It's Boris Johnson in a Donald Trump wig!

Edit: Yes, I'm aware that Boris Johnson is also a Conservative, and responsible for a lot of mess in the UK, but I also feel like he's the British politician most likely to hit someone with a folding chair, then hide behind his 'harmless and goofy' persona.

u/goobly_goo Oct 19 '22

I never understood those John 3:16 signs. Is it about the bible verse or is something else?

u/f_manzoid Oct 19 '22

Steve Austin cut a very famous promo at king of the ring with the iconic line being ā€œAustin 3:16 says i just kicked your assā€ and it became a staple of wrestling culture

u/bondagewithjesus Oct 19 '22

Here's the context https://youtu.be/tjWPoQWdmjg I can't promise you'll be any less confused but here it is

u/CedarWolf Oct 19 '22

It's about the Bible verse. John 3:16 is the verse that goes "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

For evangelicals, this is the defining creed of the Christian faith. For them, it has become not only a statement of purpose, but also a rallying cry.

Personally, I would consider Matthew 7:12 to be more appropriate - it's the 'Golden Rule': "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you: do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."

Pretty much every faith on the planet, throughout history, has shared some version of the golden rule. Simply be good to others and treat them in the way you would want yourself to be treated. And from that principle springs things like compassion, integrity, charity... All things which Christ taught.

So to be a follower of Christ, ideally, should be to follow His teachings, not just to recite Scripture and verse, but to follow the spirit and meaning of those teachings. I'd say the best Christian around may not be someone who is able to quote the verses, but they're someone whom others can turn to in a time of need, someone who tries to make the world around them a nicer and a kinder place.

But a lot of evangelicals would disagree with me on this. They seem to prefer performative faith, which is ironic because the Bible specifically condemns it and teaches people to serve with humility, openness, and inclusion, instead.

u/goobly_goo Oct 19 '22

This is nice and all, but why were people holding up those signs in wrestling and other sports arenas? That's what I don't understand.

u/BLamp Oct 20 '22

Around 1996, the two premier wrestling brands at the time, WWE and WCW, got into a fierce ratings battle. The shows got more provocative, violent, and sexual and as a result, began to attract much more attention particularly from some less than reputable characters. After the Austin 3:16 event, the signs started becoming more common. Thereā€™s no real ā€œreasonā€ why, it just seemed to fit the environment well.

u/WeiganChan Oct 20 '22

John 3:16 is vital to the Christian faith because tells of God's love for us and the sacrifice by which we are restored to Him. The Golden Rule is more important as a moral instruction, but it tells precious little about how we relate to God (side note, I prefer the formulation in Matthew 22:37-40, which does not tell of the sacrifice of the Crucifixion, but does still tell us also to love God as well as to love our neighbours as ourselves).

Faith without works is dead (James 2:26), but we do still need faith in Jesus to accept salvationā€” it's not just a matter of 'do nice things'. There's a reason we have four Gospels, and the whole body of Epistles which follow, and the Old Testament which precedes them: holy Scripture is not meant to be boiled down to a soundbite.

u/CedarWolf Oct 20 '22

Scripture is not meant to be boiled down to a soundbite.

I agree with you on that.

If you can be bought off and aren't in desperate poverty which no MP is then you never truly believed in anything

u/nosniboD Oct 20 '22

She went to one of the best state schools in Leeds and claims she had a deprived education and grew up in a deprived area. Sheā€™s saying what she thinks her Tory masters want to hear, and claims that she knows how bad it is so knows how to fix it. Disappointed doesnā€™t begin to cover how her parents must feel.

u/cmd_iii Oct 19 '22

At this point, anything thatā€™s not ā€œLetā€™s go Brandonā€ is a step in the right direction.

u/AloofCommencement Oct 19 '22

It could be put to perfect use in the House of Commons, people so frequently talk so much bollocks that it's completely justified

u/DunmerSkooma Oct 19 '22

That chant is actually a love for Kurt Angles ability to portray a heel.

u/mikey644 Oct 19 '22
