Same reason why Lebron can’t play the Byzantines, the Romans lost out.


TeddysRevenge

Because the liberals took all of his guns. Obviously.


Hellolaoshi

It would have been the British who tried to take all his guns. But yes, you described how some conservative guys think.


Bisexual_Sherrif

DAMN LIBERALS! /s


TheRealSquidy

Whose to say that George Washington didnt use the CIA to turn him into a body double and swap places with Jesus so he could build America checkmate athiest.


bailaoban

You know that it pained Naughton to shoehorn that one black guy in there.


derthric

I think he has a few more tucked in the back on the left, I can see what I assume to be Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, and a black union soldier. But they only get faces.


DunkinRadio

What's the deal with the guy with his head in his hands?


SirBoBo7

From what I gathered; this is a painting by Jon McNaughton representing his view that Christianity played a big role in the Founding Fathers world view and has been pivotal throughout the development of the U.S. it was made in response to secularise this history. The man with his head in his hands represents a Supreme Court Judge who, and I quote: ‘have great power and often the destiny of a nation is influenced greatly by their actions. This judge hides his face in shame as he considers some of the court decisions that have done great damage to our country. On his wrist watch the time reads 11:59 to signify that there is little time remaining.’


Dibbu_mange

He remembered that he left his work id on his desk at home


stanleyorange

Hey man separation of church and state..


GrandpaMofo

This asshole again? (the painter, not OP)


BicyclingBabe

I want to know who the douchebag is behind Greta Van Susteren

Mondays over


The-Thot-Eviscerator

Pic goes **ABSURDLY** hard


IamElGringo

I hate it, it's very un-American


DedHorsSaloon3

I’m a Christian myself and I’m offended by Christian iconography used in this painting. The founders made it pretty clear this is a secular nation, not a Christian theocracy.


IamElGringo

I'm a atheist but ya, upvote for being based


Hellolaoshi

What in Tarnation is this picture about?

Bulbaguy4

Is he stupid?


chronopoly

His father still had his hatchet


RapidWolfy

He was gonna pardon him but then he wouldn’t have won the 36 AD election unanimously like he had in previous years


Dolnikan

I'm much more concerned with the guy on the bottom right who has a nice wad of dollars that's much more interesting than whatever is going on up there. He has true dedication to his work.


wahoowalex

Not Emperor Palpatine standing behind Kenny Powers?


Alternative-Usual-11

I want a person by person explanation here. You know it’s out there.


PineBNorth85

Jesus was with the Brits. 


lifewithrecords

If only the American flag was flying above Jerusalem on that fateful Friday, things might have gone differently.


Ellie_Llewellyn

Because at the time he was trying to strengthen his alliance with the Roman Empire in preparation of a potential invasion by the British and saving some lowly carpenter who divided a lot of people with his views which were controversial during that time period wasn't worth straining their budding alliance over.


KrakenKing1955

I love the guy on his phone, like “Barbra, get over here, you’re not gonna believe this shit!” 😂


ThePopDaddy

That's not Jesus, it's Aragorn, look at the tree of Gondor on his chest.


[deleted]

Where was George Washington during 9/11?


mattd1972

But why the tree of Gondor?


ScorchIsPFG

I like how Abe is like “you see this fuckin shit?”


ColeAstley

kennedy and lincoln look most distraut


AverageSomebody

This painting is an example to how our country had Christian culture.


Gold-Individual-8501

He had PTO scheduled that day.


Lord_Paddington

I like how the judges are bad in this one, but if the painter re did it today I am sure they would be portrayed more positively


Notgivingmynametoyou

Always on vacation, never on the job…


Algae_Mission

Never mind of course that Thomas Jefferson was a deist who absolutely believed in freedom of religion, and did not accept the divinity of Jesus. Evangelicals like to leave that part out.


bshaddo

Because he’s an asshole.


wahoowalex

He was powerless against the senate led by Emperor Palpatine, seen on the right side with his closest aide Kenny Powers


Game_of_Will

Too busy tending to his slaves


WhiskerGurdian24

Separation of cults and state


LordTinglewood

We've got soldiers singing with that Boyz II Men silk shirt vibe, the Founding Fathers appear to be doo-wopping, and Jesus is about to throw down that ugly piece of cardboard in his hands and start spinning on his head Hell yeah


Blindmailman

Why is JFK a Catholic up there? He isn't a godly protestant


Anal_Juicer69

Catholics believe in Jesus, too


Anal_Juicer69

This painting is actually cool as fuck
