This is a Mormon picture, making it 10x funnier to me.

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points ago

do Mormons put captions on all of their pictures?

[–]Not_Dennis 9 points10 points ago

Yes, but the Mormon caption would have used "frick"

[–]dudetude 6 points7 points ago

I like to make up my own versions of these when I go to church with my girlfriend. I wish I could find a listing of all the paintings the church uses somewhere.

[–]kaypricot 2 points3 points ago

[–]dudetude 4 points5 points ago

Thanks for the link, but these are just paintings that are affiliated with the LDS religion, not the paintings they hang in their churches. As a side note, that page has one of the largest collections of white Jesus I have ever seen.

[–]kaypricot 0 points1 point ago

What do you mean the paintings they hang in their church? There really are not that many paintings hung around, I am ex-mormon so if you clarify I could pretty much show you whatever. There is certainly a catalogue of images they will let you check out from the church library of paintings and images that are often used in lessons. Gotta be a list somewhere. The best is "New Era" posters https://www.google.com/search?q=New+Era+posters&hl=en&rlz=1C1CHKZ_enUS437US437&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=8GC8T6L0NaKTiALPuJSeDg&ved=0CJ0BELAE&biw=1290&bih=742 I would love to see a spoof of those gain traction as a meme.

[–]DrewBot7 1 point2 points ago

There are lots of pictures that LDS churches keep in their libraries for use in sunday school and the like. Most of them look like the one in this main post. Here they are: http://www.lds.org/hf/art/0,16812,4218-1,00.html

That's pretty much the only paintings I can remember seeing permanently hung in the church buildings themselves. Seeing them definitely triggers lots of boring, weird, sometimes cultish memories for me.

[–]jenntotheferr 1 point2 points ago

Are you an ex-Mormon also? I could pick these pictures out from miles away.

[–]enhancin 1 point2 points ago

Most people in Utah can pick these out pretty easily.

[–]You8MyDoritos 18 points19 points ago

Fake, Jesus should be standing on the water.

[–]Zerba 18 points19 points ago

He toggled clipping for this. He has all of the cheat codes.

[–]hedgepine 6 points7 points ago

These have been around forever, I remember them making me laugh when I first found them:

[–]AcousticPoontang 2 points3 points ago

Been looking for this. Thank you!

[–]DrumCorpsAlum 4 points5 points ago

Alternate text:

Just flex and your boner will go away.

It isn't working Jesus, I'm still torqued.

[–]Jessedaye 1 point2 points ago

Why is it called an Indian burn?

[–]AcousticPoontang 0 points1 point ago

I believe it's because your skin turns red from the rush of blood, which in turn, gives you "redskin", derogatory for Indian.

EDIT: Even though 'Indian' is derogatory too.

[–]Jessedaye 0 points1 point ago

Thanks. Im native and my skin is brown not red

Welcome to Reddit then...

[–]AddictiveSoup 6 points7 points ago

Been here 316 days in a row, must've slipped by me.

[–]brainville 0 points1 point ago

Over 2 yrs for me. Thanks for reposting & cracking me up!

[–]breakyunit 1 point2 points ago

First time my sister sent me something from thechive that I later saw on reddit. Welp, time for a cold shower.

[–]reddit0rial 1 point2 points ago

A repost after a year is fine, but its been like 3 days OP.

[–]chartman 1 point2 points ago

You mean the internet is already on the internet?! Those fuckers.

[–]CombustionJellyfish 0 points1 point ago

It's the unoriginal sin.

[–]bigairbrodeo 2 points3 points ago

i think he meant slap the christ out of you

[–]SickeningMirror 4 points5 points ago

I laughed. I'm so going to hell....

[–]KnightAmok 1 point2 points ago

Nothing to loose your head over, John.

[–]EridMeatGrinder 1 point2 points ago

Americans call those Indian burns? In England they were known as Chinese burns. Why are we blaming random Asian countries for the pain of twisty arm?

[–]DangerRanger01 1 point2 points ago

For us Americans, we don't mean indians from India, we mean Native Americans. One of the terms for them are redskins and when someone gets the burn the skin turns red. Something like that

[–]EridMeatGrinder 1 point2 points ago

Well that actually makes a lot more sense. Stupid England and our racist children.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Both are pretty equally racist.

[–]Not_really_Spartacus 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, but at least the American one made some sense

[–]anonymizzle 0 points1 point ago

This is at least the 3rd time this has been re-posted.

[–]Not_really_Spartacus 0 points1 point ago

Better response:

If you give me one more Indian Burn Jesus

I'm going to slap you so hard you'll wake up three days later

[–]tyrroi 0 points1 point ago

Isn't it called Chinese burn?

[–]sup299 0 points1 point ago

I know it's a blatant repost, but my brain tells me it's hilarious and edgy. So I upvote anyways.

[–]lunaticlola 0 points1 point ago

re-post = sadness

[–]MestR -1 points0 points ago

Reminded me of this one.

[–]toothbucket -3 points-2 points ago

i wish it didn't have the curse word, only because i want to post it on facebook

[–]lwest340 1 point2 points ago

You're welcome

[–]tyme 10 points11 points ago

Alternatively, stop caring so much about other people's opinions and just be yourself.

[–]raging_asshole 8 points9 points ago

Maybe his self is someone who prefers not to spread profanity. That's cool too.

[–]toothbucket 0 points1 point ago

if there was a 'show this to ' 15 people, i'd probably do it. hiding it would be from both people that i know would become offended, and many that i'm not sure about. personally, i find it hilarious.

and....thank you

[–]pile_alcaline -1 points0 points ago

Oh, so slapping Jesus is ok but you draw the line at one objectionable word?

[–]toothbucket 1 point2 points ago

i don't draw the line there, several people i know do. i honestly don't even believe in jesus, except for the ones that mow lawns around here

Repost. Re-laugh is commencing. Thanks;)

[–]johnothetree -3 points-2 points ago

TIL people call it an "indian burn".

[–]TrFessler 3 points4 points ago

I've always heard it as a snake bite.. now that I think of it, it's a silly name.

[–]johnothetree -1 points0 points ago

same, i never understood why, and thinking about it, neither of the 2 really make sense....

[–]StarCass -3 points-2 points ago

We called it "Indian Burn" because "snake Bite" was something else. Although I might be confusing it with "Chicken Bite"

[–]johnothetree 1 point2 points ago

the fuck's a chicken bite? I'M SO CONFUSED.

[–]StarCass 0 points1 point ago

You put your thumb between your finger and middle finger like you stole a two year olds' nose, then kind of grab the other person skin with your thumb and pinch it. I think…

[–]johnothetree 0 points1 point ago

huh. i just called that being a jerk.

[–]StarCass 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, that too. It's like seeing a match burn twice

[–]centurion911 0 points1 point ago

I think you might be thinking of the chicken scratch, which to me was the same as a snake bite. And wasn't the indian burn called that because it made your arm red?

[–]StarCass 1 point2 points ago

I think you are right about the reason for the name, but I don't recall a chicken scratch.

[–]Smokratez -4 points-3 points ago

10 out of 10, would bang.

[–]Ittero -1 points0 points ago

Jesus should be like Loki, but more benign.

[–]Contradictions -1 points0 points ago

indian burns are done with TWO hands

[–]AmancalledB -1 points0 points ago

I wish Jesus was standing on the water yanking the man up to his level by his forearm like that, Just to be an Asshole.

[–]wiredcurrent -2 points-1 points ago

It's good to see some good religious art being parodied outside of r/atheism. Upboats for you.

[–]Shoola -2 points-1 points ago

Did Jesus get slapped? It would explain why he was celibate his whole life.
