    Why share this without the original context?

    It was something like

    “You learn how to time travel and go to see Jesus speaking in ancient Aramaic and he turns to you and in perfect English says ‘Go home. Now.’”

      I’d love a variation where a time traveller goes back to see Jesus and can’t find them. So they start asking around… “Jesus of Nazareth? No? Sermon on the mount? ‘Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God’? Ring any bells? Come on! Raised Lazarus from the dead? Loaves and fishes?”

      And in so doing, generates the Jesus myth…

        There is a philip k dick short story called ‘the skull’ about a time traveler sent back in time to kill Jesus that was very interesting.

      I guess we’re supposed to recognize the circuitry on that one person in the robe and just assume they’re a time traveler.

      So…

      Jesus was a Vorlon?

          Vorlons primed all the young races to recognize them as deities. When Kosh saved Sheridan from going splat, they all saw a different deity from the own culture. (Though londo said he didn’t see anything, he might have been lying.)

          also genetically manipulated some races to produce telepaths; Vorlons are basically cantankerous assholes.

      Because lots of white Christians find it easier to hang onto cultural racism than to fully process the implications of worshipping a Jew from the Middle East who would not have looked much like themselves.

        What does cultural racism have to do with blue eyes? Are you saying that people from middle east could not have had blue eyes ?

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author’s website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author’s comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
