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

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 87 points 1 week ago

He's wearing a suit for fuck sakes.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 46 points 1 week 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 25 points 1 week ago (1 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.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yes I wonder who wrote Matthew 6:5, if only there was some sort of a hint.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Honestly I’m surprised there aren’t more sects that explicitly reject Matthew by now. It’s the one that has the bulk of the “don’t be a dick” instructions.

Most of them seem to prefer John which can more easily be twisted into “if you’re a Christian you’re a winner and better than everyone who isn’t, no need to worry about the details, you’re already on the list”

American style Christianity described in one image.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 51 points 1 week ago (7 children)

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

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 22 points 1 week ago

With a black guy already nailed to it.

[–] pachrist@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

Jesus after seeing this pic:

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 46 points 1 week ago

And that even though people kept telling him: Jesus, take the wheel!

[–] kossa@feddit.org 17 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Nowhere in the bible is explicitly written, that Jesus didn't think of that. Might have had wheels for all we know. Maybe he just skipped gym and was weak af. Or had the wrong wheels for the terrain ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 49 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Wrong

Matthew 4:20:69

"And lo, Jesus tried to explain that the cross would be much easier to carry if it has wheels yet the Roman said 'lol, lmao'"

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 13 points 1 week ago

The wheels were being provided by Apple and so Jesus couldn't afford them.

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

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

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 35 points 1 week ago

Clearly not a great carpenter.

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

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Jesus would have survived crucifixion if he'd tried harder

[–] butersnaps@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

On the other hand, I think he nailed 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.

[–] RattlerSix@lemmy.world 40 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

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.

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

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

No crown of thorns either. Amateur.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thorns bite into my skin. And don't get me started on sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating... and it gets everywhere!

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

[–] xxce2AAb 24 points 1 week ago

21st century Christianity.

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.

11th commandment was work smarter, not harder

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.

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.

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.
