When I was in high school I still had energy so I had many conversations with various varieties of theists. I remember a conversation that meandered to different topics, one of which involved the Westboro Baptist Church, and I actually made some sort of joke about figs.

The friend of mine had no idea what I was talking about.

I remember saying something like, "no it's like... canonically god hates figs." Because it's a funny joke and also true according to the Bible.

It would make a good story if my friend got all pissy about it but they didn't. It was more of an unsatisfying, "well I don't remember that part" because life isn't a movie.

But that story is so stupid (the Jesus one). I forget, it just fell on his head right? Nope I looked it up - HE WAS PISSED BECAUSE FIGS WEREN'T IN SEASON AND MAGIC CURSED IT.

@weariedfae @illectrility in the end, it is a funny story, for some of us.

I actually think it's one of the better parts of the Jesus character development story. He regrets using his godly power in an unjust way and it humanizes him. Compare that to the isekai Mary Sue "we left the child in the temple and he lectured the rabbi." That was just dumb OP bullshit.
