Rapture humor: Jesus comes for the gay Christians

From “Evading Rapture” cartoon by Justin Pierce

Enjoy a gay-friendly cartoon about the Rapture that DIDN’T happen as predicted on May 21.

I can relate to a Jesus who says, “Gay Christians have remained faithful to me, despite being bashed by my followers in my name. If that’s not devotion, I don’t know what is.”

The cartoon comes from “The Non-Adventures of Wonderella” by Justin Pierce and it is reposted by permission.

Vision statement

Jesus in Love supports lesbian, gay, bi, trans and queer (LGBTQ) spirituality, with an emphasis on art and literature. It promotes artistic and religious freedom and teaches love for all people, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. It is based on these beliefs: God loves all people, including sexual minorities. The creative process is sacred. The queer visions, especially the gay Jesus and LGBT saints, will free people to experience the divine in new ways and lead to a more just world. Jesus in Love was founded by lesbian Christian author Kittredge Cherry as her personal project. It is her gift to the world. Many thanks to everyone who supports her vision.
