Me: *thinking about Christian memes* What if Jesus had come in 2017 instead of back during Roman times? Would He, instead of using parables, have spoken in memes?
Roommate: I hate you. You aren’t allowed to have any more thoughts about Jesus.
Me: It’s not like its heresy! It isn’t insulting!
Roommate: Yes, it is! Memes are inherently sin, a sign of the Devil’s influence on this fallen world!
Satan: turn these stones into bread
Jesus: bold of you to assume that man can live on bread alone
a fig tree out of season: *no figs*
jesus: then perish
Ok but from a purely theological standpoint, based on the way Jesus communicated (he talked in ways that would be understandable to at least some extent by the general public, and had a lot of respect for children)…
Theologically speaking, Jesus would almost certainly have spoken in memes.
“Whenever you crack open a cold one with the boys in my name, there I be in your midst”
become the old forest god with light in its seven pupilless eyes and shadows of long-gone animals playing around its flower-crowned coat that you always wished to be abducted by as a child
