A letter written by Jesus warns of imminent storms of Biblical proportions (literally) on Tasmania, Australia so long as gay marriage is the law of the land.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Jesus Himself delivered the proclamation through a faithful servant by way of a mailbox-stuffing campaign — typical Jesus move.
The note warns locals to repent, and they’d better have because it doesn’t sound like He’s messing around.
“This is a warning to turn from your idols, from your drug use, drunkenness,” the letter reads.
“Thefts, fornications, adulteries. Stop teaching your children the ways of destruction.
“I, Yeshua/Jesus Christ am going to have my way upon Tasmania for its whoredoms,” it goes on.
“Plead with your senator to amend the marriage act, ban unbiblical divorce, ban adulterous marriages, ban fornication, ban pornography, ban gay marriage, stop killing the unborn lest I rape your state that there be poverty like you have not seen.”
Australia, of course, legalized same-sex marriage in December of last year in a historic bill passed in the House of Representatives.
View the full note below, and be warned!
170 years on, it seems Hobart is once again “the Sodom of the South Seas”. Thanks to Martine Delaney for this photo of a bizarre poster in Salamanca Courtyard.

Jesus loves the gays. That’s why he helped us get marriage equality. Thank you Jesus!
silveroracle
Agreed.

A Pride parade sign I’ll never forget: If God hates gays, why are we so cute?
Kangol
Actually it was brave activists who “helped us marriage equality” in the US and everywhere else. They faced countless hurdles, threats, etc., yet soldiered on. Jesus can thank them too.
Billysees
Correctly and truthfully said.
Kangol speaks the truth also.

Why didn’t he leave a return (email?) address. I have plenty of things I want to talk to him about.

Pretty sure faking hateful letters from Jesus is a fast ticket straight to the front of the line to hell. Someone is in a hurry and doesn’t want to bother St. Peter with going over the records.

the message was left in mailboxes? wassamatta, all-powerful god doesn’t know how to send an email? maybe he needs to change his carrier.

I had no idea Tasmania is so exciting! Maybe the letters from “Jesus” are really an elaborate plot by their tourism authority. I never thought about going there… until now!
“And what of the North Coast?” Why, is the North Coast even more depraved and louche than Hobart is? I’ll definitely check it out.
But I have to wonder about that line “lest I rape your state”! That’s a freaky image: Jesus raping Tasmania?
Terrycloth
So Jesus looks like Jared Leto ?
Kangol
Not the historical one, i.e., the real Yehoshua who lived in the Middle East. But since then his image has been subject to all kinds of fanciful interpretations.

Religion, just like race, financial status, political preferences, hidden agenda’s and sexual orientation will always drive a big fat wedge between people. Stuff it. One love.

Someone needs to inform Jesus that the devil whom resides in Tasmania is unfortunately THE WRONG ONE…and He might not want to incur the wrath of Warner Bros. cartoons copyright lawyers. Even God can’t afford THAT settlement, lol…..”!@#-blecch-*&#@-pffft-yowl-%*!@&#!!

Chill the f out Queerty readers.
Oh yeah & please stop extrapolating (ie making shit up) Queerty journos!
Where did the letterbox stuffing “news” come from?
Rodney’s post says it was a POSTER in SALAMANCA COURT
Salamanca Court is in the middle of a liberal arts college (& a popular youth misic space). The letter is probably ironic or if not a simple troll.
All tougether now Queerty “DOH” (won’t hold my breath for correction)

What I can never understand is what happens to these people when the state isn’t raped (?!) and we don’t see poverty like we’ve never seen, there is no unusual killer storm in Hobart, the West coast isn’t shaken and Launceston isn’t torn up and whatever is meant to happen to the North coast doesn’t, yet we continue to love each other and get married?
Do they suddenly realise that their distorted, hate filled take on religion is all lies and delusion and seek help from a qualified therapist or do they just keep waiting, hoping and hating?
