>>213569110 (OP)Panel Breakdown:
Panel 1: A character (Charlie from Hazbin Hotel, a show about redeeming sinners from Hell) says:
"See? Any sinner can be redeemed."
She gestures toward a clearly โredeemedโ sinner.
Panel 2: The scene cuts to a dark-looking demon (Alastor, also from Hazbin Hotel) looking menacing, contrasting with the redemption message.
Panel 3: Jesus appears, smiling and saying:
"Of course, that's why I, Jesus of Nazareth, came to them."
Heโs backing up the idea of redeeming sinners, referencing biblical teachings.
Panel 4: The original character (Charlie) looks awkward and unsure, sweating nervously and shrugging.
Punchline & Message:
The punchline is in Panel 4: Charlie is advocating for redemption, but becomes uncomfortable when Jesus Himself appears and affirms the idea. The expression implies that while the character supports the concept in a broad or secular way, she's caught off guard when it becomes explicitly Christian.
Interpretation:
The comic appears to criticize what the artist sees as hypocrisy or inconsistency in some modern or progressive circles โ promoting forgiveness and redemption, but becoming uneasy or dismissive when traditional Christian beliefs are brought into it.
Itโs suggesting that some advocates for inclusivity or morality are okay with the idea of redemption, but not when itโs connected to religion (specifically Christianity), even though Christianity was one of the earliest doctrines to center on that concept.
