Cursed Fig! Or: How I witness to Lost Souls

Gather 'round, ye boys and girls, children of all ages, cloth, and stripes! It's time for a Bible story, taken from the Gospel According to Saint Matthew, Chapter 21.

16 And said to him: Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus said to them: Yea, have you never read: Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise? 17 And leaving them, he went out of the city into Bethania, and remained there. 18 And in the morning, returning into the city, he was hungry. 19 And seeing a certain fig tree by the way side, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves only, and he saith to it: May no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away. 20 And the disciples seeing it wondered, saying: How is it presently withered away?

Boldness has been personally added, to impress upon the memory of our 'busy' sons and daughters the Moral of the Story.

This is one of my favs. At some point I analyzed it pretty in depth on facebook, but I think the only good conclusion is that Jesus is a cry-baby fuck.

Yeah I really don't get this one. He takes his anger out on a poor tree! Pretty rash and immature. Whatever Minister of Propaganda put this whole Bible thing together was a genius, but the guy who let this verse get through the editing cracks... probably got nailed to a tree. Sideways.
