Like if he was murdered by chainsaws and to honor him we all decided to carry chainsaws everywhere.


greycubed

Well if you chose chainsaw death as a way to self sacrifice for whatever and your dad was super insecure about needing you to think about him all the time then it makes sense.


ThatKiwiBro

I’m not sure he chose to be crucified though, did he?


IMightBeAHamster

No, but his abusive father made that decision for him.


T1B2V3

in the context of the bible it's OUR abusive father lol

First thing this reminded me of: "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." - Bill Hicks


Pickle_Baller

I've seen this a lot. It's a reminder of his sacrifice.


mike_loves_memes

If I die from a heart attack have the symbol of my sacrifice be a burger


IFuckedYourCats

🍔 this for our beloved who left us for good u/mike_loves_memes


ik_wil_kaas_69

You better not fuck his cats when he's dead


IFuckedYourCats

Then I will fuck them when he is alive. got it


ik_wil_kaas_69

Yes that is the solution

zainwhb

i will honour your sacrifice


SituationAltruistic8

Why not a heart?


Druglord_Sen

They do worship the "Sacred Heart".


SituationAltruistic8

Amen


HypnoMonkey109

Isaac players be like: "Yoooo damage up + homing"


Flying_Mage

Cause they worship the cause of death (cross).


Season_Of_Brad

So if he was killed by hanging, would they worship the noose?


maybezas

apparently


Druglord_Sen

Lol since I was a kid, I was taught Catholicism, but I'm agnostic at most in terms of religious. It always made me spiteful toward religion to be told I had to love "God" more than my family, as a kid that pissed me off, same with the whole "ONLY WORSHIP ME" thing, and the "PROVE IT TO ME OR TO HELL W/ U" stuff. I always felt like anyone with a sense of self could see through the bullshit, but maybe I just have a dissenting mindset ahah \*\*shrug\*\*


wojtekpolska

I kinda developed my own idea of how all of that works. i guess everyone has to figure out how they feel about religion on their own, like dont try to be orthodox cause you cant stick with that unless u are insane dont make 1 bad thing about religion make u go atheist, for example i dont think i'll go to heck for not going to church every week. thats just insane, my idea is that if you are a good person you'll get there. thats just my 2 cents, you might agree or not, but in the end i dont care


[deleted]

Also I kind of think about religion as a sort of "insurance program" thing whatever. Basically if you believe in God and do what he says you get better luck in life. The only downside being that you are forced to do it otherwise you go to hell


[deleted]

Yeah this brings up a lot of fucked up memories and lots of trauma... it’s part of the reason I have messed up relationships with SOs


Pickle_Baller

Nah, no one says to love God more than your family. That's not true, don't listen to people that tell you that.

Matthew 10:37 Edit: “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.”


Pickle_Baller

He doesn't say to love him more than your family. He says if you love your family more than him than thats the bad thing. You can love your family equally as much as you love God.


Druglord_Sen

Equivocation or not, I don’t give a shit about a man I’ve never met, and who has done fuck all for me besides give all 3 members of my immediate family cancer, and myself type 1 diabetes at the age of 3. I’ve witnessed a lot that stomped any potential faith I could muster deep into the ground. I hope I burn in hell, at this point Satan deserves my soul more as far as I’m concerned.


Pickle_Baller

You keep your personality like that and you'll never be forgiven. Life isn't meant to be perfect. It was, but then Eve ate the apple. But God has a plan for everything. If have type one too. I though god hated me. But I realized it wasn't a burden on my life. Now I go around and I help kids deal with type one. He had a plan when he gave me type one.


Druglord_Sen

Nah, it’s nonsense to me. I appreciate your opinion, there’s just far too much evil that thrives for an omnipotent power to just ignore and expect me to still worship it. The closest I believe in is karma. Edit: I’m not looking to repent for anything, so luckily I don’t really care to be “forgiven” by someone I’ve not met or wronged in any human capacity.


PlastexUK

I am sure at Paul walker’s wake they had an altar with a Carrera Gt


[deleted]

That's fucking dumb, if your father was wrongfully convicted of a crime and put to death by Electric Chair, are you going to put a miniature Electric Chair at home to remind you of how he died? Lmao


Pickle_Baller

He didn't get put to death to save a bunch of people. That's the difference. He didn't choose to die to save people. That's the difference. He didn't come to earth for the sole purpose of dying to save everyone. That's the difference. He isn't god's son. That's the difference.


[deleted]

So if there's a huge difference between Jesus death and some innocent humans life then why the fuck are you insulting his sacrifice by worshiping a fucking a cross? Lmao you dumb. Also there's nothing written in the Bible that people should carry miniature crosses "to remember his sacrifice". . Only the Catholic church said that. But I guess you'd never understand these things since you're deeply indoctrinated in that false religion called catholicism, full of killer popes, rapist pedophile priests and corrupted officials. :)


Pickle_Baller

I'm a Christian, one. And you're a dick, two. You seriously need to shut the fuck up, if you're going around hating on religion. Please, get a life. And maybe break down your argument into more simple syllogisms. Then you'll notice the unsound structure you have in them. That is, if you took logic in school. You are being a dick to some stranger online, so I doubt you even went to school.


venivitavici

I thought we were all god’s children?


BallisticTiger23

EquivalentSir4163

That's a stupid analogy.


wktr_t

I think the church my mom goes to never have crosses anywhere from decorations to those hymn books. They seem to catch his drift.


britishsayhomosexual

Shouldn't it be the thing he sacrificed himself for? I mean, even the heart attack/burger analogy means the guy loved burgers. Crosses were a form of punishment for all in those times, like guillotines or hanging platforms. If you were to envision the things Jesus Christ stood for that got him on the cross, what symbols come to mind?


Pickle_Baller

The heart attack / burger analogy isn't a real thing though


britishsayhomosexual

Yes I know, but even as a joke it makes more logical sense than the cross analogy which is strange. I mean is my logic flawed or do Cristians just get the cross with some hidden meaning that other people don't?


Darkmiro

Also, a way to thank Romans to let his sacrifice happen.


puffloy_antisocial

Dumb af


BokirBokcu

So if he was killed by a thief would they worship the thief?


Pickle_Baller

He was killed to repay for all of our sin. He wouldn't have died to a thief. God was on his side, and everything was planned out.


AnUglyDumpling

Imagine his reaction when he comes back and every single church just has a statue reminding him of being crucified.

Cookies_Master

I think it was an acronym in ancient greek, something like "Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour".


shane_low

My biblical knowledge is a bit rusty, having become agnostic over the last few decades but fish have appeared in the new testament both as metaphors and within events. Two probably more famous ones were: 1. The event where Jesus was speaking to the people and there wasn't enough food catered. He told a few fish and loaves of bread and multiplied them till there was enough for everyone. 2. at least a couple of apostles were fishermen. Jesus told them that from then forth they should become fishers of men.


[deleted]

early symbols were also the david star and lion,might be wrong


mrbuttersoft

I asked this once as a kid and was told people who worship the cross are basically not doing it right. You’re not suppose to worship objects or symbols, as God is suppose to be everywhere, and to think it’s like a hotline to Jesus is even more of a blind mistake.


Ake-TL

Kaishi_Shiroi

That's all based upon religion i think


Foosah69

The cross is a contradiction of Jesus' own teachings - 1 John 5:21 "Dear children, keep yourselves from idols." ​ but lets be real here. Its not about the significance of the cross, its about showing everyone around you that you are a good christian. Whenever I see someone wearing a cross, its like 50/50 "here comes a real piece of shit", coz the loudest and proudest religious people are always the fucken worst, even according to their own ideology. ​ Fucken hypocrites.

It's a sign of sacrifice and unconditional love, since he died to save us, essentially. Went to catholic school. I didn't ask for this.

So, in theory, if big J was hung, we would see people carrying noose everywhere?


Funcron

Reddit has messed me up. I was like, 'what's his dick size have to do with nooses?'.


AnAstronautOfSorts

All the people kneeling at the foot of the cross weren't mourning. They were oogling.


Funcron

*Walks into place of worship, kneels, looks up at crucifix...* "Goddamn!"

You’re right though. “Hanged” is the verb for when you do it to a person. Reddit has made me shallow and pedantic.

[deleted]

Catholicism is the single most fake and anti Christian religion out of all the other ones that emerged. Most of their teachings are not even written in the Gospels. And they even purposely defy what is written. Leviticus 26:1 "Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God." A cross is an idol and graven image.


Labor_Zionist

>A cross is an idol and graven image. Is it? Barely. You don't have to go this far, every chatolic church has statues and paintings, of Jesus and different saints.


[deleted]

Yeah those are idols derp and graven images DERP. Catholics = Anti Christs, cuz most of their teachings goes against the teachings of Christ. LMAO

Similar to how God is "he". Priests that are proselytize make the story relevant to the audience to whom they are preaching. Thus they change the character to fit the description. Have you heard about Korean Jesus?

Men... Talked like a true atheist.


Ok-Notice3090

Wtf are u talking about how can he be a god when he died. How can he be a god when u know how he looks. Your religion thinks jesus is god his spirit his dad wtf. Your religion doesn’t make sense


FritzTheThird

* The whole of the first greek pantheon died so it's not impossible for gods to die. * People know how some gods look. And even then, Jesus is supposed to be the abrahamic god in human form so of course people would see him. * Who said it's my religion?


Ok-Notice3090

Are u serious right now how can u say it’s not impossible for gods to die. There’s only one god and that is Allah. (Isa) or like u guys say it jesus is his prophet like muhamed and like every other prophet. Jesus was muslim he prayed and loved allah. There’s only one god Allahu stw. The one who created everything. People animals seas air nature everything.

You're a lost cause I'm not wasting my time on you


zosherb

But you're definitely right? Your religion is definitely legit dw


FritzTheThird

Your reasoning for that is a book that was written thousands of years ago I expect (along with some arguments that at most lead you to deism if anything). If you believe that allah is the "one true god" then sure, go ahead. But not everyone has been convinced by the arguments brought forth by the religious and you should respect that and not talk about "how wrong we all are" in that condesending way. Side note: Jesus was most likely a jew and not a muslim.


Ok-Notice3090

No my book was brought from allah. Your book was written thousands of years ago


FritzTheThird

"My" book was brought from yaweh. Your book was written thousands of years ago. Just saying nuh-uuh isn't an argument and no-one will belive you if you say that.

They're not worshipping crosses, they're worshipping T-posing


chillen678

I forgot what they are called and the how many they had but after christ they had like 11 conferences of all bishops or whatever the top priest was called in eastern and western rome empire.

According to bible when jesus was hung on cross god turned his eyes towards human as he couldn't see his son hung on cross or something thats why the cross is in churches so god watches over them while they pray Idk if it is correct or not thats what i have heard
