Do you think Elon bros love Jesus? It doesn't strike me that way personally.
A lot of Christians don't seem to like Jesus ethier. They just like the brand.
I think a lot of conservative "Christians" think that if they pretend like they are following the way of Christ according to their bastardized version where they hate queer people, that they'll somehow be able to declare themselves right and be able to stay the mean shits that they are. When in reality Jesus would not approve of their behaviour at all.
Edited to add: I actually practice Christianity and go to a very progressive church. I love queer people, I think conservatives are a cancer on society, and I believe in birth control and abortion rights like I invented them. I am not wild about Jesus or the Bible, and I mostly attend because I believe in a God and I think attending a community space where we want to be better humans together in a happy and life giving way is a vital part of life. I do not in any way expect people to believe what I do and I welcome most points of view, conservative trash and Nazis excluded. I have sort of a gnostic view I guess where I think intelligence and the ability to act accordingly is what saves you as a human.
But everything conservatives are doing religiously to me is utter self serving rotten trash.
I'm a "progressive" Christian as well. Quoting Bible verses to MAGA's is a fun exercise. They often get this guilty looking expression for a minute and then just kind of shake it off and go back to whatever hypocritical BS they were up to before.
It's fascinating to watch.
It's absolutely absurd. They're so awful.
More of the right will identify as Christian’s but the left is much closer to the teachings of Jesus because the fruits of the spirit are: love, compassion, empathy, understanding, kindness, gentleness, truthfulness, brotherhood, forbearance, faith, joy, just to name a few.
When thinking of those “fruits” not many people think of the conservative Christian’s. It bothers me more than anything they hide behind their “beliefs” to push their personal agenda that goes directly against the teachings of Jesus. Gives Christianity a bad name, then again I would say each religion has it’s own group of extremist that make the whole look bad.

Where's the picture of Muhammed?
Jesus also works for Islam, in fact he's the most mentioned character in Quran.
You also just put God and it would work for three religions plus their derivatives

I honestly think Jesus would be a little embarrassed to have people hanging on his every word and ascribing meanings to it in the form of a book report on them every Sunday that he probably didn't mean. It's nice to teach us how to treat others and so on, but people loudly assuring others that Jesus loves them; well I have trouble believing Jesus thinks a lot of child predators and rapists myself. And I like what Jesus taught, but I don't think everyone in the world is salvageable.
I'd be curious AF what he thought about all these depictions of him as a white dude with straight, light brown hair

Who's the hat guy
Don't agree. I'm not Christian, but I would replace Jesus with Steve Jobs. Or just the apple logo.

Why catholics hate queers so much if Jesus was into drag?
Some questions history can’t answer.
Fun fact. Joseph's coat of many colors is more accurately translated as a coat with long sleeves. That likely references an outfit made from a mother's bridal gown and passed to the daughter.
That is: Joseph was an effiminate youngest child who didn't do men's work and wore women's clothing. He was also persecuted by his brothers for it.
He also ended up being the de facto ruler of Egypt and savior of the Jewish people.

Seriously Jesus. You're a cool guy, and I know your thing is you take in the broken, but your other thing was suppose to be love. Like you said one commandment, love, and that shit is severely lacking.
I think the person Jesus actually was loved everyone, but the trouble is conservative people hate gay people and rewrote the texts to say that.
Yeah, Jesus, the historical figure was trying to reshape Judaism. He wanted to reform things and he wanted the focus to be on loving your brother. He got killed for it and he knew it would kill him because he was hanging out with the religious leaders.
Then by a miracle he succeeded because he didnt have any transgressions against the temple and he followed Jewish teachings but was still setup to be crucified in the worst way imaginable.
Then after that he was co-op'd for other purposes but his message is still true. Believing in christ is believing a man named Jesus lived and he was killed by no fault of his own but for the benefit of others.
Being a Christian means you understand Christ's message. Its real easy, love your brother, and you live in a way that reflects that.
And for God's sake stop hating queer people. It's absolutely against everything Christ teaches and is a made up bit of nonsense.
Christ today would hang out at pride festivals and preform gender affirming miracles.
Here is a beautiful poem about that:
THAT'S what Jesus is, not some holy slobbering uneducated filth yelling about groomers.

To be fair, there is a considerable amount of overlap.
I like how the Amazing Apartheid Boy is trying to do a Trump scowl - and it manages to look just as characteristically fake as Trump's does.

Fanbases plural?
They're the same picture meme for sure
Rich doesn’t smart just as religious doesn’t mean moral
I mean, as a high schooler I enjoyed ba with da bah and whatever else was on that album. I still find some enjoyment in those songs, but I think it's mostly nostalgia.
Not sure what my point is. Shame he's a conservative piece of shit. As an adult I'm not exactly surprised.
