You'd almost think this was a meme community and not concerned with things like historical accuracy in favor of amusing people, wouldn't you?
That's a pretty poor excuse since the meme makes a statement presented as factual that falls apart upon scrutiny. Without this connection, the meme is nothing.
Secondly, the meme isn't actually funny, it just validates the previously held beliefs of this community. There is no joke, just a poorly argued "gotcha". Validation feels good, but it's not actually humor even if the two is often confused.
Careful talking shit to him, he'll make it where you can't post on the instances he's a mod of. No abuse of power there....
It doesn't fall apart on scrutiny you're just too dense to understand it's not about dates of paintings and Christianity is largely based on other religions beliefs that christianity literally appropriated.
Jesus wasn't the first to walk on water or turn water into wine and he sure as hell wasn't born in December.
Fine. The meme isn't accurate to reality. What's the meme trying to say then? Isn't it only funny because "haha dumb Christians"? Doesn't ignoring the actual facts lump us just as much in the ignorant group?
If it's just a funny meme, and its accuracy isn't what matters, then fine. But also, fine to the guy who is correcting the facts. They're either both cool or neither cool.
If you're making fun of people for not knowing history, it would be a good idea to not expose your own ignorance of history while doing so. It's like screaming "look how much I'm like the people I hate!"
