Radioactive Iconoclasm: Jesus In Chernobyl



Oh sure, he's there now, but where the fuck was he back in 1986! Throwing spanners in the reactor, no doubt. And why wouldn't he, radioactive spew was too good for those Atheist Communist scum! The radioactive burns will compare nothing to the burns those secular heathens will suffer in the fires of hell. A thousand damnations upon souls of those non-believers. It's too late now for them to to try and create a "fusion" in their hearts with the Lord, the "fission" is too great...

Anyway, you get the idea.



Even Mother Mary is there. And look how lovely she looks, with all that smoke and radiation coming out of her. This religious picture does look very nice though, like it's part of some card game. You could stick a few "power" stats underneath it and viola: Chernobyl Christian pokemon!



Honestly though, I would definitely put that picture up on my wall if I got a print of it. It's "fire and brimstone" but in a sci-fi way, like the Church of the Alpha-Omega Bomb in Planet of the Apes.


Admittedly, I would probably worship such a device too...

And last but not least, let's take a closer look at that unusual tree in the first two graven paintings. It's a real tree found on the outskirts of Chernobyl and countrary to what you might think by looking at it, it's shape has nothing to do with the 1986 radiation leak, though it was subsequently killed off by the incident.

 

It's known as the Partisan Tree and it was used in World War 2 by the Germans to hang Russian Jews and resistance fighters.
