It's very simple. We'll get rid of the pride flags as soon as they get rid of all the crosses. Fair is fair, after all.
The fucking crosses, man.
You think Jesus ever would want to see another cross again?
Dude wouldn't be able to take Public Transit in Boston.
If Jesus came back he probably wouldn't even use the letter "t".
Imagine resurrecting into a world full of people wearing crosses with you nailed to them all just acting like it's not fucked
The funny part is that they aren’t even historically accurate crosses. The cross was more like a capital T. The upright post was buried in the ground like a fence pole, with a square peg carved at the top. The actual cross part was just the crossbar, with a matching square hole carved in it. The crossbar was lifted up and set on top of that peg.
The square peg likely only stuck out an inch or two from the top of the T, and that was mostly just to make it more durable, as the peg wore down with use but burying the posts was a labor intensive process. They didn’t want to bury a new post for every single crucifixion, so they made the posts reusable and just swapped out the crossbars.
When Jesus carried his cross to Calvary, he was only carrying the top of the T. But over time, to distinguish it from the capital T, Christians started using the modern cross with the accentuated peg, and it eventually morphed into the modern cross that we all recognize today.
Huh, I would've assumed they were trying to distinguish it from Thor's hammer.
Then you go to church and see them eat your flesh and blood.
To be fair, that one he said to do
Cannibal death cults man, they be fucked.
thats why theres the angels to clear everything out when the time comes.
Jesus talkking to Peter after the rapture: "Yeah, got all of them, except those antichristians who celebrate my death with crosses. No way I'm bring those sick weirdos up here."
That brings a whole new dimension to the T, but you know what, after being subjected to the green line more than a few times it entirely makes sense.
