    Idk the message there is actually pretty good. If they follow the teachings of their prophet, then they’d leave us the hell alone.

      The message isn’t bad, but the image is bizarre in a lot of ways. Like I get that Jesus washed people’s feet… but why is this happening in the middle of the hallway in a high school? Why is she just dumping the water out on the floor instead of into a tub or basin? There’s a lot of AI generated logic here…

      It’s wild the things people justify based on one man getting nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be if everyone was nice to each other.

        Somewhere in Rickmansworth, there’s a girl sitting in a cafe who’s just realized what’s been going wrong all this time.

      A lot of things in Christianity are very good, they’ve just been co- opted by right wing conservatives for 2000 years who say one thing and then do the opposite.

      Sorta.

      The hegetsus ad campaign made it very clear who was “Christian” and who was “other”. If you were having your feet washed you were: immigrant/LGBT/alternative/brown. If you were washing feet you were a WASP.

      Part of that is their target audience is WASPs. Inasmuch as they’re able to deradicalize WASPs that’s a good thing… But they’re further entrenching a narrative of white Christian saviors here to serve the poor dumb “other”, which is toxic.

        It seems like it is meant to show though the people around her do not follow her faith, that she still treats them with kindness. I don’t care if Christian’s think of me as an “other”. I only care that they keep that to themselves and show kindness. We’re all hypocrites in some way or another anyway.

      Well they are following their prophet. He wanted them to follow the word of the god of the Old Testament. He was just a PR man for a religion that continued to push slavery, misogyny, hate for pretty much anyone who didn’t follow along with their religion.

      No where in their good book does this Jesus fella ever disband any of that horrible shit the god did years before, and Christians throughout history and up to today continue to push that horrible worldview.
