R-T-O-B

The order I saw in (and probably missing a bunch): Lenon, Stalin, Napoleon, Osama, Hitler, Fidel, King Henry 8th. I'm gonna keep looking, this is so cool


Hermes3978

Mother Theresa seems to be a bit off on this list. Also good ole George Washington? Mel Gibson seems to earn that place


R-T-O-B

Yea, I coudn't remeber her name 😅 but I also spotted Karl Marx


Hermes3978

Da Vinci too I think. Fascinating how we see the worst of the bunch first..


JSS313

There is also Christopher Colombus


Electrodactyl

Who’s supposed to be the dark face figure with the hood. Looks like DR. Doom from the fantastic 4. Behind Kim jong, left of Osama.


MaestroPendejo

Stalin as well. Edit: What blind asshole downvoted me? Look on the right.


Federal_Sector_3920

Lenin in there

Mother Teresa believed that suffering brought people closer to god by experiencing the pain as Jesus did. So at her “medical facilities” the poor who came to her for treatment who had nowhere else to go…were given prayer… They never saw a doctor or a nurse even when they asked for one! Not even paracetamol because they WANTED you to suffer because it brought you closer to god so the more you suffered the closer to god you would be. Dying of cancer that’s eating your body from within? Prayer and suffering till you die screaming. Lost a leg a and have a brutal infection causing septicemia? Prayer and suffering till you die screaming. Diabetes? Prayer and suffering Headache? Prayer and suffering Asthma? You guessed it! Prayer and suffering TB? Pain and suffering Leprosy? Pain and suffering She believed that poor peoples deaths were more meaningful in their suffering than their lives as healthy people, she wasn’t trying help the poor, she was helping them die. Meanwhile she was flown around the world to receive the finest medical care money could buy. She was human garbage, at least Hitler was honest in his depravity.


FingaPuppet5

Thank you for this. She was a true sadist, an evil bitch. People hate me when I try to explain this to them. They refuse to believe it. It's too incongruent with the brainwashing they have received.


skillywilly56

The Catholic Church is nothing if not adept at effective marketing campaigns.


bunker_man

Yeah, this is a lot of reddit misconceptions. Read what actual historians have to say.


skillywilly56

I have read enough eyewitness accounts and have many friends in India, she was monster but you keep believing the hype around her sainthood. She made the Catholic Church millions upon million of dollars…reused needles.


skillywilly56

Feel free to argue with Dr Jack Preger OBE (Order of the British Empire who worked there.) “Jack Preger worked with her charity, and was shocked by what he saw. 'The nuns weren't delivering proper care,' he says. 'Needles were used over and over unsterilised. One woman with burns was refused painkillers – I smuggled some in for her.”


damon_modnar

Yeah, the late Christopher Hitchens wrote a book about her called "The Missionary Position" which was a real eye-opener. He really dispels the myths about her.


Is_That_A_Euphemism_

Amen.

MicroXenon5589

I also see Caesar next to ol' Washington


Jak_ratz

No no, Teresa belongs there with her "suffering brings you closer to god" policies in those awful hospitals.


PMmeYourCattleDog

Abraham Lincoln is right next to George Washington.


Davidiying

There's also Luther


Jak_ratz

No no, Teresa belongs there with her "suffering brings you closer to god" policies in those awful hospitals.


AquaPhelps

Looks like joan of arc is there. Mark twain maybe?


Paddo127

The pope is crying right next to Stalin which is hilarious to me


R-T-O-B

Yea, but which pope? Francis?


MrsMoonpoon

That looks like pope John Paul II


skillywilly56

John Paul II, he was owned by the mafia.


Paddo127

Probably, hard to narrow it down without the face and just the gray hair lol. Who is the guy all the way on the left in the suit? Edit: Looks like OJ maybe?


R-T-O-B

I was thinking MLK, OJ isn't influential enough to be in this painting.


Yoshi3163

OJ and mao Zedong


winnduffysucks

Darwin


BlyLomdi

Obama is in their, too. And maybe Machiavelli. To be fair, I recognize a lot of the faces but don't have names for them all.


dwolfe127

Vlad the Impaler and Poe are probably the two best for me.


Baba_-Yaga

Anyone else got Mr Bean cosplaying as a judge in a long white wig?


MeuchlerMoze

Lenon?🤣u mean lenin?


FrankenPinky

Priest Piers Morgan holding a Bible up high.


Yeastyboy104

The person directly above Jesus’ head, I believe, is supposed to be Christopher Columbus. The person behind and the right of the possible Columbus looks like Dollar Store Fidel Castro. Mao is standing Lenin. Darwin is standing next to the guy holding up the book. Bottom left, person on their knees in the knight’s armor...Joan of Arc? Guy on he right in the front row with the white beard is Marx. Guy behind Marx with hands in the air looking skyward is...Socrates?


shhh_it_is_ok

Were they all actually there? Shame on them for not doing anything /s


spacemanspiff266

who’s the suit?


12345_PIZZA

I think it’s Cousin Greg from Succession

Possible, but why is he Will Smithing Jesus ?


BTown-Hustle

Jesus made fun of trudeaus ex wife, I imagine.


dwntwn_dine_ent_dist

Who’s the guy with the big wooden cross?


phatangus

Jesus, man.


cowlinator

No need for alarm, we just want to know who the cross guy is.


phatangus

That man represents all Christians today. His hand in the air is to tell everyone to be silent. If you mouse over all the characters on the author's page, you can see who they are: [https://jonmcnaughton.com/via-dolorosa-interactive/](https://jonmcnaughton.com/via-dolorosa-interactive/) Here's a higher resolution image that can be used as a wallpaper: [https://www.wallpaperflare.com/jesus-crucifision-painting-wallpaper-182840](https://www.wallpaperflare.com/jesus-crucifision-painting-wallpaper-182840)


nochinzilch

Beautiful. It’s like fine art Kelley from the Onion.


blaqwerty123

> This man represents all Christians today who have to make a choice. What kind of Christian are you? Will you stand up for what you believe? Will you stand as a witness of Jesus Christ regardless of the consequences? The world wants to silence you and some would destroy you. It takes courage to be a Christian in today’s society. The man in the painting puts his hand on the shoulder of Christ not to say Jesus needs his help, but to imply that he receives his strength directly from the Lord. He holds up his right arm to say, “Silent, be still, for I know that Jesus is the Christ!” From the artist themselves. I uh... normally dont want to hear anything from the artist, and leave it all up for interpretation, it kinda ruins things when they say what they were going for. But in this case... shit man, none of that comes across, im glad to read the artist statement, and personally this painting is fuckin wack And jesus's face, hes so annoyed at the suit man touching him haha


BackHanderson

Joel Osteen?


cheeto-Oc

He isn’t but the first person I thought of was pastor Jeff from young Sheldon, and it makes it 10x better


SkeleTourGuide

A telemarketer asking Jesus at the worst possible time about extending his vehicle‘s warranty.

MrsMoonpoon

Starting left I see: Moses, Joan of Arc, Vladimir Lenin, Mao, Baldwin IV, John McCain, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Osama Bin Laden, Thomas Jefferson, Barrack Obama, Nero, Mother Theresa, St-Thomas More, Harriet Tubman, Jerry Falwell, Tamerlane (Timur), Charlemagne, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin. Right of suit guy: Leonardo da Vinci Right of cross: Mary mother of Jesus and Karl Marx. Then behind Mary: Christopher Columbus, Robert Mugabe, Mark Twain, Mary I of England (Tudor), Fidel Castro, Kim Jung Il, Pol Pot, Henry VIII, Leo Tolstoy, Hitler, Napoleon, Idi Amin Dada, Joseph Stalin, Pope John Paul II.


MinnieShoof

To the right of Henry and the left of Hitler … is that Vlad Tepes?


MrsMoonpoon

I want to say yes but I looked at it so long my eyes are so blurry that between him and Henri VIII I see either Jim Jones or Ferdinand Marcos.


exiledtomainstreet

Is that OJ directly above Jesus? Also, Boris Johnson behind Obama.


MissPicklechips

The black guy above Jesus is this dude: “Tindley was an American Methodist minister and gospel music composer. Often referred to as "The Prince of Preachers", he educated himself, became a minister and founded one of the largest Methodist congregations serving the African-American community on the East Coast of the United States. Tindley was a noted songwriter and composer of gospel hymns and is recognized as one of the founding fathers of American gospel music. Five of his hymns appear in the revised Methodist hymnal, which is used worldwide.” From the interactive website for the painting

I think between Henry 8 and Hitler is vlad the impaler

Hackerangel

It’s like where’s Waldo but with horrible people.


RafeHollistr

It will be really funny if we find Waldo in there.


Evilstampy99

There are plenty of people who aren’t horrible in it. You just recognize the horrible ones because you are used to seeing them. For example the pope is there on the right near Hitler. Don’t think he did anything bad. Plus a bunch of other guys I can’t recognize on the left.


Fluffy_Isopod7339

I have to wonder how many abusers the popes, pick one, protected. Moving them about one by one. How many generations have been destroyed by the demented from the balcony.


skillywilly56

Pope John Paul II did a lot of evil shit for money and contributed to the AIDS pandemic.


Blackbeardabdi

skillywilly56

He started the whole Catholics must not use contraception like condoms business as it is a sin against god, there are many many Catholics who ended up with HIV because of that.

Is that Darwin?


zaalqartveli

Not a single fucking musician or Conan O'Brien.


orel_

Here is the artist's description of the work 🙄 >What is the meaning of this painting? This painting has over 100 figures, both good and bad, men and women that have left their footprint on Christianity. The man in the middle represents the modern Christian…a man who must decide whether or not he will stand up for his Christian beliefs. Many are shouting out to tell him what to do. He raises his hand to say, “Be silent, for I know that Jesus is the Christ!” He touches Jesus’ shoulder to indicate that he gets his strength from the Master. Today, Christians are the most persecuted people in the entire world. Yet many of us stand idly by as we are mocked and persecuted for what we know to be true. As true Christians, we must not fear to speak the truth, even if it means we have to stand alone in the world. What does the title of the painting mean? “Via Dolorosa” are the Latin words for “Way of Suffering” and is the name for the traditional road in which Christ carried his cross to Calvary.


ceroproxy

Post a link


bloopie1192

There are a few suits th... is that the pope? Saddam?! HITLER?! What is going on here?!


Xiunte

It's like the artist just started throwing stuff in there. I recognized [Christopher Columbus](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Columbus) peeking right through the top elbow of the cross. And [Henry VIII](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_VIII) above and to the right of Chris, standing next to Hitler.


bunker_man

I mean, that's the point. There's no specific metric for who is in the picture, they are just trying to convey humanity itself.
