i just realized that people who see visions of jesus don’t become christians because they saw jesus but primarily because of the preexisting cultural christian idea that you don’t argue with/challenge visions

like, jews have a long and established tradition of getting missives directly from G-d and being like “excuse me, the fuck”. if your automatic response to jesus appearing to you is to accept christianity there must be an institutional force at work telling you that’s the inevitable outcome, in addition to whatever genuine religious experience occurs. (and i don’t doubt the validity of those experiences.)

like because of this i used to be afraid that jesus would appear to me and i’d Have To become a christian but in reality i could just be like “hey wanna watch me turn on a faucet” and walk out still a Jew

lads it’s happening. In my class today I asked my students what they thought the rainbow represented in an old painting of the Noah’s Ark story. Dead silence for about 30 seconds, then one brave teen piped up “gay pride?”

we’ve stolen the rainbow from the Christians. we’ve finally done it
