Anyone giving these donkeys money deserves to be parted with it, unfortunately.

I don't care who this asshole is, but whoever it is, one phrase comes to mind,
Fake christian, fake as A.I.

Yup. American Evangelism summed up in one picture.

It's practically a motto: "Optics, not substance."

You can only miss the point if you ever aimed at 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.

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

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 17 minutes ago

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.

It's probably made out of balsa wood

I'm guessing Papier-mâché

Holy shit this is so hilarious and so fucking awful. Jesus would be so pissed.

Now I'm imagining Peter Thiel pitching Jesus an easy button as an alternative to sacrificing himself for the sins of humanity.

Look at me! Look at me! I’m doing the thing! Look at me!

Vanity will get you sent to hell bro. Hope you know.

why didn't Jesus think of that? Was he stupid?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Jesus would have survived crucifixion if he'd tried harder

[–] butersnaps@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

On the other hand, I think he nailed it.

Turns out following the teachings of Jesus Christ and being a good person are too difficult for most Christians.

American style Christianity described in one image.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 49 points 1 day ago (5 children)

False. The cross is not self propelled with a $20 a month subscription.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 20 points 1 day ago

With a black guy already nailed to it.

Needs a sponsorship. I like the sound of the Fanduel Cross to Bear.

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

Pretty sure I heard a parable/fable/story about some ~~asshole~~ impious person doing something like this back during catholic catechism

Welp, that gif is retired now.

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

It's also way undersized. Look at how wide it isn't. They'd be nailing his elbows instead of his hands. It ought to be much taller and thicker too.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

the og cross was supposedly 9' x 6' and 300lbs according to my quick Google

ps I nearly did a Stonehenge and called it 9"x6"

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

IIRC, they did not carry the entire cross, the vertical member was permanently installed. They carried the horizontal portion and were basically hoisted by that into place

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

the vertical member was permanently installed

that's a cigar-waggler of a line

Let me symbolize the suffering that ~~I know others can’t escape~~ that is expected of others while making it easy as possible on the rich guy virtue signaling for their own aggrandizement.

E: words.

[–] plyth@feddit.org 11 points 1 day ago (4 children)

The convict had to carry a horizontal beam (patibulum), 1.5-1.8 m long, to the place of execution, from the place of flagellation. His hands were tied to the crossbeam with straps. According to Roman source literature, a person condemned to crucifixion, he never carried the entire cross, contrary to customary faith and contrary to many modern recreations of Jesus’ path to Golgotha.

[–] lovely_reader@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I googled this text to find the source. It goes on to say that the crossbeam alone weighed 45kg (about 100 lbs), so he could at least carry that much of it...

Wait until he gets his 30 lashes with the pink feather boa. That's when the crowd goes wild.

Hey when you're making up the story you can control the entire narrative

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 37 points 1 day ago

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.
