    Lol, “come to Jesus” is a very obscure (apologies for that) slang expression for “waking the fuck up to reality”, usually with some tough love style assistance. No religious connotation whatsoever in the context I meant it.

      Considering how many rapists and murders find Jesus, and reoffend, it’s a bad analogy

        It’s not any kind of analogy, it’s an expression… An idiom… A fucking locution… Any of those words help?

        If the expression, as explained, were an analogy, it would imply that when people who believe in Jesus die and go to heaven, Jesus will chew their ass. Fuck, that’s also an expression… I mean… Be angry… Get their face really close to your face and angrily yell words at you…

        I don’t think anyone who believes in Jesus thinks that’s gonna be how the meeting goes… it’s more flowers, hugs, getting drunk as funk… Right?

        If a rapist and murderer said they woke the fuck up, then reoffended. Does that means saying “wake the fuck up” will then be a bad analogy that shouldn’t be used anymore?

          I would consider that argument a logic fallacy.
