Yup. American Evangelism summed up in one picture.

The convict had to carry a horizontal beam (patibulum), 1.5-1.8 m long, to the place of execution, from the place of flagellation. His hands were tied to the crossbeam with straps. According to Roman source literature, a person condemned to crucifixion, he never carried the entire cross, contrary to customary faith and contrary to many modern recreations of Jesus’ path to Golgotha.

I googled this text to find the source. It goes on to say that the crossbeam alone weighed 45kg (about 100 lbs), so he could at least carry that much of it...

At Easter they give everyone a palm cross, then if you still have it by Christmas, you're supposed to burn it, but no one ever does still have it by Christmas, so they give you a new one. Then they burn that one.

This is supposed to signify something, but I don't think anyone knows what.

Wait until he gets his 30 lashes with the pink feather boa. That's when the crowd goes wild.

Let me symbolize the suffering that ~~I know others can’t escape~~ that is expected of others while making it easy as possible on the rich guy virtue signaling for their own aggrandizement.

E: words.

You can’t cross a bear with wheels.

You can only miss the point if you ever aimed at it.

I don't get it? What am I missing?

[–] comrade19@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

I think dragging the cross is a metaphor because it's heavy but this fellas got the wheels

Jeebus: I have to do WHAT for these idiots? Can't we tone it down a bit? Like maybe if I got billed twice for my Disney subscription one month or something? I'm not on board with this whole DYING thing...
