When I was in high school I still had energy so I had many conversations with various varieties of theists. I remember a conversation that meandered to different topics, one of which involved the Westboro Baptist Church, and I actually made some sort of joke about figs.

The friend of mine had no idea what I was talking about.

I remember saying something like, "no it's like... canonically god hates figs." Because it's a funny joke and also true according to the Bible.

It would make a good story if my friend got all pissy about it but they didn't. It was more of an unsatisfying, "well I don't remember that part" because life isn't a movie.

But that story is so stupid (the Jesus one). I forget, it just fell on his head right? Nope I looked it up - HE WAS PISSED BECAUSE FIGS WEREN'T IN SEASON AND MAGIC CURSED IT.

@weariedfae @illectrility in the end, it is a funny story, for some of us.

I actually think it's one of the better parts of the Jesus character development story. He regrets using his godly power in an unjust way and it humanizes him. Compare that to the isekai Mary Sue "we left the child in the temple and he lectured the rabbi." That was just dumb OP bullshit.

I love that story because its not like he didn't like figs he just got pissed at that particular tree, and threw a god tantrum cuz he was hangry

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 months ago

Dude walks up to a fig tree when it's out of season, tries to get a fig from it, and instead of using his god magic to just make a fig he's just like "what the FUCK alright this tree sucks nobody eat from it anymore"

Spare some context for a fellow ?

Figs sounds a lot like a certain slur that horrible Christians use.

[-] weariedfae@lemmy.world 23 points 4 months ago

But also Jesus magic cursed a fig tree because it pissed him off by not being in season.

Make the second letter an 'a'

Fags, which is currently a derogatory term for gay men.

[-] THE_MORTAL 5 points 4 months ago

Ah ty. I don't know why people won't say it like not acknowledging it won't make it go away .

Some people don't understand that there's a difference between using a term in explanation, and using it maliciously.

[-] muntedcrocodile@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Fuck the fags.

I prefer to leave it ambiguouse. Am i being maliciouse or encouraging who knows.

☝️ Not today, Jesus.

[-] tygerprints@kbin.social 1 points 4 months ago

Well there is no use of the f@g word in the bible anywhere anyway so, it's unlikely god or jesus would had anything to say about them at all. If the intent of the bible means anything, then we must treat everyone as we would want ourselves - and our figs - to be treated.
