AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The 'Most People Rejected His Message' or 'They Hated Jesus Because He Told the Truth' meme template features an image adapted from a Christian comic. This template typically shows a scene where a character is presenting another character with an uncomfortable or unpopular truth. The recipient of the message reacts negatively, often depicted with a disdainful expression.
OriginWho did it first?
This meme template is originally from a 1997 Christian comic pamphlet entitled 'Charlie's Ants' by American cartoonist Jack Chick. Within the comic, the character Charlie tries to warn an ant colony of an impending flood. The story transitions into a retelling of the life of Jesus, using the comic's characters to illustrate biblical narratives. The specific panel used for the meme reflects a moment where a character, representing Jesus, is scorned for speaking the truth. The digital version of this pamphlet was first made available online by the Kansas City With Russian Accent blogger Meecha on November 5th, 2010. You can view it here.[1]
