Imagine if Jesus came back, what would Republicans tell him to do to change his image?

This is just for some laughs, please don't start a debate about whether Jesus is real in the comments, it's boring and not the point.

@RickiTarr

"Have you tried a double breasted suit? Image matters my friend"

@RickiTarr Gender criticals would be yaping at him for wearing a dress
@matty Is Jesus Trans?! I can just see the headline

@RickiTarr

Get your hair cut son.

@RickiTarr Cast the first stone. Hard. And donโ€™t apologize.

@allenmichie @RickiTarr

I was gonna say, "hey Jesus, it would really help us out if you could murder some dogs, you know?"

@RickiTarr they would tell the hippy to dress properly, get a shave and put some shoes on.
@RickiTarr Cut his hair. Stop giving out free healthcare.

@retrosponge @RickiTarr ...and food shouldn't be given to the needy. Stop it with the shoals of fish thing, m'kay?

Oh, and the right side of the boat to get more fish trick? Nix that! One per customer!

@RickiTarr

โ€œYou need to learn to speak good American English. Lose the accent, weโ€™re getting you a speech coach. Youโ€™re looking a bit on the thin side, weโ€™re getting you a personal trainer. We definitely need to work on that overall tan, we have a couple of really good dermatologists for that. Oh yeah, the social justice schtick wonโ€™t cut it anymore. We have a brain trust that will rebrand you as a Man of the People, the Savior of the Masses, the Helper of the Needy.โ€

@RickiTarr "you could at least learn to talk American good if you're gonna stay here" (also applies even if Jesus appears somewhere outside the Anglosphere)
@doctorLURK @RickiTarr (sorry. but as an English teacher I couldnt let it slide. speak American good, not talk American good. One is verb and the other is not.)

@RickiTarr

Jeez, start wearing socks with those sandals, why dont'cha.

@cgsines @RickiTarr Jeez being short for "Jesus" makes this so much better

@RickiTarr

Whaddaya mean, you give food to homeless people? Dantcha know that's illegal in these parts?

@ParadeGrotesque Wait, you're homeless, okay, that's illegal, so...
@RickiTarr Put the moneychangers back in the temples, stop being woke
@RickiTarr They wouldn't tell him anything, they'd kill him outright. Just like they did last time.

@rrb @RickiTarr

Why does Swole Zombie Jesus remind me of Keanu Reeves?

@rrb @RickiTarr

Like, as if.... Remember: no Tattoos in heaven๐Ÿ˜ณ

@cindyyusa @rrb Jesus just heals them when he's ready lol

@rrb @RickiTarr

Ok, I take it all back. There IS a use for generative AI.

@RickiTarr โ€œListen JC, we need to cut all this shit out about the meek inheriting the Earth, blessed are the merciful, yadda yadda yadda. Thatโ€™s about the most un-American crap Iโ€™ve ever heard in my life. Try that shit in Alabama and theyโ€™ll nail you up again, and frankly, Iโ€™ll help them.โ€
@RickiTarr The first thing people would do is tell him that those Beatitudes sound "weak." Then ask him why he's so "Middle-Eastern" looking.
@kimlockhartga @RickiTarr
Yeah like publish your long-form birth certificate already

@RickiTarr
Don't be so Middle Eastern.

If you must be Middle Eastern, have the decency to hate other Middle Easterners.

@SoftwareTheron I'm just imagining how hard they'd be sucking air through their teeth
@RickiTarr
Especially the long pointy ones.
@RickiTarr ๐Ÿ˜‚ โ€œnooooooo, no no no no. You gotta curb that money to the poor bullshit right now. We hate the poor and so do you nowโ€
@Utah44 @RickiTarr Whoa. What's with the talk? Here. I'll give the kid a special coin. It's green even though fresh ones are copper. And moldy. But it's Roman and that means the gods are smiling on you or something.
@RickiTarr Less โ€œturn the other cheek,โ€ moreโ€ ploughshares into swords.โ€
@RickiTarr "This cheeseburger is my body. Eat this in remembrance of me. This ice-cold Pepsi Max...."
@RickiTarr Ummm... don't wear the white. It shows off your... Wait!...what's with the skin tone, dude!?
@RickiTarr You're gonna get that temple mount thing back for us, right?
@RickiTarr Theyโ€™d start off by making him white.
@RickiTarr Total points for this: "This is just for some laughs, please don't start a debate about whether Jesus is real in the comments, it's boring and not the point."
@jgobble @RickiTarr it should be my pinned toot. I swear, every time I post something, it veers off immediately into endless debates about irrelevant points.
@GottaLaff @RickiTarr (I'm probably one of those who pull your posts off-topic... sorry. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ)
@jgobble Lol, it's okay. The only reason I get annoyed is the infighting... and also the replies overwhelming my feed about something I didn't even raise. @RickiTarr
@GottaLaff @jgobble It is one of the things I just accept about Mastodon, I just don't want people to fight lol
