Muscular Christianity is objectively one of the funniest movements in religious history. Jesus wants you to be swole. He wants you to admire the giant, rippling muscles of this statue. It’s red-letter scripture that thou must never skip leg day. Eat this granola bar and drink this protein shake in remembrance of me.

#religion #history #muscular christianity #the only thing funnier than muscular christianity is how popular it was #Victor Hugo: yes describing Jean Valjean’s rippling manly attractive muscles is relevant to this plot. It’s the proof that he’s Jesus.#ditto with Dickens #if you think about it - the Walden self reliance philosophy was just the transcandental-agnostic version of the same thing #what the fuck was going on???
