You think when Jesus comes back, he really wants to see a cross? That’s like going up to Jackie Onassis with a rifle pendant on.

The fish is a popular bumper sticker
That fish logo looks weirdly corporate.
Do you want to talk with me about our saviour Arthur Fischer.
How did they overcome their aversion to the cross as their religious symbol? They learned to always look on the bright side of life.
Life is quite absurd and death is the final word, you must always face the curtain with a bow. Forget about your sins, give the audience a grin, enjoy it it’s your last chance anyhow
Sorry you got impassioned soapboxing instead of anybody getting your joke.
I knew it was a monty python reference but the actual story is so damn interesting, too
Explaining and showing your knowledge > Showing you get a joke. This is the way.
Just kidding! Crucifixion for me too.
So this guy the Romans sent to the colonies to persecute christian cultists got lost and hallucinated meeting with Jesus, turned around, and started converting Romans to Christianity instead. They kept all the same stuff from the old polytheistic religion except now they sacrifice goats, do confessions, uphold patriarchy, drink wine and eat bread in service of the one true G.
Except, the Romans brutally tortured and nailed his naked ass to the cross… How do you spin that? Say it was all for our suffering, of course! That it was completely consensual and part of the plan. And since Romans spread Christianity far and wide across Europe it became the standard.
The same way rich prick Americans drive vehicles made by modern Nazis. They either don’t know, don’t care, or hope that everyone else just eventually forgets the tragedies of the past.
Don’t modern christians know reclaiming degrading symbols is woke?
Didn’t they try to reclaim the rainbow from the gays?
I wqs into rainbows way before they were a gay thing, or before I knew they were at least. Now my profile pictures look gay AF because of it which is perfect because I support the movement.
They can pry the rainbow from my cold, fabulous hands!
