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

    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.

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

    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”

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

    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)_/¯

    Holy shit this is the most accurate metaphorical depiction of modern Christians I've ever seen.

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

    If Jesus was so smart, why didn’t he think of this? Would have saved him a ton of work.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.
