I saw another redditor refer to it as "Rhesus Jesus", which I greatly approve of.

I missed the original and haven't understood a single one of these posts. Would someone be so kind as to please fill me in on what this awkward little painting is?

Basically an amateur took it upon herself to restore an old painting of Jesus in a church. This was the end result.

What is this picture supposed to be? I mean, is there a story behind it or something that I missed?

[–]dizzyelk[S] 19 points20 points ago

Some amateur decided to restore an ancient picture of Jesus in a church, and ended up with this.

So by restore, she didnt make a seperate copy, she just painted over the damn thing right? aha

[–]Die-Nacht 2 points3 points ago

Well a restore means restoring the original, not copying. She was just not an art restorer and should have never done that.

But because she did, all atheists now have the work of art in the OP.

Checkmate

Reminds me of a Curb Your Enthusiasm moment:

I love how Larry David says he thought Jesus was a monkey. I don't know if it was meant to be implied, but it sounds like he's making a joke about creationism/ evolution. How so many people refuse to accept that we share a common ancestor with monkeys and instead choose to believe in a literal reading of Genesis. I could be reading into this way too far. I also love that Larry already has his hands up as he comes down the stairs.

[–]mleavi 0 points1 point ago

Not a checkmate at all. I'm a Christian and believe in evolution. Next. ;)

[–]putitright 1 point2 points ago

I would love to known how she envisioned her creation turning out in her mind .. Maybe she thought it wouldn't look so bad from afar. Much like religion, it looks looks worse and worse upon closer inspection.

Yeah, because "If evolution isn't real, why does Jesus look like a proto-human" is a wonderful ridicule of an argument that is ridiculous and wrong (i.e. "If people evolved from monkeys, why are there monkeys?"). Basically if you're going to ridicule an argument that is wrong, you use the words used by those making said wrong argument.

[–]very_old_guy 1 point2 points ago

It's incorrect to say we didn't evolve from apes. We are, in fact, apes. You are an ape. Your parents are apes. Our hominid ancestors were apes.

Here, read this.
