Elissa: That church over there, the one that’s kind of falling apart? It’s always bothered me.
Me: Why?
Elissa: It’s called “The Church By Jesus Christ”. And Jesus was a carpenter, so I think linking him to that kind of shoddy work is kind of insulting.
Me: What kind of a name is “The Church By Jesus Christ”? Is it supposed to be, like, next to him or something?
Elissa: I think it’s supposed to be started by him, or inspired by him.
Me: Seems a little implausible. I mean, Catholicism, maybe. Greek Orthodoxy, maybe. But a random Protestant church in Ohio?
Elissa: I mean, technically if Jesus is God, then everything is “by Jesus.”
Me: “The Holocaust By Jesus Christ”?
Elissa: I mean, technically, yes.
Me: I don’t think the people who made that church would endorse that Jesus caused the Holocaust.
Elissa: It’s not that he caused it. Just that he deliberately gave humans free will, knowing that it would happen. And that church is the same way.
Me: “The Church That Jesus Christ Failed To Prevent.“
I’m not sure if the Holocaust counts as a thing that was made, but that church building is definitely Jesus’ fault.
