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

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 87 points 2 months ago

He's wearing a suit for fuck sakes.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 45 points 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 52 points 2 months ago (7 children)

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

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 22 points 2 months ago

With a black guy already nailed to it.

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

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

Jesus after seeing this pic:

[–] kossa@feddit.org 16 points 2 months 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 50 points 2 months 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 2 months 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 36 points 2 months ago

Clearly not a great carpenter.

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

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago (7 children)

Jesus would have survived crucifixion if he'd tried harder

[–] butersnaps@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

On the other hand, I think he nailed it.

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.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 37 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 32 points 2 months ago

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

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 32 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago

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

[–] dyathinkhesaurus@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No crown of thorns either. Amateur.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months 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!

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.
