"Get Real With Jesus"

Spotted this picture on Tumblr: A guy holding a sign, presumably outside of Comic-Con in San Diego, that reads, DON'T BE COMIC CONNED... YOUR LIFE IS NOT FICTION. GET REAL WITH JESUS.

It's true that my life is not fiction (if it were, it would probably be more interesting). But as for Jesus, his life was probably for the most part fiction. I think I prefer the Doctor Who or Supernatural or Star Trek fandoms... the fans may get vicious about shipping,  and debates about which showrunner is the best, or dissecting misogyny and racism in their favorite shows, can get heated, but at least for the most part they are aware they're discussing fiction. The same can't be said for the Jesus fandom, alas.
