    I now understand the feeling of cultural appropriation. I’m atheist but I grew up catholic and that depiction of jesus is culturally inappropriate

      But he COMPLETED the law! Which means I can ignore all the old law that I find inconvenient. But he didn’t REPLACE the law, which means I can still criticize anything I think is yucky.

    That’s honestly he most disturbing picture of Jesus I’ve ever seen. Visceral disgust kinda reaction.

    Like a poor, scrawny carpenter was some ripped American meatball. Fuck me, I’m an atheist and this is gross.

    The man bought a gun and owned it for like 9 days many years ago around the same time he was filming himself on drugs. Every gun owner in a state that buy legal cannabis in any fashion would be guilty of the same thing. It’s just a bad law because you can be an alcoholic (which is a drug, hence a drug addict, hence requiring those to lie on the form) with as many guns as you want.

      Or idk, perhaps try to keep guns away from any substance abusers, be the substance they abuse legal or not.

      But that’s specifically abuse I’m talking about, not reasonable recreational use.

          Of course it is.

          But preventing abusers from getting guns is much easier in a system where the default is not “until proven crazy, anyone can have a gun”.

          So where I live you need a doctor’s note saying you don’t have issues like that before getting a gun.

          Ofc you can develop the problem after getting the permits, but I know a few gun owners who developed an alcohol problem and one so massive they started being violent towards others when properly pissed.

          Both had their guns taken away.

    The left/liberal/Democrat voters aren’t going to use this perfectly good lay up to troll the right with symbolism like this or the obvious throw their opponents views back at them. Too much work. They will instead take the opportunity to miss their shot and shit on people they think are beneath them, like Jesus.

      Isn’t this meme throwing their rhetoric back at them though? It highlights how absurd it looks when they make this crazy religious political rhetoric that makes a criminal out to be some “godly” man.

      This cynical use of religion is a pretty good satirization of what right-wingers do.
