Jesus and Government Orders

and thou shalt not kill... unless the government tells you to and you’re just following orders, then it’s totally cool

Jesus sits among armed soldiers while a military drone flies overhead. The joke sarcastically contrasts the commandment against killing with the idea that killing becomes acceptable when ordered by a government, mocking obedience to authority and war. It is used as an ironic reaction to discussions about war, religion, militarism, or hypocrisy. EN: Jesus sits among armed soldiers while a military drone flies overhead.
