Yup. American Evangelism summed up in one picture.

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

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

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

[–] Cassanderer@thelemmy.club 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah what a pussy, this Showboat wants to look like he is respecting Jesus's burden, that has little wheels on his crucifix? What a pussy. Fuck this guy.

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

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Cassanderer@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am a little curious about your crazed Neo Pagan schtick.

I was thinking about a full paegan one...

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.

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

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 85 points 3 days ago

He's wearing a suit for fuck sakes.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 45 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You're telling me they didn't even nail him to it after?

A cross without wheels is poor people shit.

[–] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 24 points 3 days ago (4 children)

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.

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.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 142 points 2 days ago (1 children)

American style Christianity described in one image.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 50 points 2 days ago (5 children)

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

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 21 points 2 days ago

With a black guy already nailed to it.

[–] pachrist@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] veni_vedi_veni@lemmy.world 55 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago (7 children)

Jesus would have survived crucifixion if he'd tried harder

[–] butersnaps@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days 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.

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.

Hell isn't real.
But guillotines are.

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.

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.

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.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 33 points 2 days ago

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

[–] methods286@lemmy.world 55 points 3 days ago (6 children)

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

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 34 points 3 days ago

Clearly not a great carpenter.

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.

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.

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.

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

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 32 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

🎶I'm here to remind you of the wheels you use on that cross you bear, It's not fair!🎶

21st century Christianity.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 5 points 2 days ago

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