I’m Sure He’d Be a Good Salesperson

Thunderf00t and the religiousantagonist are collaborating again!

But didn’t the Bible say something about not turning the Father’s house into a marketplace…?

I’m surprised the bookstore was his first choice. You would think an out-of-work Jesus would try to get a job as a pastor…

"Yeah, they're so troubled that they can't get young people to join: try changing your ..."

"Even just a plain cheese one would've been nice. And hey, they were using real ..."

"His opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one. Yours isn't special. Just willfully ignorant."

I don’t get it. Jesus said not to make the temple a marketplace, so there shouldn’t be stores?

Um…I’m surprised we’re thinking about a J-O-B for Jesus. The way I remember the Bible, Jesus was an independent contractor. These days, what he did back then would translate to basically being a journeyman carpenter (in terms of a trade) or as a life coach (in terms of his philosophy for living).

So, forget the bookstore. After coming back from the dead, I doubt any of us would go back to working W-2 again. Why would we expect Jesus (or any mythological figure) to?

That was awful…. Not funny, and just uncomfortable watching. One of the worst things I have watched on YouTube.

Interesting idea, but it would have been better used on, say, a CEO or founder of a chain of Christian book stores, rather than some unsuspecting cashier (who by the way gave an excellent response to “Jesus’s” question).

Swing and miss. I like most of his other stuff though.

All the carpentry jobs have gone to China?

Seriously? ‘Cause I for sure see lots of men building houses and what not on a daily basis in suburbia.

The store isn’t a temple. Rather, he should have visited those nice gift shops that some churches have.
