Christians are fucking weird man

Monotheists. But they have more than one god.

People perform miracles?!

Jesus is like “everyone be cool to each other”

Christians are like “nah”

Jesus was Jewish. But they worship him?!

Literally in their old testament it says “there won’t be anymore”

Then they’re like “here’s a new testament”

Fucking bonkers as far as death cults go. And death cult are bonkers by definition.

Christians are weird and their shit makes even less em sense than the religions that came before it.

Don’t get me started on Mormons.
