I recently saw one with the Jesus fish and an AK-47 sticker.
I immediately realized I probably don’t ever wanna talk to this person.
"I love Jesus. I'll help you meet him" -definitely a weird take
You know what Jesus would’ve loved? Guns!
I think this person is deeply confused.

Christianity was founded on violence, and has continued the tradition ever since.
Western Christianity was co-opted by the Roman state with predictable consequences. But it was already "founded". There was no undoing the fact that core Christianity was "do no resist an evil person", "turn the other cheek", "love your enemy" etc. All features that are inconvenient to a would-be organiser of religious wars.
Sure, if you ignore the whole "anyone who doesn't believe this deserves to and will be tortured for eternity" part, which is why it was so easy to co-opt in the first place.
Jesus was a long haired, brown skinned, hippie from the middle east.
American Christians would have drone striked him.
Yes, I think Jesus would be almost unique in drawing equal amounts of hate from both the left and right of America. Telling people to lay down their arms while being against gay marriage will do that lol
I drove around with a Jesus fish on the back of one of my cars for 5 years. It looked like it belonged there. It was a raised plastic fish covered with chrome on a silver car.
One day a guy said to me, “I thought you were a non believer.” “What made you say that? Catch me saying, “god please!” or something?” I said.
“Well, you got a religious thing on the back of your car!”
How did I not know that? It was on there so long at that point that I was attached to it. Haha
I can absolutely believe that. I’ve heard of dealers adding a logo in similar font and color and it going unnoticed for years.
"Religious? I like fishing!"
Religious? No... It's a cancer ribbon. To help fight soul cancer.
Gotta nuke sum'n
I mean... religious types like guns, commonly. That's a normal thing to see
Unless you're commenting on it being a Russian made gun, then yeah that's kinda weird
Well it’s weird cause Jesus said turn the other cheek not embrace murder tools
New Testament word count for Jesus: approximately 1,500 to 2,000
New Testament word count for the Apostle Paul: 32,408
Do you know why women are not allowed to become Pastors at your local church? The bottom-line answer is what Paul wrote in First Timothy 2:10-25
"A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. But I do not allow a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a wrongdoer."
Seriously, Google this question and look at all the twisted logic used to justify that a woman's role is not to lead. Now, think about this for a moment, and about all the people who fully believe in this stuff, who attended Sunday School as a kid, who grew up listening to their male pastors year after year.
Do you really think someone who believes a woman should never be pastor and lead a church congregation, is that person going to vote for a woman to be President and lead the country?
Not sure what you’re trying to say to me here but my simple point was these religious people are hypocrites and generally ignorant to what Jesus taught, and no I’m not a believer
And the result of that is...
