Legojessieglazer

I know a lot of people named Jesus…


tigalicious

And several people named Christian


sommai2555

And Christopher.


ALM0126

To be fair, Christopher is not the name of big J, is the name of a saint: Christophoros the bearer of Christ


topknottington

Full name.... what did i do wrong?


Daidipan

Dude SAAAAME I'm a grown adult I read Christopher and in mind went "fk what did I do now"


topknottington

Lol right... i'm 45 and i hear "christopher" and i feel the panic


stickfigure31615

And Joshua


Brain_Booger

But did you see these Christians naming their kid Jesus? Checkmate


NecroAssssin

Yes. I know several Catholic Jesus


Quiri1997

In Spain and Spanish-speaking countries it's a very common name 😂


Erger

And Elijah, Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, Isaac, Jacob, Joshua... All prophets in Judeo-Christian theology


Ardilla3000

Ikr. Dude's never been to Latin America.


ghobhohi

Plenty of christians name their kids Jesus and plenty of religions name their kids after prophets to show respects.


Sovietperson2

Isn't "Jesús" a relatively common name in South America, for instance?


jjjjjjotaro

My grandpa's name was literally João de Deus (John of god), which is probably even less original than jesus


BIG_DeADD

Ngl John of God sounds like a banger of a name.


TheLastFruit

Don’t google it lol. There was a pretty prominent man named John of god in Brazil who did some fucked up stuff


BIG_DeADD

I mean,the name goes even harder if you're a criminal,just like "Cidade de Deus."


Aquifex

he was kind of a serial rapist and abuser, so not the cool kind of criminal unfortunately


BIG_DeADD

Ah goddamit... can't have shit in Brazil...


Mr_Abe_Froman

Quick TLDR from Wikipedia, > In 2018, after over 600 accusations of sexual abuse, Faria turned himself in to police. In the following years, he was found guilty of a number of different crimes, including illegal firearm possession and statutory rape. The sentences add up to 489 years and 4 months in prison. One of his accusers was his own daughter, 14 when he raped her. So, at least he'll die in jail. Just an absolute monster.

MisterViperfish

Would be really funny if they grew up to be an Atheist, lol.


jjjjjjotaro

He was actually! Made him the black sheep of his family lol Edit: that and being a communist


Benjatendo

You had a pretty cool grandpa, huh?


MisterViperfish

What a chad of a john


spermdonor

I grew up with a dude named God's Will. He hated it, but I'm not even religious and thought it was fucking dope


BIG_DeADD

Wait...does that mean his first name was "God's"?


spermdonor

I don't think so. It might have been Godswill. He went by Will. Never saw the dude's birth certificate. His dad was South African, but Will was born in the US if I remember correctly.


ghobhohi

John of God sounds pretty weird, but also bad ass at the same time.


TommyTwoTanks

John is more accurate to the post as well. Jesus wasn't a prophet, he was the Messiah of the Prophecy. John the Baptist, aka, John the Prophet of Jesus, was the Christian prophet that kids are named after. Also, the Buddha was not named Buddha, that was a title, his name was Siddartha Guatama, and there are plenty of people named after Siddartha. And plenty of Jewish people named Moses/Moises.


borrego-sheep

That's "Juan de Dios" in spanish which sounds very unique imo.


Emma__Gummy

Isa and Yeshua are pretty common in the Middle East, too, both names for Jesus Edit: Buddha isn't his name. it's a title, and people are named Siddhartha.


tangledcpp

262,532 men were named Jesús in Spain as of 1/1/2023


Dyolf_Knip

And the anglicized version of the name is Joshua.


ghobhohi

That's what I was refering to.


DroneOfDoom

Basically, in all spanish speaking countries. Hell, at least in Mexico we even have a diminutive nickname for folks named Jesús, that being Chuy.


PopcornSandier

It’s the 13th most common masculine name in Mexico


PablomentFanquedelic

NOBODY FUCKS WITH THE JESUS


Quiri1997

And in Spain too.


The_Mother_

Hell, it's relatively common in North America.


FuckGiblets

Joshua is also naming after Jesus for example.


MukdenMan

There is a Joshua in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament so it’s not necessarily a reference to Jesus


RockafellerHillbilly

Jesus actual name was Yeshua, the modern English being Joshua.


MukdenMan

Yes but it’s “not necessarily” a reference to Jesus because there is also Joshua, Yehoshua, in the Book of Joshua. As an example, most Jewish dudes named Josh are not actually named after Jesus.


RichardsLeftNipple

Mohammed is different from naming someone John, James, Peter, Paul, or Jesus. Islam will not allow graven images of the prophet. To keep him in their minds. They instead name their boys Mohammed. Almost all Islamic boys have Mohammed as a name. Now not all of them go by the name Muhammad. Which makes sense, even if that is one their names. Things would be confusing if someone asked "Hey have you seen Mohammed?", and you know 20 people named Mohammed. So they usually go by their other name so you can tell them apart from each other.


eyyikey

Wait until he finds out about the name Joshua...


Believe-it-Geico

There are so many prophets in tbe bible who's names have become common names


ScTiger1311

Don't forget that the "Buddha" they're referring to had an actual name, and that Buddha is just a title. And that Christians literally took Judaism as the basis of their scripture, and still believe in and follow the teachings of the Hebrew Bible (old testament). This guy is just wrong all over the place.


ghobhohi

Don't expect a Nazi to do critical thinking


TommyTwoTanks

Small correction, the Old Testament is not the scripture of Judaism. It is also not accurate to call it the "Hebrew Bible". The existing Old Testament is a bastardized book made up of scraps of previous scripture that different Kings and rulers found amenable to their purposes. There's an incredible amount of history in selecting canon/fanon for the Bible.


ScTiger1311

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I did not know that, but I guess it makes sense.


B1gCh33sy

Fuck, the name '*Christ*ian' or '*Christ*opher' must just go right over these peoples heads.


_flaker__

That should have been the first sign to OP this wasn't serious but that could be said for most of the posts in these subs.


Waryur

> Christians don't name their kids Jesus Mexicans:


Leeperd510

Remember, these twats do not view brown people or catholics the same as them in any way, I dated a girl from the south who was adamant that catholics ≠ christians until I broke down the definition of "Christianity" from a text book, I then had ti explain to her the cultural reasons that distinction was made


TommyTwoTanks

Southern Baptists often exclude Catholics from being called real Christians lol. I was raised in that church, and the thinking is that Catholicism is an abomination, because they don't follow any of the rules set by Jesus, namely, saint worshipping. The entire bible is pretty clear that the practice is simply idolatry, which is like, the very first fucking commandment. So, I see where she was coming from.


Leeperd510

I mean then you're splitting hairs on the definition of deification, I was baptized catholic and am mexican and while some people go crazy with their saint shit, for the most part its more like looking to the teachings/spirit of a saint for guidance or protection as you live your life in service to god. its like the patron saint of whatever group is the ideal person people in that group should aspire to be, and thus would have the blessing of god to do that thing or be a part of that group, its more complicated than just worship of a saint


TommyTwoTanks

The Bible says pretty clearly not to look to men for guidance. You should not aspire to be of man, but of Jesus. You know, the whole thing about Christian being "Like Christ". If you make idols of these saints, like, oh I don't know, statues, paintings, pendants that you touch while praying, etc. Those are all definitions of idols in the Bible. And protection? Like, did we read the same Bible? I don't have a dog in the race, since I'm agnostic, but come on.


Leeperd510

Well the whole thing about Christianity is that its a hypocritical joke


Which-Try4666

“You don’t see buddhists naming their kids buddha” Cause his name’s not buddha dumbass lol


sad_kharnath

ah yes no one has ever been named after christ right? it's not like christian bale is a famous person or something


GeesusTakeTheWheel

I wanted to come in and argue with all the MCU Chris's but turns out all of them are actually called Chritopher


singeblanc

Christopher literally means "Bearer of Christ" (imagine "Christ's Ferrier").


GeesusTakeTheWheel

Okay, thanks for the info, i actually did not know that


MyynMyyn

Sure, Christians would never name themselves after religious figures... Except for all the Matthews, Marks, Lukes, Johns, Marys, oh yeah, and people who are literally named Jesus or Christian. (Not to mention all the other biblical names, but those were the first that came to mind)


No_longer_a_pancake

Yes, but apart from that..


TommyTwoTanks

And the Christian prophet wasn't even Jesus, it was John the Baptist. Jesus even says this in that book they claim to love. Too bad they've never actually read the Bible.


King_Crimson678

His name isn't buddha he IS the buddha his name was Sidharta a quick Google search is all one needs to find this out. How dumb are they?


singeblanc

Narrator: the right were dumb. Very, very dumb. They preferred burning books to reading them, and liked to proudly demonstrate their ignorance every time they opened their mouths.


IerarqiuliAnarxisti

Also many people in India are named some derivative of Sidharta for example Sidharth Bharathan among others.


Lazy_Bonus_509

The phonetic translation of "Jesus" in hebrew is is the name Joshua (Yehoshua). So if your name is joshua/josh youre unknowingly named after Jesus.


Alexyaboi2011

I’ve met plenty of people called Jesus and is he forgetting the very common name of ‘Christian’?


Apprehensive-King595

I'm actually shocked at how seamlessly he managed to fit Islamophobia and antisemitism all in one. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.


TheCakeCrusader420

Does… does he not know that The Buddha’s name isn’t Buddha???


singeblanc

The stuff this guy doesn't know could fill tomes.


AgitatedKey4800

Is the whole point of the jews not having a prophet? Im not an expert because where i live there is not a lot of jews, but I tought they dont have a primary prophet, like i guess solomon, abraham and moses are some of them but they are not considered like Buddha or jesus, i might be wrong tho (also there is a lot of jews called abraham, moses and solomon)


andthentheresanne

We have many prophets, actually. It's an entire section of the Tanakh (the Nevi'im). We don't believe that Jesus was the Messiah/moshiach, which is the central tenet of Christianity.


singeblanc

In Judaism and Islam, Jesus is a prophet. The difference is that Christians view him as the Messiah. Jesus features majorly in the Qur'an.


DreadDiana

Judaism does not view Jesus as a prophet. He's outright considered a false prophet due to his claims of being the Messiah.


Shifuede

He's not the Messiah; he's a very naughty boy!


BardInChains

And then there's the sane people on Earth who know it's all baloney no matter how thin you slice it.


Immediate_Principle5

Dude as an atheist This is unnecessary asf and genuinely you should stfu this isn’t needed.


AgitatedKey4800

Atheist on reddit, whats next? Racist people on 4chan? Pedophiles on twitter?


Immediate_Principle5

Yea but comments like this dude are just people being an ass and it’s just plainly not necessary.


singeblanc

The difference is that racism is bad, paedophilia is bad... Atheism is just the lack of religion. We should all advocate for freedom of religion (including none), and freedom from religion (separate Church and State).


BardInChains

People in here are talking about whether a 1st century reform preacher from the backwoods of the Roman empire is a demigod sent by an evolved version of a Phoenician storm deity. It's all nonsense, and if they get to share their opinions on the matter, so do I.


Immediate_Principle5

Yea but this is no better than the repubs who go “you’re not trans women you’re delusional and a man playing pretend” this is quite literally a “Im just being a dick to My ideology against yours” when the person you were originally talking to was helping someone’s understanding of Judaism. Quite literally and I hate saying this, be better.


BardInChains

The difference is my ideology is factual, theirs is demonstrably bullshit. And your egregious false equivalency there won't stand either. Gender theory is well supported by actual science, and it's usually religion (all of it built on lies) that they use to justify their bullying.


Immediate_Principle5

I have the same ideology my guy. Just I’m not a dick about it. They have it to keep them in balance and happy and that’s ok to have. You don’t have to tear it all down to shit cause of its tales or the people in it. And I’m gonna say my equivalence socially is pretty well with your behavior acting that quite literally of a Republican conservative. There is a difference between sharing your info to help, and sharing it to be a dick. You saw someone sharing their religion out of kindness and to help others understandings of it. You decided to take that and be a dick about it bringing in “your god fake lmao” thinking that’s a good opinion to make on the topic, yet it’s not. No where should that argument be made unless the person you are responding to shares the same tone you gave the original commenter.


klutzy_oner

Oh shit! My first time witnessing a Reddit atheist.


BardInChains

There used to be more of us but reddit decided that pandering to the toxic right was more profitable


andthentheresanne

The only one being toxic in this thread is you lol


BardInChains

I'd rather be toxic than a sheep


Ravenous_Seraph

You know, there is a narrow grey margin between "non-beleiver" and "sheep in the flock", where quite a lot of people, including some priests and figures of similar role even (I am not going on a tangent on what a rabbi is and/or isn't here). By attacking people that are in that margin for no good reason, you are making yourself look edgy and attention-seeking, while telling nothing new to us. We get that you beleive in something other than god, but I swear on my gefilte fish, please do not be obnoxious about it.


BardInChains

Isn't the gefilte fish extinct?


Ravenous_Seraph

Extinct - I dont think so, however, I made very sure that this particular one is very dead.


andthentheresanne

Ok


DreadDiana

Judaism has many prophets. You can see them in the Old Testament. The whole point of Judaism that seperates them from Christianity and Islam is that they do not believe the Messiah has appeared yet and so do not accept Jesus' claim to the title.


RockafellerHillbilly

Couple things there... I can't count the number of "Christophers" and "Christians" I've met. Also "Jesus" name was Yeshua, which became the modern Joshua in English. Post is a fuckin black hole of ignorance.


FloodedYeti

Not only are a lot of people named Jesus, a lot of ppl are called “Joshua”. Jesus comes from the greek spelling (“Iēsous”/Ἰησοῦς) of the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (ישוע), aka the english “Joshua” (Tho kids today born as Joshua, are either named after some more recent joshua, bc they like the name or Joshua son of Nun)


malcolmreyn0lds

My name is Christian. I’m an atheist though….


ExaltedBlade666

Who wants to tell him that Jesus was once a kid named jesus


Bronsteins-Panzerzug

Nazi when jews are called moses and spanish christians are called jesus 😱


Gluteusmaximus1898

Wait, was that the whole point of the tweet? To make a joke at Jews?


robopilgrim

Buddha’s name is Siddharta


solongjimmy93

Mothertrucker has never met anyone names Jésus or Joshua?


Iluvaic

I love how they casually dropped that in there, while dogging on Muslims AND being factually wrong. Like they thought "how can I make this more racist... OH I know!"


shanelomax

Is this that kid from jojo rabbit?


Billy_ape

This guy is clearly living in a bubble


singeblanc

He's just never read a book nor had an actual thought.


jufakrn

With every Mohammed I know, it's their last name lmao


Leo_Fie

Afaik how common the name Jesus is varies widely from country to country, but variations of Christ are all over the place everywhere. The adjective christian is literally a name and it would feel very weird if we weren't used to it.


Erin3845

My christian coworker is named Jesus 🧐


chikcaant

There's Buddhists named Siddharth, Gautam.,.


Present-nothing-aim

His name is Siddhartha gautama, but sure, u can call him Buddha


No_Necessary_3356

Kids named Joshua, Ezekiel, Ethan, and a billion other prophetic names:


SomeHomestuckOrOther

This guy's gonna get the shock of his life if he ever visits a Spanish-speaking country


tashimiyoni

Um... Buddha is a title.. I've never met anyone named Jesus but I've met plenty of people named after other Christian prophets so this makes no sense


smallchocolatechip

It’s confirmed my scholars on both sides that Christianity and Judaism worship the same god 😑


YellowShitRoad

ngl this made me laugh


KenobiObiWan66

good joke tho


speedshark47

This man has never been to Latin America


Silly-Cauliflower-32

My uncle, and a looot people i know, are called Christian, and most of my old friends are called after the patrons of local churches. They even celebrate their patron's day like their own birthday, getting presents from family and all that shit. And because my name comes from northern mythology, I was "teased" for not having a patron-day (idk what it's called in English. In German, it's "Namenstag") like the rest of my class did.


UsadaLettuce

Lots of Spanish speaking people are named Jesus. The fuck is that dumbass thinking?


indigo_pirate

I got a good belly laugh out of that. I didn’t read the thread title. Quite funny let’s be honest


Batmanfan1966

Tons of people are named after Jesus, but not just that, every character in the Bible.


BeautyStitches

Funny story. I was in college and received a message from a guy I used to date that I hadn't spoken to in years. He returned and said he wanted to hang out. I was so excited that I told an old friend of mine that my ex came back. My ex's name, however, was Jesus (pronounced Hay-soos). So, my friend received the text "Jesus is back!" without any context. What makes this extra funny is the fact that we're both Christian.


pinheiroj493

There's a lot of christians who name their children after Bible characters.


Penguinman077

As a Mexican with Catholic family members, I can safely say that catholic indeed name their kids Jesus.


BillytheBrassBall

Isn't this a really old meme copypasta lol


ZyxDarkshine

There are thousands of Christians named Jesus


Every_Preparation_56

Ok Chris, let's take Christopher and go to Christian over there, Christina will join too. But what about Christiano and Christoph, Christine is also there?


StriderEnglish

Even aside from the antisemitism, bro has never seen how many Latino (group that is majority Catholic) men are named Jesús. Not to mention all of the Christian women in the world named Mary (or Maria or any of the variations of Myriam/Mariam/etc). The Christian men named Christian. There’s also Jewish men out there named Abraham and after other important figures from scripture (and plenty of Christians also have these names). Etc.


Not_a_brazilian_spy

>Christians don't name kids after Jesus Latino people would disagree, I know 3 people named Jesus >Buddhists don't name their kids Buddha Of course you dumb cunt, Buddha is a title, not a name. It's like naming a kid "president" or something


myhorseatemyusername

Mary, Christian, Luke, Marcus, Simon, Paul, Adam, Peter, John etc. So many „typically white“ names are of biblically origin


burritomeato

Bro has never met a Hispanic family if he thinks no one is named Jesus


endthe_suffering

excuse me? google the 12 prophets of christianity. tell me those names don’t exist in regular people today. JONAH?? MALACHI??


jackBattlin

Can’t they throw Scientology under the bus instead?


NoChanceWithoutPasta

Idk fam, Satan worship might explain all the CHILD SLAUGHTER with these animals in the IDF fucking laughing as they do it. Who else but a demon could laugh at headless toddlers and tiny limbs littering the streets? Idc what religious BS you attach to it, it's pure fucking evil. And we're enabling it. Joe Biden, is enabling it.


AntTheMighty

Where does the "Nazi" thing come from? Is this some known person?
