Can someone tell me why "christians" in the US are so obsessed with Jesus instead of god? Like most other places I've been Christians tend to worship God directly.
I think it’s less of a Christian thing and more of a Protestant thing, particularly Baptist. Catholics aren’t as obsessed with Jesus.
Catholics are weirdly obsessed with virgin Mary
Can confirm, I was weirdly obsessed with the virgin merry back when I was Catholic
How did you feel about pip?
Nah, he was just in it for the breakfasts. Fuck that guy...
They're all about God too, but it seems intuitive that they're also specifically interested in Jesus too since he's the one that literally sets them apart from other religions.
Like... he's literally the "Christ" in "Christian"...kinda makes sense that they'd be all about him.
To clarify though they're only interested white Jesus, not to be confused with brown Jesus.
Depending on what sect of Christianity you belong to, you either believe that Jesus was God's son or that Jesus was actually God in a human body. The concept is called transsubstantiation, and it is controversial among Christians. For example: Catholics believe in the Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit utilizing token transsubstantiation during Communion (the bread and wine are LITERALLY his body and blood), whereas Protestants believe in direct transsubstantiation, that Jesus was literally God in a human body and Communion is performed as a symbolic gesture.
Its the holy trinity
Shopping, guns and Jeebus?
Jesus, guns, babies! Come on, we just went over this. We even painted it on the side of the bus!
Sorry, I forget. Does it have to be in this particular order?
You need to make the baby before you start shooting and praying.
