islam / is bullshit
A storytime jesus post.
Your mate starts with "so there I was" at the pub. You know this story. You were there. He has added a fight, a famous footballer and a dog. It's better his way. Every year your dad tells the story of the fish he caught "this big". Every year the fish grows. It's now longer than the boat. Your mum rolls her eyes at exactly the same moment. Monday morning, Sarah tells the crowd round the office kettle about her weekend. She has turned a trip to a furniture shop into a parable. There's a moral. Everyone nods. Your friend's voice note is eleven minutes long and begins "okay, you will NOT believe this". You believe it. It's about how she fed twelve people with one lasagne. **Why it caught on:** an old painting of Jesus under a tree, a child on his lap, telling a story to a crowd was captioned on Reddit's r/AdviceAnimals in 2012 so the parables sound like a mate recounting his weekend. The most retold stories in history, told the way we all tell ours.
