People aren’t laughing at you because you’re Christian in Texas you morons, they’re laughing at you because you think you’re being persecuted for your religion when you live somewhere where 80 percent of the population is Christian.
Even if it were 100% they would still find some way to play the victim.
Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?" He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.

Which is why I don’t take people like this seriously in any way, shape, or form.
The most unrealistic part of this is a conservative christian actually reading the bible. Unless he is just using it as a prop which is on form with these types.
There's a Sears lingerie catalog inside it
The second most unrealistic part is the guy on the left holding the phone with his fingers fused together
Reminds me of this one
Can't believe people would treat a cunt like a cunt
No one hates Christians more than suburban white people in golf shirts. Everyone knows that.
Where is this pictured, the DMV? No one is that happy at the DMV.
Looks like ai?
it's definitely AI. look at some of the hands.
I thought so too. There's one background head just left of the central figure's face that looks extremely off, and the teeth/mouths on many of them are kind of a giveaway, but there's nothing really conclusive here that I can find.
The idea that is the thesis of this image is so stupid that they can't even find a real person willing to draw it for them.
Persecution Fetish.
It leads them to teach their children that they need to be ready to die for their beliefs. It's fucked up.
It's easy to make fun of this, but the sentiment it's expressing explains so much about how Christians and conservatives in general are motivated.
The first premise is that conservatives in general are fixated on what's "normal". It's very important to them that they're in the mainstream and the majority. But they see faces that aren't like theirs in the media, on the streets, and worst of all in power. Their favorite show expresses values they don't hold. All the institutions celebrate black history and LGBT pride.
This is a problem because if what's normal changes, they'll have to change to be normal. Or even worse, they'll be excluded from the normal. This is a threat to their identities.
This is how I understand irrational Conservative issues like the 'war on woke' or the 'border crisis'. Trump speaks to this fear and anxiety in everything he does. When they say that "he's come to save us" that's what they're talking about.
Thing is, they are. Not because they're Christians (most people don't care), not because they're reading the bible (Most of them don't anyway), but because they post shitty memes like this to feed their victimization fetish.
i care that they're christians. i grew up in the bible belt south in the 80's. fuck these people. they wanna ruin my life? i'll gladly return the favor.
They're laughing because he was reading out loud and just got to Ezekiel 23:20
Ezekiel 23:20
Please mark that NSFW. I read it out loud on the bus and almost got arrested
I know of this lust
This made me realize, I’ve never ever seen anyone genuinely reading the bible.
That's because it's not worth reading, it's very derivative and essentially it's just a rehashing of Life Of Brian anyway.
It's got a lot of good stuff. Like, "the worker deserves their wages", no wait let's throw that out, and "take care of the poor & needy", no let's ditch that too, and "your breasts are fiiiiine gurl", no wait let's never read that out loud ever, anywhere.
My favorite is "be skeptical - test everything", oh no wait no let's redact that too... (I just realized how that doesn't mesh with the most important verse of all: "just do whatever we tell you, no questions asked, capiche?")
The hilarious part is not that they are reading the Bible - it is that they are not! Likewise for the Constitution that they showed up on January 6th to "defend".
My SO grandma reads Bible explanation books. Stuff is wild I read some and it talks about aliens and dimension compacting and all kinds of sci-fi stuff but packaged in a very weird way.
Isn’t “Texan Secession” one of those Russian psyop accounts?
I became an atheist after reading the bible.
From someone who lives in this shithole: this has never happened except for maybe a few times on a super edgy atheist subreddit for teenagers.
No white Christian dude in Texas has ever experienced this. We get it, bro. You’re the victim. You and every other Jesus-loving white guy in office right now, passing laws to take away the rights of anyone not like you. Even if this did happen, you’re all victims because a few guys laughed at you while you read your sacred book.
How did you ever move on from this moment?
Yeah. We are laughing at them. It’s their own fault for being laughable.
They’ve been doing far, far worse to everyone else for thousands of years, so a bit of online snickering shouldn’t hurt them. Like witch trials, the inquisition, the crusades, the holocaust, lynchings – that’s all fine, but their god forbid we make a few jokes online… that’s too far.
Lol Prudence, fucking suck it up.
They're not laughing at him for reading the bible, they're laughing at him dressing up to go on a plane like it's the 1950s, fuckin nerd.
Well its true, just more ln an international stage. Locally, those fools rule the roost.
I live in Texas and I'm laughing. All the way to the grave. Pls send help.
May they be granted all the oppression they crave and more. Amen 🙏🛐✝️😏
Where?
When?
Give me one fucking example.yhat this ever happened?
Crickets
When they knock on my door. I laugh
When I see them preach on the street. I laugh
When I see them on tv. I laugh.
When I see them voted into government. I stop laughing.
How dare they find your loyalty to your imaginary friend comical!!
True Christians, who actually follow Christ's philosophy, are few and far between.
These people are Mammonites.
its funny because I thought the majority of texas was christian. who knew? /s
AI art used in an attempt to manipulate our fellow mentally weak individuals to side with what we want, just as 'JESUS' taught us.
So persecuted :(
Damned Romans…
I guess I'd laugh if they weren't so dangerous
If “true texans” understand the experience of being mocked publicly for their religion who’s doing it? Sure we can mock them online, but nobody here in the Midwest is mocking me for being proud of how cheap I get stuff or how friendly I am. Sure some people may but I don’t interact with them on a regular basis because I’m following my regional cultural values in that area.
So my real question here is: isn’t this admitting that many Texans aren’t christians
It goes much deeper than that, imho: "every accusation is a confession". It bespeaks how they make fun of the ones that they do not agree with - and therefore imagine that the "other side" simply MUST be doing that to them (regardless of any evidence yay or nay to that effect).
But to answer your question: yes there are a lot of "city folk" inside of Texas - mostly Austin and Dallas - but since they are concentrated into those areas, the state overall votes along with the rural base. Except that they fear that their children even in the rural areas are leaving Christianity in droves, so that too.
Mostly though, it is a "truthiness" statement - not meant to be factually correct so much as to evoke an emotional response. e.g. the Holy Bible, which they claim to revere, says things like "judge not, let you be judged in return" applied to non-Christians but also has enormous punishments for Christian LEADERS who are caught in things like infidelity especially with under-age children, both of which need to be swapped 100% in reverse in order to match their actions as depicted in this meme. As in, maybe people aren't making fun of you b/c you follow the Bible, but b/c you claim to but then don't?
that's Pride talking, grandma, and you're going to Hell for sharing that meme about your Pride
I bet all sorts of things could be photoshopped in there... :-O
I only laugh at people who think their Jesus preaches intolerance and cruelty the way they preach.
I laugh at those who think Jesus would be on their side, when they worship supply-side Jesus.
