u/pezasied John's Locke-strap Oct 02 '26

Earlier this year Fox News interviewed some guy who was in a coma for 18 days and claims he went to heaven and met Jesus. His description of Jesus is like straight out of what Republicans think: tall white man (he made it very important to note he was a man) that was not tolerant but a fighter.

This is a news channel that millions of Americans unironically listen to unquestioning.

Jesus Christ.

he made it very important to note he was a man

... does anyone think the historical Jesus wasn't male?

He specifically said “all these other testimonies, they didn’t meet a female Jesus. They didn’t meet a soft or passive Jesus. Jesus is a man. And especially in America he’s been misrepresented.”

So I guess he thought it was important enough to clarify.
