With the hairline of a 48-year old.

Just because he's God doesn't mean he can do anything about male pattern baldness. He's not that omnipotent.

Male-pattern baldness existed prior to the creation or the Heavens and the Earth.

For whatever reason in like medieval paintings or whatever, they used to draw baby Jesus as like an old man

Mexico has such cool religious art that this is just offensively ugly. Even if you don't like religion the art is pretty cool. This is ugly on the Touchdown Jesus level of ugly.

Oh boy do I have news. God agreed with you and in 2010 "Touchdown Jesus" was struck by lightning and burned down. They replaced it with a more traditional version. Personally I liked the orgional more.

Offsides/Five Dollar Footlong Jesus just isn't the same.

You know, Jesus did grow up. You don't always have to call him baby. It's a bit odd and off putting to pray to a baby.

Adult Jesus and Baby Jesus are distinct Biblical Entities in the Biblical Monster's Manual.

I think this went over everyone's heads. It's from Talladega Nights lol

Its odd and off putting to pray to anything. Most people grow up and stop wishing on stars because it's silly. But some of them keep asking an invisible man for nice things to happen their entire adult life.

I like to picture Jesus in a Tuxedo T-shirt, 'cause it says, 'I wanna be formal, but I'm here to party, too.'

Did Hideo Kojima make this?

Maybe it was Hajime Isayama, and the scaffolding on the left is for people who dress up as Survey Corps.

As a person utterly devoid of religion, I still used to enjoy visiting the temples of the various faiths, to see what they'd come up with. I think that period might be at an end.

Who would ever contest this claim ?!

Do they also claim to have the self awareness to understand that thing is fucking creepy

'Dear Lord Baby Jesus, or as our brothers in the South call you: 'Hey-suz'. We thank you so much for this bountiful harvest of Dominos, KFC, and the always delicious Taco Bell. I just want to take time to say thank you for my family: my two beautiful, beautiful, handsome striking sons, Walker and Texas Ranger, or TR as we call him. And, of course, my red hot smokin' wife Carley, who is a stone cold fox, who if you would rate her ass on 100, it would easily be a 94. I also want to thank you for my best friend and teammate, Cal Naughton Jr, who's got my back no matter what...Dear Lord Baby Jesus, we also thank you for my wife's father Chip. We hope that you can use your Baby Jesus powers to heal him and his horrible leg. It smells terrible and the dogs are always botherin' with it. Dear Tiny Infant Jesus...'

"This is not a record to be proud of"

I dunno, you must have accomplished some pretty impressive things to be so dismissive of this.

He was a grown man! He had a beard!

I know! But I like the baby Jesus the best!

Yes, we know. Her name was Mary Magdalene.

The living with the 12 other dudes totally gave it away though.

You're thinking of April Jesus. This is December Jesus.

Giant baby Jesus doesn't exist, giant baby Jesus can't hurt you

Reminds me of that one sketch:

"Can we lower it to two hail Mary's?"

"How dare you cheapen the word of God!"

"Fine then, I'll just take my business to the church across the street."

"Go then!"

[walks away]

"The exit is that way!"

"I'm visiting the gift shop, first."

That's a surprisingly small "tallest" statue, tbh

Like, I saw the second biggest Buddha statue just in Japan and it was taller than that.

And Buddha is just a fat guy smiling at you like he knows he sold people on his bullshit for thousands of years and is living it, not nearly as deserving of a tall statue as creepy baby jesus

Well, since religion overall is a clown show, wtf not?
