i was going to capitalize jesus' and god's pronouns throughout the essay as a visual demonstration of the way some of the stories juxtapose christian divinity with other things so there's something reinforcing the discussion other than dense repetitive text, but the thing is. jcs jesus is not a He/Him. that's a he/him. am i wrong??? i feel like that's the whole point. so now i am going to add some kind of note somewhere to clarify why and when i address him as which. so basically i am making jesus a pronoun carrd

#i think that like you could argue that jcs jesus' divinity comes from being a pop culture/religious icon rather than god or like his soul #but like jesus is not god in jcs #god is almost as much a mystery to jesus as all the other apostles #whereas the other works that do use jesus as a vessel for christian divinity blur the line between himself and god much more #jcs jesus isn't even that omniscient he doesn't even know he's going to resurrect. and he DOESNT resurrect #i feel like the whole idea is that they are all victims of the divine/the process of becoming icons #once they die they are truly dead which is why jesus doesn't come back #he IS dead. the MAN is dead and replaced by the neon led cross and the classical paintings #and judas is killed in the name of constructing a larger than life traitor figure #to me.#anyway the point is jesus theoretically BECOMES a He/Him after jcs has ended #but only because jesus the man has died. to become that kind of icon you must revoke your humanity #i dont even go into this that much in the essay because it's not about jcs it's about judas' function as a motif in various Medias i like #but i touch on the themes of jcs and He/Himming jesus in that section would confuse that discussion . i think #like last days jesus is definitely divine. you see why He/Himming would add something there yes??? jcs has a diff relationship w the divine #college tag #judas essay #THE COLLEGE EXPERIENCE??#me.txt #god i dont even know if i want people to see this i just had to let someone know #another essay in the tags
