Under Christianity idols are also forbidden. Something about idols being perversions rather than holy. It's just one of those things out of many Christians seems to ignore...

    You know how we tell the story about brutally murdering the Son of God? We want to put that on display, all the time, in His House, so He never ever forgets.

    God is love!

    But don't forget, Jesus is also God. Fully, but also distinct. So we're reminding Him about how He had himself killed so that He could forgive us because some lady who didn't know anything didn't follow His directions

    Let's not forget that he's the one that invented the rules that allegedly required such a stupid and convoluted plan.

    In Christianity, the crucifixion is the moment of victory. Christ’s sinless death is what allows mankind to be redeemed, and that was the plan all along. So they see the crucifixion as holy, though it is also mourned. It is used as a reminder of the love God has for his people and as a sort of “try to be better” thing.

    No wonder Jesus hasn't come back. We never miss a chance to remind him of what happened last time

    This reminds me of a joke:

    " Aliens make first contact with humans. They are peaceful and start a dialogue with us. The subject of religion comes up, and Christianity is described to the aliens and they respond by saying ' oh yeah we know Jesus. He came comes to visit you too?'

    'Well yes, once, over 2000 years ago.'

    To which the aliens reply: 'That's weird he visits us every year, stays for about a week for the high feast we throw in his honor. It's a recreation of what we did for him the first time he appeared. What happened when he came here? Maybe if you recreated whatever that was....'

    'Oh, um, we crucified him.'

    'Oof. Ok. Makes sense now.'

    Catholicism lore and practices are actually pretty metal if you think about it.

    Carry a figure of the dying tortured son of god in a little chain on your neck. Nailed to a cross, speared through the chest, and with a fucking spine crown.

    Spikes and a skull tattoos have NOTHING on Catholic paraphernalia.

    Literally the second commandment:

    2 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.

    Wow what a good entity that is totally deserving of my worship.

    Nothing says divinity better than petty human emotions like jealousy, and open threats to my unborn children and grandchildren.

    Religion is given far too much respect in the world when it needs to be treated as a mental disorder.

    Idolatrous iconography is cute, but the real elephant in the room with Abrahamics these days is bibliolatry. Hate to make a Potter reference, but so many of these people think their God is Tom Riddle.

    It takes a finger to point at the moon, so look at the moon, not the finger.

    The Christian bible says exactly the same thing, Christians just ignore it.

  • Jesus returns, looks around at crosses everywhere.

    "Fuck me. I'm glad I didn't die accidentally drowning in manure!"
