're already in the bad place

[–] pinkystew@reddthat.com 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm a slut for cum fill me Judas

Sorry to all Christians but every Hindu deity wrecks Jesus 1v1. That's just facts.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

IDK, the christians build gods like a grade schooler:

My god built the ocean.

Oh yeah well mine built the earth, and the ocean is on the earth.

Hey you can’t do that, besides I have a second god and he made the sun.

I don’t need two gods mine is as powerful as all yours put together and he made the heavens and it has the sun in it.

THAT’S CHEATING! And I have another god, he made the stars!

Oh yeah well mine made everything including all the gods and he can count to infinity!

Oh yeah even the evil gods?

…..yeah but thats not his fault.

Is too!

Is not!

Is too!

Is not!

Is too!, Is too!, Is too!

Is not time infinitely!

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

For his human form, yes, but Holy Trinity-wise, I'm not so sure. Beyond 1v1, archangels tip any scales in JC's favor.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you also including the entire Hindu pantheon? Because I don't think the trinity has a chance in hell, archangels notwithstanding.

When they're both Christians, Jesus just picks his favorite. If you lose you know that you're not jesus's favorite. Sorry that's just the way it is. Loser.

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Also relevant, two people of the same religion praying for the same thing. The god fights themselves. Or flips a coin, free will remember.

[–] argh_another_username@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jim Carrey comes to mind in Bruce Almighty, when he starts to say yes to every prayer and thousands win the lottery.

[–] superduperpirate@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Don’t they each win like ten cents or something?

I thought the god chose the person who had suffered more of the gods torture.

[–] sxan@midwest.social 31 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Now I want to read a book that starts with the sentance:

"The war in heaven started with a spelling bee."

[–] Hammocks4All@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] sxan@midwest.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Could you use that in a sentance?

[–] zaubentrucker@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

They just did

Since 2008 Ganesha only lost two times. I guess Jesus is past his prime. And the first loss wasn’t really a loss, since it was 8 first place winners with 7 kids of South Asian descent.

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 13 points 1 year ago

I mean look at him! Jesus doesn't seem like he has much of a shot against that beast of a deity.

I adore this comic for some reason

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] serenissi@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

It's not a god per se, rather the animal companion of Ganesh (Elephant god/ god of people, kinda like god Fufluns of Populonia). The mouse is like a ride of the god.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

I'd buy that Street Fighter DLC pack.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This just made me think about Shin Megami Tensei. I think Messiah (the closest equivalent to Jesus) would probably win 1 on 1, but the whole Hindu pantheon would probably wear him down eventuality.

Edit for non-smt fans: SMT is Pokemon for religious and folk mythology. Lol

My money is on the elephant!

[–] TheBraveSirRobbin@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I dunno, that balls kick was a hell of a headstart and could change the outcome

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Interesting tidbit, the National spelling bee was created by Doug Cornette. The Father of loud mouth, racket waving, heel wrestling manager Jim Cornette

Which explains why he was such a word Smith and could talk a mile a minute while insulting the crowd

There's no fucking way a human zombie pacifist Jew would be able to take on a 2-ton humanoid elephant god with six arms and wields weapons 1 v 1.

I would love for Marvel to make this movie.

I mean, the MCU is pretty clearly burnt out, and I wouldn't trust DC to make a movie worth watching.

[–] Indivisability9559@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I am someone who hasn't seen a DC movie since Dark Knight Returns, and who has only seen the Sam Reimi Trilogy and Amazing Spider-man 1 and 2. Is the MCU really as good as people say it is? The trailers I've seen just make them seem like mindless action films.

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

They aren't uniformly good, but the median quality is higher than DC.

To be clear, I'm only talking about the Infinity arc storyline, which terminates at End-Game. Nothing worthwhile after that.
