Basically, the biblical story is about a hungry Jesus Christ that was got big anger finding no figs on a fig tree despite not being the season and, as punishment, cursed the fig tree and dried it within 24 hours. This unusual fact, anger against the fig tree, which hath troubled the conscience of many Bible students and translators, is not ever read in church. Even after changing with each translation, the phrases order and the words of the text, that supposedly should not change. What we will never know is whether this passage of the Bible is so problematic for the church by embarrassing or by absurd.
What we do know is the “policy changes” in what is supposed to be the word of god. Not until 1946 when the Bible is positioned against male homosexuality. The first Bible, published in 382, made no reference to something we now call homosexuality. A combination of translation errors and intentional changes that results in dementia, or collective hallucination, to Phelps Family, holding on to a literal interpretation of the Bible, understood as the word of god, when in fact god’s word is from the convenience of the man.
Absurd is that god hates figs, as is likewise that god hates fags. Does god hate figs? Does god hate fags? Does god hate bags? Does god hate facts? Does god hate you? Does god hate cats? god?
With our 3D God hates figs, we would like to acknowledge its creators and denounce discrimination that exists in many sectors of society, protected by the supposed word of God, and toward the authorities do nothing.
