I feel like whoever buys this should turn the garden into a satanic shrine, just to balance things out.

[-] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 31 points 1 year ago

I mean, it’s already a pretty good Pagan nature temple.

[-] VioletTeacup@feddit.uk 8 points 1 year ago

This is true! It just needs a sacred tree and a few triskellions to complete the look.

[-] Perfide@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago

And loads and loads of wild flowers and "weeds" like dandelions.

Paint it, have it appraised for many moneys, hang it there and watch the neighbour somehow ruin it. Claim damages for many money.

Excellent place for a gay bar.

[-] SirSpud@aussie.zone 37 points 1 year ago

Seems fitting, Jesus loved saying "Ah... Men"

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 8 points 1 year ago

The garden might be in Ireland, so it could be Eamonn.

[-] FatLegTed@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

Is it raining?

[-] VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 55 points 1 year ago

I am not well versed in religion but wasn't it their god that said not to idolize him ?

[-] AK77@feddit.uk 43 points 1 year ago

It’s fine, they’re mostly idolising his mum.

Mariolatry!

That link is actually a pretty wild ride. Excerpt: "Father Jerome of Texo, of the Society of Jesus, rejoiced in the name of slave of Mary; and, as a mark of servitude, went often to visit her in some church dedicated in her honor. On reaching the church, he poured out abundant tears of tenderness and love for Mary; then prostrating, he licked and rubbed the pavement with his tongue and face, kissing it a thousand times, because it was the house of his beloved Lady".

Yeah simps aren't new !

[-] alokir@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

If I recall correctly the bible said not to worship the idols themselves or other gods through idols.

The way many orthodox christians interpret this is that it's ok to have religious symbols or icons as long as you use them as tools of worship and not worship them.

[-] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 9 points 1 year ago

He actually told them not to worship “false” idols. Idols of his family are fine.

[-] Lemmylefty@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago

Having a ton of crucifixes up on a wall gets a lot funnier if you see them as hunting trophies.

[-] phi1997@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Each one claimed by slaying a goosafix

[-] Lemmylefty@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Turns out Jesus has come back hundreds of times, so why don’t we ever see him?

One word: Ethel.

Jesus Christ 😶

[-] kemsat@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Crazy lives there. It pretends to not be crazy by saying “God” all the time.

[-] 15liam20@feddit.uk 16 points 1 year ago

It would be an awful lot creepier if they were pictures of you.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago
[-] squiblet@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago

to me, this is a dichotomy of spiritual symbolism and worship of nature. I prefer the one on the right, personally.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago

Needs more wicker man.

[-] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Typical polish allotment garden be like

[-] Kittybeer@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

I'd imagine them being the judgiest neighbors ever. "Dont have sex too loud, the neighbors might hear us."

I think it's all the blue, but it made me think of My Big Fat Greek wedding.

[-] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago

Neighbors coming over.. "have you found Jesus?"

"No, but we're still looking"

[-] smattering82@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

I am more concerned about how long your grass is.

[-] rubpoll@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

If this shrine was about anything else nobody would shame you for worrying about whoever owns it.

[-] PlasmaDistortion@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

That looks like a creepy cemetery.

[-] MonsiuerPatEBrown@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I suppose there is a certain sense of stick-to-itiveness to the décor

[-] uralsolo@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Bit idea: put up a neo pagan Roman shrine next to it.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Fill it with gnomes.

[-] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Religious decor is one thing but does it also need to look so kitschy

[-] SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago

I think I prefer kitschy than the hyper realistic crucifix paintings/statues. The one at my church when I was a kid was terrifying - I’d always drag my mum to the side where peaceful Mary was rather than tortured Jesus!
