This made me wonder if we would soon see Garrison draw a buff and square-jawed Nigel Farage, and then I remembered he drew this, which is even better:

real answer:

1. Hillary Clinton was on Jimmy Kimmel show and showed that she's a healthy, strong grandma who can open a jar by herself

2. Rightwing dumbasses spend days babbling about how there was no popping sound when she opened the jar, it was pre-opened, staged, false flag jar opening raah

3. Ben Garrison creates this super funny pickle-jar character he included in multiple cartoons (like the one below) and iirc made a t-shirt print or two of it



The joke answers were better.

Wait, worst? What did he do that was so bad? (I don't know basically anything about him, this is not a defense of Calvin)

He's the namesake of Calvinist Christianity, which favors Predestination and believes that all people are born either destined to be Christian and go to Heaven or are doomed to Hell from birth, which raises a bunch of questions about how good God can be if he intentionally damns people for no reason. Obviously, this goes well with Adam's superiority complex.

Also he hated Jews and killed a bunch of people killed as part of the Protestant Reformation.

biography.com posted:

While instituting many positive policies, Calvin's government also punished "impiety" and dissent against his particularly spare vision of Christianity with execution. In the first five years of his rule in Geneva, 58 people were executed and 76 exiled for their religious beliefs. Calvin allowed no art other than music, and even that could not involve instruments. Under his rule, Geneva became the center of Protestantism, and sent out pastors to the rest of Europe, creating Presbyterianism in Scotland, the Puritan Movement in England and the Reformed Church in the Netherlands.

Key phrase there is "at the beginning."

e.: You know what? gently caress it, I'll make this an effort post.

The passage he's quoting deals with Jesus responding to a group of Pharisees who, as they do at several points in Christ's life, ask questions about Jewish law for justification to try him for heresy. Here's the full passage:

Matthew 19 1-9 posted:

When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went into the region of Judea to the other side of the Jordan. 2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.

3 Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?”

4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

7 “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”

8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”
Jesus is using that passage to call out religious leaders at the time on their own hypocrisy, not to call out non-binary genders. As a matter of fact:

Matthew 19:10-12 posted:

10 The disciples said to him, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry.”

11 Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. 12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”
Christ says there are some people who don't fit the heterosexual template. And that's okay.
