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

      Fun fact there’s a guy in my area who drags around a cross made of recycled oak pieces (bits of old furniture cut and glued together) every Easter. Apparently he made it out of raw spite about performative and hypocritical Christians, he is mildly insane and was not even vaguely phased by my crazed neo pagan schtick so take of that as you will.

          Not much to say about it, I just make batshit insane statements that wouldn’t be out of place in viking themed RPG. Shit like “The Norns must hate you for our fates to cross” and “Thine flesh will make a fine sacrifice to the many named god” note I usually avoid saying Odin since he is still so relevant to pop culture as to be effectively stripped of any erieness same with Thor, so I go down the borderline Lovecraft route of names and titles or I just use lesser known ones like Godin which I think is the Lombard version.

      Work smart not hard. Probably didnt even need to die for ‘everyones’ sins. Considering most people aren’t Christian. The ROI just isnt there.

      If Jesus had put that gold, frankincense, and myrth into a Roth IRA and just sat on it. Well, the church wouldn’t need an offering plate, Ill tell you that much.

      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)_/¯
