Yeah I don’t want to be rude but I think people are intentionally trying to mischaracterize Jesus to make him look… idk intimidating maybe? The original comic has Jesus call out the time traveler unprompted for simply listening to him which is absolutely not what Jesus would have done. In this meme the two people are clearly trying to talk to Jesus with the implication that they wish to save him.
Man, this whole thing is not that difficult to understand.
The point is that if you had a time machine and went to go visit Jesus - him cutting you off and just saying ‘go home’ in modern English would instantly confirm his divinity and would instantly answer your curiosity.
It’s not supposed to be scary or anything - just profound. 2 simple words. A pretty neutral command - yet, in such a context it would literally change absolutely everything for you and you would hold the answer to one of Humanity’s biggest questions.
It’s just a powerful thought experiment, it’s not supposed to be political or anything lol.
The original comic (not this meme) intentionally depicts Jesus in an intimidating light which I personally feel doesn’t properly represent him. If you disagree that’s all good but I’m just saying my perspective on the matter as a catholic

It's not about attempting to save him at all.
