    Wow, quite wild to see some Lemmings get wooshed this hard by an Adam Ellis comic. Though I guess it’s mostly aimed at his audience on Bluesky or Reddit. I follow him on the former. He’s been experimenting a lot ever since he left Buzzfeed.

    Anyway, look at the exaggerated arch in his back. Look at the barbie-font Jesus poster. Acknowledge Ellis’ work is often very LGBT (when it’s not horror, lol). He’s poking fun at hypocrite religious folks, or maybe he’s making fun of how very gay it is to get on your knees for Jesus. Or maybe however you interpret it… I mostly just giggled at that fucking ARCH of a back.

    Basically, Christianity is so gay, lol.

        Agreed. It’s way easier to get in context from his bluesky, he doesn’t call his comics Christian Comix lol.

      Yeah, I mean there’s not a big huge punchline, but this was clearly a bit of a general send-up, and also prodding at a very specific “Tim Tebow” type of muscular Christianity.

      That type of Christian man is big and strong, but also extremely manicured and soft-spoken (even while saying the usual heinous shit) and “effeminate” by certain heteronormative standards. The look and vibe lends itself to fairly easy jokes about men who are closeted or so naive they don’t realize they’re closeted, which will needle some and maybe give others food for thought. Anybody who’s spent time in the Bible Belt will have met the dude in this comic, and maybe his wife.

        It also helps to be familiar with evangelical worship music. Strong Jesus-is-my-boyfriend vibes in many of those lyrics.

        Some of us have had the dude in this comic, in the garage while his wife was asleep in the house. Personally I won’t do these types but they’re a favorite among some of my friends.

      Does an exaggerated arch suggest fellatio? I think I get the premise, but I’m not 100% confident.

        I think so. It’s also really feminine which is counter to the alpha male thing.

    This comic is fucking disgusting. Please take it down. We don’t need children exposed to such sickening depictions of reality.

    First of all, who the fuck goes to bed at 7pm? Second of all, why is sexy Jesus on the wall, and not on the ceiling (so we can pray, even when our eyes are half-lidded), and finally, how is the moonlight so bright when its a waning crescent?!

    I won’t object to someone doing this as long as they shut up about it, don’t boast to me about it, and basically don’t say any of that stuff in the speech bubbles under any circumstances. I find that these kinds of people are unbearable and eat other Christians alive rather than nurturing a community.
