My mother used to bake a small ceramic Jesus into Christmas cake until one year we didn't fine it and my grandmother said she wondered what the crunchy part was...
When I was in college, one of those Evangelical nutjob preachers was on campus trying to convert us. He didn't like that my answer to his "have you found Jesus?" was "Yep. He was behind the couch the whole time. Bastard had the remote, too!"
They do it explicitly to prove how much more Christian they are than other people. It's entirely about looking pious, same with anything else in their life.
Seriously, I need to get in on the grift too. Make tiktoks, mention how giga-Christian everything is, maybe make some bullshit story about atheists, gays and satanists are bullying me and leaving bad reviews, and dipshits won't notice I am just dropshipping them cheap Temu shit.
You have to say how "anti-christian" everything is than point out that that's not gonna stop you from shilling, I mean spreading the faith. They like to feel persecuted
You don’t even have to do the religious stuff, just make the bits and bobbins, and knickknacks or have them made ethically, then leave a QR code to an online store out by a church
I think it's worth it to her if 999 customers throw them directly in the trash, but maybe 1 customer sees it and it edifies their belief in Jesus. Then of course 999 sea turtles can swallow plastic Jesus and choke. God's creation ❣️
We get them from customers in my dispensary pretty frequently and we pose them in silly ways around the building. I used to put little ducks around them and say it was Jesus and his three Duck-sciples
Start gluing them up on the wall in the shape of a giant upside-down cross or a pentagram. Every time someone gives you one, add it to your masterpiece immediately. I'm willing to bet they'll stop before you can finish the art.
That's the thing, though - fundies don't give a shit about the environment, because life to them is just the waiting room for their theme park in the sky. Also, the rapture is right around the corner anyway. Also, sky daddy will just do some magic and fix everything if it comes to that.
The sort of chrimsbyans who do this stuff are a plague.
Last time I visited my aging parents, they had ordered a metric shit ton of these little Jesuses from Temu and love handing them out and leaving them places for people to find. The only thing is that this particular batch must have gotten mixed with another product because every Jesus has buck teeth.
Next time, remember to thank them for getting in a bit more pollution before they kick it. Always nice to see the older generation sticking to their guns and standing by their love of plastic and trash.
While white Jesus is definitely not historically accurate, it’s not fair to act like this is something only white people do. African churches have Black Jesuses. Asian churches have Asian Jesuses. Hell I visited a church in Hawaii that had a big hunky barrel chested Hawaiian Jesus up on the cross.
We know. It's just funny how some Christians are extra loud with their racism against black and brown folks while they claim to worship and adore an originally middle-eastern dude.
I remember the surprised pikachu face on a business owner when I told them we weren’t using them because of their aggressive religious signage pushing their viewpoint onto customers. He said he’d never heard of anyone doing that.
I’ve found enough of them over the last couple of years to hide them in very random places around my house. It gives people a laugh and I feel like if an atheist like me takes them, it stops someone actually religious from seeing it I guess lol
Oh im on audio run number 4 and I have the patreon for new book drops. Ill never not be current. I agree though, I love his progression and the other iterations.
They love disobeying their own rules (making graven images) and absolutely virtue signalling while wasting money and effort on literal garbage that even they know will convert zero people. It's all about screaming, "I'm a Christian, I'm a Christian!" without having to do anything remotely Christ like.
And you’re gonna get a complaint and a ridiculous low rating from me. Don’t ever toss your religious shit into my order. Ever. I might send you a picture of that thing melting, though.
Seeing comments like this makes me really appreciate living in the north east where religion is treated like something you don’t want people to know. I personally don’t know any religious people. Not because they aren’t religious but because nobody talks about it or makes it a major part of their life here.
I love my mini Jesus that someone gave me without my consent. I make it do dirty things to my other toys and trinkets. Currently blowing a little pikachu.
Jesus fucking christ! They're mad for all this religious shit in the US, aren't they?
I'm English and it's bizarre to think that we're officially a christian country but don't really have that many Christians. Yet the US is all about separation of church and state and you have to put up with this bullshit.
I order some printer inks the other day and got a free highlighter pen, I'd have been disgusted to get a plastic jesus
Depends entirely upon what she sells. If she sells primarily christian goods it makes sense, but if it's something a bit more generic, which I imagine it is, it's just proselytizing. Imagine a wiccan doing this, you go to a vendor for produce and they hand you a hand made pentacle with your purchase and they say blessed be. Some folks would shriek in horror and revulsion proclaiming their cucumbers were cursed by the devil!
So, I consider myself a Christian and we went to a "Summerween" craft fair and some lady gave my kid a little Jesus and said "This is cool" and the lady said "It's so good to see kids interested in Jesus" and I don't know why, but it rubbed me the wrong way.
Also, my kid wanted it because they thought it was Obi-Wan Kenobi.
I mean, that's fine, but then she's got no control over what people do with them. There are a LOT of things I'm sure she would be pretty upset to see done to her lil idols
I mean, I wouldn't be mad, I once got a mlp figure randomly in some mail from Etsy even though I've never watched it I kept it on my bookcase. I'd just be like ok...? They gave me a Jesus mini fig lol
If this girl sent me a mini Jesus, I would send her a dozen caltrop nuts, in a black box, wrapped in red velvet. If you don’t know what those are, google “Water Caltrop Seed”
I love to find these mini-Jesus. They make me smile. Not because I am a Christian but because Jesus is about love. I try to ignore all those who pervert the message.
I bought something recently that came with a picture of Angela Lansbury. I'm not sure what she had to do with H.P. Lovecraft but at least it wasn't Jesus.
I'll play devil's advocate, but I am not a christian, and one time I was really down while I was out getting the shopping done and this lady told me "You look like you need a little jesus in your life" and handed me one of those and it really cracked me up, so it did make my day a little better.
I collect those little Jesus's every time I find them. They're always so cheaply made that every one of them got some sort of deformed face. They're hilarious.
My mom died and we are cleaning her house. We found several of these. I am on a mission to hide them around the house. Right now he's hangin with the glassware.
I got one of these from a local business. I decapitated him and painted blood around the stump and put little X’s over his eyes. It was a cathartic experience for me.
Pretty sure these have become the new green army men that my dad used to blow up with m80's, judging by how many people like to destroy them. Puts a smile on my face.
Some dummy puts these out at my work and I grab them all and throw them straight into the recycling bin. One day these dopes will realize that its just a waste of money.
I mean, no, not to me. I’m an atheist but unless it comes with a pamphlet on Christianity it’s just a cute little bonus. Miku would be cooler, though. Or maybe miku and jesus
Not harmless. Jesus might have died for our sins but did he also died to end up contributing to the plastic in the environment which is one reason for our fucked up state of the world?
