Jesus would be mortified that god made this abomination
In the Bible, God sent bears to kill kids for making fun of a bald guy. Jesus cursed a fig tree for not being ripe. The two are certainly cut from the same cloth, and yet Jesus would still be mortified.
To be fair, that fig tree was a bit of a dickhead
Fist time I read that passage (Mark 11:12):
12 The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14 Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.
That last phrase though, as if the writer wants to tell us: "Look here, jesus is an asshole!"
To make it even better, I think it was not even the season for figs, but it pissed off the all knowing dude anyway 🤷♀️
