It’s a perfect metaphor for the performative Christianity they love: all show, no effort

    Well the entire thing was an insult to whoever wrote Matthew 6:5. Which is a proud Christian tradition, but Americans take it a whole new level.

    I've given it a go being on the receiving end because I'm no hypocrite, but it didn't excite me

    Yeah. As far as I know, most if not all the porn stuff is on the lemmynsfw instance, which coincidentally is where @FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com is from. Plus, the '[M]' tag in the post's title helps identify gender.

    Jesus would have survived crucifixion if he'd tried harder

    What are you talking about, he did survive it, though he slept for 3 days before going to say bye to his friends then goy the fuck out of there before the sick fucks tried again. He then went to Scandinavia where he taught the people to mostly be cool, but, worried about another backlash, told them that maybe one day they can raid and pillage every now and then as a treat.

    You are correct if one were to assume the contents of the bible are an accurate representation of history; it's mentioned several times during the passion. Effectively Jesus, being God, could have just noped out or gone Old Testament or whatever. He specifically talked about that in the garden of Gethsemane basically saying he knows what's going to happen and is doing so voluntarily.

    If Jesus was so smart, why didn’t he think of this? Would have saved him a ton of work.

    Work smart not hard. Probably didnt even need to die for 'everyones' sins. Considering most people aren't Christian. The ROI just isnt there.

    If Jesus had put that gold, frankincense, and myrth into a Roth IRA and just sat on it. Well, the church wouldn't need an offering plate, Ill tell you that much.

    Holy shit this is the most accurate metaphorical depiction of modern Christians I've ever seen.

    Fun fact there's a guy in my area who drags around a cross made of recycled oak pieces (bits of old furniture cut and glued together) every Easter. Apparently he made it out of raw spite about performative and hypocritical Christians, he is mildly insane and was not even vaguely phased by my crazed neo pagan schtick so take of that as you will.

  • Not much to say about it, I just make batshit insane statements that wouldn't be out of place in viking themed RPG. Shit like "The Norns must hate you for our fates to cross" and "Thine flesh will make a fine sacrifice to the many named god" note I usually avoid saying Odin since he is still so relevant to pop culture as to be effectively stripped of any erieness same with Thor, so I go down the borderline Lovecraft route of names and titles or I just use lesser known ones like Godin which I think is the Lombard version.

    Some go further and abuse it (riding on a notorized cross)

    If the cross is notarized, does that mean you have to sign for it?

    If they're too lazy to even perform during their performative gestures, what's the fucking point?!

    They should just send a guy out there wearing a life size replica of Charlie Kirks head like a theme park mascot yelling "OBEY" followed by whatever they want their cult to do/feel/etc.

    It's rather poignant I think.

    After all the guy they are honouring only ever paid lip service to the religion. So they should to.

    Back on the Saturday before Easter I was driving down a highway when I saw police blocking the right lane. There was a church group walking along the road dragging a cross. I laughed my ass off when I noticed it had wheels. I only got a screen cap from a dashcam video.

    Where I grew up there were three churches on the island.

    An episcopal church at one end, a Methodist church in the middle and a catholic at the other end.

    The episcopal priest would lug the cross to the Methodist church, the Methodist priest would take it over and lug it to the Catholic Church, then the Catholic priest would lug it up into the church and the theee priests would do a communal church service ahead of Easter.

    No wheels.

    Community.

    Everyone welcome.

    This was the church community I grew up in, I’m an atheist now because of what the rest of the churches in the world showed me.

    If only we could have people performatively wheel around more practical execution devices, like the evergreen guillotine.

    Holy shit that's a great band name. Do not steal.
