Back in the day, a friend's parents had a picture of Jesus and George Washington laying hands on Bush Jr. hanging on their wall during his presidency joker-troll

Now I'm an atheist so I wouldn't know but this is blasphemy right?

Oh very much so. To me this is antichrist worship, almost.

From Mr. Muller's own "about the author" blurb:

Helgard Muller grew up amidst the majestic scenery surrounding a small town called Louis Trichardt, at the foothills of the Soutpansberg Mountains in the Transvaal province of South Africa. As a young boy, he loved the Apartheid era South Africa, and while growing up was fascinated with the bible. Those were the days, my friend; we thought they would never end. In his lifetime, since early childhood, he has and researched numerous Bibles literally into shreds

Wait, literally to shreds? Did he eat bibles thinking it was research?

If so, were they hardcover?

I hope so, i want his ass hurting as much as possible

There’s something both amusing and kind of irritating about the general mawkishness and sentimentality underlying this sort of thing. Think about that one painting of Jesus taking a heroin hit for a kind of tough looking guy, or those portraits of presidents playing cards.
