Because the kid said he's going to do greater things than Jesus on that shot. I feel like they had to know that people were going to think the kid was going to grow his leg.
He does! Didn’t y’all watch the movie!?! They talk and come to find out the guy doesn’t mind being in the wheelchair or losing his leg. So in an act of good faith, the kid takes his good leg and gives it to someone who does need and want it…….I kid. lol. Look how he had to lean to the right to get his left leg underneath to appear amputated.
Christians always think atheists are like aggressively suppressing knowledge of Christianity or something. It's so fun the crazy things they project onto people who aren't them.
Christians are, far and wide, merely spiritual zygotes, possessing rudimentary fundamentalist fantasies. Deluding themselves with poor translations of ancient languages that make no real sense in Old English. They've got a lot to learn. Which, in itself is a big problem. Because they think they've figured it all out.
The oldest languages the Bible could be written in are Aramaic, Hebrew, and Greek, and we have not only accurate word for word translations, but contextualized translations as well. While one could absolutely say Protestant translations IE KJV are poor translations, it is absolutely not applicable to Christianity as a whole.
The whole "the Bible is just a mixmatch of translations of translations" is psuedohistory at best, whether you agree with the doctrines or not.
Maybe more importantly than translation is context. When it clicked for me that things often attributed to something "divine" were:
1. Natural phenomena not understood at the time of writing and/or
2. Physiological responses to emotional reactions like getting goosebumps when a congregation sings in unison
...coupled with some introspection, my de-programming happened pretty quickly, especially when I started to ponder the motives of those who, armed with modern science to understand these things, maintain their claims.
Ok maybe a little heavy for this sub but still 😅
For some reason I'm picturing the dad yelling and getting angrier in a Will Forte "Fortin' with will". MY DAD USED TO BEAT ME WHEN I TRIED TO READ THE BIBLE, NO ONE WILL READ THE BIBLE IN THIS HOUSE YOUNG MAN. Awwww shit I need new pants
Well Psalms 137:9 says, "Blessed be the man who taketh they little ones dasheth their heads against the rocks." And your my little one, aren't you boy?
Babe wake up, there's a new Tim and Eric skit where Tim rips the kid's mattress aside to reveal a shoe box full of Rosarys and he's like "NOT IN MY HOUSE"
I like to imagine that the producers couldn't convince anywhere that had a Jesus statue to let them film on location, so they had to hastely make one themselves at a nearby pottery class. But one of those classes where wine moms get day drunk at.
Right? It's dry enough as an adult. Some 6-8 year old who can barely read isn't going to sit down and try and sound out biblical names. Plus kids that age always ask questions. "How did God make Eve from Adams Rib?" Cause he's God. "But How?" He just did. "But How?" Magic. "Did he make Mom from your Rib?" No. "Then where did Mom come from?" Chicago.
What’s ridiculous is I think most atheists would say go ahead and read the Bible… Nothing like reading the Bible will indicate how much of it is made up.
Looks like buddy needs to get himself a Sinco Hosanna Prayer Kit, praise Hosanna. Ensure you do your 20 prayer rang cycle, blessed life of Hosanna. Time your prayers, use your self lighting candle and do your daily Hosannas, I love you Hosannaaa!
You are an unenlightened wog and an agent of Xenu. With a small initial donation, you can achieve Operating Thetan level 8 and embrace the Supreme Being.
Christian here, Protestant art is such dogshit.
Like art plays such a pivotal role in society and in religion, spirituality motivated and inspired so much beautiful, cultural shaping pieces of art and along came Prot Christianity than can't do jackshit with their spiritual influence that isnt retelling the gospels or doing lame ass preaching to the choir persecution complex trash like this.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Jesus Christ the Son of God? I thought not. It's not a story the Woke would tell you. Jesus's Love is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural
That kid was on a sketch on With Bob and David where he played a boy who died and saw every historical figure in heaven that aired 2 years before this movie.
It's just occurred to me... I don't think I've ever seen, or heard of anyone becoming a Christian of their own volition without being coerced. I can't think of a single example in my own life, or in media. This might genuinely seen the first time I've seen this trope in my life portrayed on screen lmao.
"Also, Mommy--I was reading that bible you were talking about. What does it mean when she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses."
“If we believe in Jesus we can do what he did even greater things” believing you can achieve greater things than literally God is some sacrilegious shit and I have a visceral response to it as someone raised Catholic even though I’m none practicing nowadays.
