"Jesus' owner is an asshole." ... That's wrong, unless we're talking more than one Jesus. And I think that would be Jesi anway, right?

If something is instant it happens immediately, at once: Any employee who broke this ruling was faced with instant dismissal. Something instantaneous also happens immediately, but often as a consequence of something else, that is, at the instant of its occurrence: Death was instantaneous (at the moment of the accident or heart attack which caused it).
