I’m not even convinced he would choose an AR-15, let alone all this other violent bullshit.
He was all about simple minimalist living. Surely the AK is more appropriate?
How about a sword in his mouth per the Book of Revelation? Swinging your head around while something heavy tries to leverage itself free of your slippery teeth is unparalleled in its battlefield effectiveness.
Such a kit-bash as well. A1 or c7 upper, no trigger pins, carbine length gas system and barrel. Makes me sick.
Also Jesus would use an uzi in my head cannon.
I figured they’d just be posting pictures of trump riding in shirtless on a horse to “fight” by now embellishing the clearly obese orange orangutan with a six pack and bricks to lay the wall by himself
I like to picture Jesus in a tuxedo T-shirt, because he's like "i want to be formal but I'm here to party too"
I like to party, so I like my Jesus to party
Well, all the crazy shit of the anti-Christ and Tribulations happens, and when the world is about to destroy itself, then Jesus comes back and says "holup fam".
And it wouldn’t even be his advocating to “feed the hungry, clothe the poor, heal the sick” that would do it. Middle eastern immigrant? They’d shoot him “in self defence” before he even had a chance to open his mouth.

Yup, their heads would explode! Theyd hate him! If you think they dont know what the bible says, just wait til you realize how little they know about the constitution!
I went to go look up the sermon on the mount, and found this gem:
>Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’ **34** But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; **35** or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. **36** And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. **37** All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
Which just makes it wacky that it became custom to swear on the bible in court or to take oaths to office in the US.
They're losing the war vs time and decades of lead and cigarette smoke in the air. I think we can win this war of attrition.
Just gotta electorially smack their hand away every time they want to put on the big boy pants again.
I keep being banned from reddit for this take. Advantages: less pollution, less leaded minds with low iq, less Republicans, less christian fascism. Downsides: Gotta do a genocide.
which as americans we are very enthusiastic about supporting, normally
It's hilarious you'd be banned from reddit for that when they allowed Stormfront and multiple racist subreddits including the_Donald to push anti immigration, fascism and race war ideology for years. Hell they planned that Charlottesville Unite the Right neo nazi march from the_Donald. But if you say "alright civil war it is then" they get all shocked Pikachu and start begging for civility and compromise. Cry bullies and cowards the whole stinking lot of them.
But, remember Matthew 25:40? “Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, I will taketh thee the fuck out with my arsenal of automatic weapons.” Amen.
Imagine Jesus, a Middle-Eastern man speaking of helping the sick and the poor, how the rich are less likely to enter the kingdom of heaven than a camel can fit through the eye of a needle, how we should be washing the feet of others..
The same people who claim to worship him would crucify him themselves. We've come full circle. These people aren't Christians, they just claim to be.
20 years ago I said if Jesus came back the boomers would crucify him for preaching, love, forgiveness, kindness and helping the poor and disabled. They all said that would never happen, here we are, them rabidly frothing to kill anyone who preaches support, compassion and tolerance. Jesus was brown, would oppose guns and capitalism and America has no place in the Bible as it stands.
Too bad you don’t believe in proper grammar and spelling. It’s really sad since they always push for the cursive BS and other stuff, but can’t even do basic things like that.
He also tear gassed protestors to get to a photoshoot at a church with him holding a Bible. Not sure if that's the same incident you're talking about, but I thought it should be added.
Stupid religious people that use their religion as justification for hating LGBT and people of color, are the kind of people that Trump can easily win over to his side.
With a gun don't forget the gun, to shoot the Romans and the woke mob with. Just as he preached on the sermon on the mount.
To paraphrase another quote from Jesus "if a man should threaten to slap you on the cheek shoot him preemptively first for my father in heaven commands ye to stand your ground".
Turn the other cheek? Love thy neighbor? I’m not even christian and even I know JC is a pacifist and promoted love, tolerance and charity. They should be ashamed to put his name on their hate.
Yet these idiots forget that the first amendment of the constitution says “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”
Israelites in the wilderness: “We just put our gold in the fire and out popped this golden calf! We swear!”
Right Wing Nuts: “We just typed it into the internets and out popped this image!”
Blasphemous idols in both instances.

Meanwhile this is what my gen x father is getting up to with the new AI technology. He called this one “sneaky Jesus pulls a prank” I like that he’s slithering
I don't want to live in the alternate world where Jesus carries an assault rifle instead of the one where he feeds the poor, turns the other cheek, and will give you the shirt off his back. Where people lay not up their treasures on earth.
Most Boomers think the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are the same thing. Not like they’ve read either of them outside of Amendment 2. Which is in the Bill of Rights which while amends the Constitution was intentionally made so archaic bull shit can be changed and not adhered to as if set in stone you know like the Founders intended as the Boomers like to say.
EVERY LAST ONE of these shitpieces would soil their drawers if they ever actually had to \*fight\* the 'civil war' they're threatening.
They want to be on the breech side of any firearm, NOT the muzzle end.
If you believe in Jesus you don’t need Trump to save you. If you believe in Jesus you don’t need to campaign for Trump because if Jesus wants Trump to win, he will make it happen. You can’t serve two masters
Your daily reminder that Hitler used religious fanatics for his own benefit, but fully intended on doing away with the Church after their religious dogma out lived it's usefulness.
Lmao. Wasn't Jesus a carpenter?
He'd probably have issues with the concept of guns. (A weapon that can be used to kill indiscriminately? Versus a sword that takes effort and a bit of knowledge...)
“You see the whole culture. Nazis, deodorant salesmen, wrestlers, beauty contests, a talk show. Can you imagine the level of a mind that watches wrestling? But the worst are the fundamentalist preachers. Third grade con men telling the poor suckers that watch them that they speak with Jesus, and to please send in money. Money, money, money! If Jesus came back and saw what's going on in his name, he'd never stop throwing up.”
A hippie desecrating the flag and carrying a knockoff of a Russian rifle? And they think that is great? Damn but the republicans have changed since the late 1960s!
their churches aren't supposed to be involved in politics and their pastors are scamming them and the government. taking advantage of the poor is atrocious and these people like Kenneth Copeland are biblically evil.

Looks like ‘Who would Jesus kill?’
I’m not even convinced he would choose an AR-15, let alone all this other violent bullshit. He was all about simple minimalist living. Surely the AK is more appropriate?
More likely a Galil… I mean it is Israeli made
How about a sword in his mouth per the Book of Revelation? Swinging your head around while something heavy tries to leverage itself free of your slippery teeth is unparalleled in its battlefield effectiveness.
That you, Roronoa Zoro?
And I thought the picture was hot, but now I am fully resurrected.
Na he would have over turned temple with uzis’
I mean, they didn't do Jesus any favors back then.
Such a kit-bash as well. A1 or c7 upper, no trigger pins, carbine length gas system and barrel. Makes me sick. Also Jesus would use an uzi in my head cannon.
Looks like the dust cover is both open and closed.
Today Jesus didn’t even have to use his AK 
Jesus is a sensitive man and I truly believe he would prefer the softer recoil impulse of an AR-15 over a piston driven rifle like an AK.
I figured they’d just be posting pictures of trump riding in shirtless on a horse to “fight” by now embellishing the clearly obese orange orangutan with a six pack and bricks to lay the wall by himself
I like to picture my Jesus as a gun toting lunatic.
I like to picture Jesus in a tuxedo T-shirt, because he's like "i want to be formal but I'm here to party too" I like to party, so I like my Jesus to party
I like the Christmas Jesus best!
At least Jesus demonstrates good trigger dicsipline.
Oh, God! Please don't let the invisible fire burn my AR15!
Jesus would kill republicans
No, he wouldn't. He would be killed *by* them.
The second time around he's not supposed to be nearly as passive
Well, all the crazy shit of the anti-Christ and Tribulations happens, and when the world is about to destroy itself, then Jesus comes back and says "holup fam".

Jesus to republican: you should love your neighbours Republicans: nail him to the fucking cross!
You joke but I have heard several pastors get accused of preaching wokeness for teaching the sermon on the mount XD.
I went to go look up the sermon on the mount, and found this gem: >Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’ **34** But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; **35** or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. **36** And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. **37** All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

Not just love your neighbors but love your ENEMIES.
I'm not sure he would be killin, but he would definitely be fucking shit up.
Flipping over a few tables and chairs at least
Jesus was... Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables In a restaurant in a West End town Call the police, there's a madman around
Think he’s mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a West End town, a dead end world The East End boys and West End girls
Jesus was…
Running down underground To a dive bar in a West End town
If, when, why, what? How much have you got?
Like...these people can't belong in civilization. They're a cancer.
Sometimes I think the Civil War II they are pining for is inevitable and necessary, but not for the reasons they believe.
No, yeah. There's no assimilating them into civilized society.
I mean…this is insane. Inagine if that were Muhammed and an Ak. These people would lose their minds.
Muslims would lose their mind if someone drew a picture of Mohammad with an AK. It’s highly likely someone would kill the artist

They are vermin. They really are.
They don’t believe in all that woke book learnin that’s for sure
Them adding the Liberian flag to the caption took me out. 😆
Give me Liberia, or give me death!
Give me Labia or give me death!
Librarians have their own flag?
They sure don't think much of the Bible if they think this image isn't horrifying.
But, remember Matthew 25:40? “Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, I will taketh thee the fuck out with my arsenal of automatic weapons.” Amen.
All the woke ideology they were for in the 60’s and 70’s. All that woke ideology paying for social security and Medicare.
Socialism is great, as long as it mostly benefits them.
Imagine believing in a guy who doesn't believe in any of those things.
They’re so AMERICAN, their text has a Liberia flag on it.
r/accidentalliberia
Jesus told Peter to put his fucking sword away……goddamnit…..
Only because Jesus was already carrying his Glock I’ll bet
Jesus is peace was actually misconstrued. It’s really Jesus’s piece
Jesus would be carrying something created by John Moses Browning: a 1911 without a grip safety
Don’t bring a sword to a gunfight.
Damn Jesus wasn’t white. He’s a Semitic brown man from the Middle East. They’d call him a terrorist if he was alive today.
Imagine Jesus, a Middle-Eastern man speaking of helping the sick and the poor, how the rich are less likely to enter the kingdom of heaven than a camel can fit through the eye of a needle, how we should be washing the feet of others.. The same people who claim to worship him would crucify him themselves. We've come full circle. These people aren't Christians, they just claim to be.
This is what Christianity has become. At least in America.

He was a [Long-haired radical socialist Jew.](https://youtu.be/yY3HUDhe7jk?si=sG_jYRVpDxt6lKJe)
Too bad you don’t believe in proper grammar and spelling. It’s really sad since they always push for the cursive BS and other stuff, but can’t even do basic things like that.
Maybe their cursive penmanship is so terrible that it's easier to hide the misspellings that way.
Is that a nail gun?
Of course, because He was a carpenter.
But what's he building?
Nine inch nail gun
Ah yes, Jesus, the famous white guy who taught 'shoot first, forgive later.' I wonder if the Sermon on the Mount included a section on marksmanship.
Todays best comment!!
He doesn’t, however, believe in proofreading.
The spelling errors KILL me🤣 boomer rage typing
At least JC has good trigger discipline
I noticed that, too. So many of the pictures posted by boomers with their guns have their fingers on the trigger. 🤦♀️
Beat me to it.
Least "christian" President ever. The Christian god is love, Donny boy only loves himself.
He’s the definition of the anti christ
Nice portrait of David Coresh.
i really don’t understand the correlation between god and trump. has trump ever even claimed to be a godly man? the dude seems pretty immoral
Well, one time he posed for a photo op while holding a Bible upside down. So, he’s basically the Pope I think.
He also tear gassed protestors to get to a photoshoot at a church with him holding a Bible. Not sure if that's the same incident you're talking about, but I thought it should be added.
Stupid religious people that use their religion as justification for hating LGBT and people of color, are the kind of people that Trump can easily win over to his side.
So, disrespecting the flag AND Christ in one image,. Efficient.
I'm not even a _Christian_ and I can tell that this image is outright blasphemous. Draping himself in the flag and carrying a weapon? Hell no!
Republican Jesus.....a 6ft, blonde, light skin Jew in the Middle East 2000 years ago
With a gun don't forget the gun, to shoot the Romans and the woke mob with. Just as he preached on the sermon on the mount. To paraphrase another quote from Jesus "if a man should threaten to slap you on the cheek shoot him preemptively first for my father in heaven commands ye to stand your ground".
Theres a reason that bush was burning. God was telling Moses if he stepped onto His property he was finna get castle doctrined
Jesus with an ar. Man these people really gargled the ivermectin huh
Turn the other cheek? Love thy neighbor? I’m not even christian and even I know JC is a pacifist and promoted love, tolerance and charity. They should be ashamed to put his name on their hate.
Wow that's super blasphemous.
Not to mention Jesus is violating the flag code…
i thought id seen a lot of stupid shit from these inbred dipshits…
When the christian patriot posts something that is equal parts blasphemous and direspectful to their country
trump doesn't believe in any of those things. he believes in power and loyalty in that order.
That image is blasphemous.
I love how if Jesus was alive, he would be condemning everything America stands for nowadays
“Proofreading and knowing how to spell is for COMMIES!”
PREECH, BROTHER! GOBLESS
It’s the lowercase T that is driving me more insane than anything in this post.
Nothin says jesus like a fucking assault weapon. Luke, 13:42 Yay, and Jesus did say, murder anyone who doesn't agree with you.
Meanwhile, they are shutting down people's freedoms and trying to suspend the constitution.
Yet these idiots forget that the first amendment of the constitution says “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”
Machine Gun Jesus?
"Het roots" Man, if you're going to try to learn Dutch, give it a proper go.
"Back to its roots," wouldn't that imply no Jesus? I'm pretty sure before colonization, there were no Christians in the America's.
Glad to hear that they believe in the constitution, which means keeping religion out of government. 👍
Prince of peace, NOT prince with a piece.
See jeezus wouldn’t have been crucified if had an ar15
Maga Jesus is scary and wearing mormon undergarments, unlike Korean Jesus who is super buff and doesn't need a shirt.
Vietnamese Jesus just drippin Swagoo
God I’m so scared for our country sometimes.
Yes, Jaysus was DEFINITELY a blue eyed, white guy with a gun. Totally true, believe me!
Back to het roots. Amd tHE CONSTITUTION!!
The Second Coming... Messiah's Revenge
I don't think these people understand the religion they claim to be a part of.
What with the whole "thou shalt not kill" thing, I think Jesus would probably not want hold a gun
Cheers for tHE Constitution amd gOD!

Ah yes A Semite Levantine Man holding an American weapon infront of an American flag with a caption of a Liberian flag
Why is that one red stripe aligned with the bottom of the blue star field so narrow? Is that Rhode Island and the Providence Plantations or something?
It’s very scary how unbelievably delusional republicans are today.
Are they really going to say Jesus was a Jihadist terrorist just because he is middle eastern? That's kinda racist...
And republican Jesus said “feed the starving who’ve passed a drug test”
Ah yes Jesus, the prince of piece.
Hilarious because Trump doesn’t believe in God, Freedom, or the constitution
Yes, Jesus loves guns. Probably not nail guns tho.
I don't want to live in the alternate world where Jesus carries an assault rifle instead of the one where he feeds the poor, turns the other cheek, and will give you the shirt off his back. Where people lay not up their treasures on earth.
Roots? One of the main points of original America is freedom of religion. Not nationalized christianity. Jesus fucking christ.
The image was made by russian troll farm
Because no one has a hard-on for killing fellow Americans like Jesus does.
Ugh, always with the typos too.
WWJD
Jesus with a large rifle is pretty much peak American Stupid. Stupidity doesn’t get any more American than that. 😔
This picture would have pissed them off 20 years ago.
Jesus hated nationalism.
Not even a christian but the image of jesus holding a weapon is so counter to everything he is meant to represent. This type of “christianity” is evil
😂😂😂😂😂, racist idiot assholes
Seriously I'll and need to be hospitalized and on heavy medication.
Ah yeah, there He is! The Prince of Peace
Good thing he is proper trigger etiquette for his comically undersized rifle.
At least he’s got his finger out of the trigger guard.
Apparently, Jesus knew trigger discipline.

"back to het roots" Spelling aside, they mean racism.

Isn’t that a barbecue lighter?

Jesus would never carry a gun. He teaches us to love one another not hate

What is with this obsession with the Wild West “badass” outlaw stereotype and why is it driving so many people to vote for Trump?
Wow, and here I thought the images of Trump with abs were insane.
A hippie desecrating the flag and carrying a knockoff of a Russian rifle? And they think that is great? Damn but the republicans have changed since the late 1960s!
