ILoveEmeralds

Inaccurate, Jesus didn’t get a wheel to make it easier


BlackPitOfDespair

And it looks too flimsy to carry body weight. Fail.


Snoo_58309

I mean, if the guy is trying to make a statement, it should at least be more accurate right?


RevolTobor

No wheels, his hands should be nailed to the arms, and he should be wearing a crown of thorns. \-edit- Okay so I was wrong, his hands were tied to the arms of the cross first before being nailed on, my bad.


Th3B4dSpoon

Thr nails came only after he had carried his cross to his place of execution though? Or maybe I misremember the story.


some-funny-name

yeah, I believe he was tied to the cross with rope first


RevolTobor

You're right, my dumbass forgot lol


RevolTobor

Yeah, I was the one misremembering, my bad lol


Snoo_58309

Technically, and historically speaking, it would have been his wrists and not his hands, because of gruesome reasons I don’t need to elaborate on because that’s totally not the point here but I’m a history nerd so I know too much


RevolTobor

Yeah, I had it wrong, my bad \^\^;


Snoo_58309

Nah, it’s no big deal to me, he’s often depicted with marks on his hands, even though it’s not historically accurate. Either way, the guy is not proving his point very well. lol


AromaticInxkid

This is just so hypocritical low-effort, they don't even bother to be biblically accurate


Jonjoejonjane

You can say that a lot with Christians


Gloomy_Magician_536

I was just watching a video about the "christianese" language and the "Biblically correct" idiom


Nike-6

Enochian?


Gloomy_Magician_536

No, christianese is not an actual language, but more of a way of speak of christian people with things like "I'm a new man" or "the holy spirit spoke to my soul". "Biblically correct" referst to things some christians believe have foundation on the scriptures and therefore cannot be moved or changed.


Nike-6

Ahh, thank you.


helen790

Enochian isn’t a Christian language, it was made up by occultists. John Dee and the other occultists said it came from angels but it has no connection to actual Christian texts


Reaverx218

My exact thoughts. If you are going to bastardize and cosplay being an oppressed voice like Jesus then do the work. Get a heavy oak wood cross and Drag it like a real Christian you cowards.


IAmBecomeDeath_AMA

Yep, and he has padding on his shoulder so the wood doesn’t hurt. He wants the image of suffering but doesn’t want to actually suffer. Faker.


therosslee

Yet another white dude cosplaying a brown man and fking it up to no end while whitewashing


TheDonutPug

also jesus was *actually being persecuted.*


[deleted]

When Jesus said love every man like your brother he meant pitch a fit when you’re expected to have basic human respect for other people.


xxxhotpocketz

It’s the same group that is pro life but refuse to do anything about gun violence, homeless, health care, you know.. the stuff that would actually help people by saving lives, giving them access to health care, providing homes, food, literally anything but they choose not to Only thing that matters to them is their orange guy who they worship as a god


TimidEgg

Honestly, pretty accurate to having a sibling. Maybe we've been wrong the whole time?


[deleted]

You should also love your siblings as your siblings


[deleted]

Jesus, take the wheel!


Ocean_Fish_

Take it away, Jesus


_game_over_man_

There is someone in my area that has one of those. I've seen him walking around with it twice on two completely different sides of town that are probably a solid 10min drive. He has some other flags on it. I don't recall a Trump flag, but he may have a POW flag on it. I haven't seen him in a while. The first time I saw him was really weird and I had similar thoughts in regard to the wheel. You gotta love performative Christianity.


[deleted]

Exactly. If someone was willing to be tortured and then drag around a 200lb cross while bleeding profusely just to be homophobic, then I’d honestly give them a pass. If you’re gonna be a hateful asshole, at least put some effort into it.


[deleted]

I was gonna say, putting a wheel on the cross makes it look ridiculous. If they put Jesus on a cross with a wheel on the bottom he would have just zoomed away lol.


slyboots-song

He... took the wheel 😏


realdealreel9

Jebus, take his wheel


Daderklash

The communicycle


TheArmitage

If using a wheel to drag around a cross isn't metaphor for Christians pretending to be oppressed by the existence of others, then I don't know what is.


PCbuildforchristmas

Every time I think I have something to say about a pic, reddit shows me that I am just like everyone else and not mommy's special snowflake like she said. Why did she lie????

What part of the image makes you say that? Had a close look at it but there's nothing that jumps out at me as being off.

pretsel_was_taken

What actions?


[deleted]

There was a protester pulling a cross on wheels Bourbon Street in New Orleans during Southern Decadence one year. The queens heckled him for cheating for having training wheels on his cross.


Reaverx218

I'd of been right thier with them like. Damn bro you came all this way to cheat on the actual sacrifice bro. You think they gave Jesus wheels when he died for our Sins! Seems like yall need to go back and do your homework. Maybe then you will remember the part about not judging others.


[deleted]

Of course a wheel on the cross, convenience Christianity. Remember when they attached Jesus to the cross with padded velcro straps for twenty minutes and then let him go home.?

[deleted]

Not only that, if you zoom in there’s padding on the crux where his shoulder is. It’s fucking pathetic.


VermilionLily

What a little bitch! And he looks MISERABLE. The "oldest gay in the village" looks so happy, it's awesome


WookieeCookiees02

I love that man so much


guru2764

Can that man be all of our grandfathers please


RandomWebFace

Does that protester actually realise how dumb he looks? Like who actually has a giant cross in their garage? It's like that episode of Father Ted, when he puts that giant cross out front


TUNAKTUNAKLOL69420

>Like who actually has a giant cross in their garage? Dracule Mihawk, I guess


YourDuckLeader

yeah but that's like a sword, and he is the best swordsman in the world so it's cool, here its just tacky


ejuliot55

Chad old man vs virgin Christian protester.


Sofjoy82

I can just hear him in my head going ‘wheee!’ Past the guy😂


purlandcrystal

www.theargus.co.uk/news/20005924.amp/ This is George Montague, the 'oldest gay in the village', activist and absolute legend. He sadly passed away earlier this year and Brighton Pride was not the same without him.


KingJaredoftheLand

Oh, I’m sad to hear that. I was at Brighton Pride a few years ago and I remember him opening the parade as the first float on his little mover thing. Apparently he did that every year. It was really cute and significant. RIP


that_dumb_warlock

NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, GAY GRANDPA!


AndiCrow

94 year old gay man and an asshole at a pride event in Brighton, UK


Giddy_Duck_84

Really? Why? Edit: I though you knew the old man was a pain, not the cross bearing bumpkin. I’m stupid, Sorry!


blusilvrpaladin

How do bigots reconcile old gay/trans people with "It's all a trend"?


TUNAKTUNAKLOL69420

"They were hippies" /s


Puzzleheaded-Phase70

Only one of these men had courage. Only one is Christlike. Only one deserves heavenly reward. And it's not the one with the wood.

TUNAKTUNAKLOL69420

One Piece fans when they find out Wolfwood's full name is Nicholas "D." Wolfwood


DannyDanumba

Nowhere near as badass tho


[deleted]

Just a Catholic which wants to say sorry about these dickheads. Personally, the thought that god would just make a soul just to have it sent to hell because either it A. Likes the same gender or B. Identifies as a different gender or is genderfluid just sounds so off and silly that if that was a rule that god has I would be willing to go to hell for not believing it.


succulent_shrooms09

He is so slay


Super-Hyena1922

When you think about it the cross was just the tool Romans used at the time for dead penalty. Their whole religion worships a weapon. It’s like if people now carry an electric chair or have a gun necklace or worship the guillotine. Weird af


grey_hat_uk

Guillotine earings where a thing. People can be quite odd when it comes to fashion.


mechanical_marten

Found a fellow Dark Matter 2525 fan. 😊


ill-independent

Considering Christians do worship guns in America this is more or less accurate.


TUNAKTUNAKLOL69420

Like seriously which part of the story makes you think that Jesus likes the cross?


[deleted]

“Everyone’s got their own cross to bare.” But come on? Seriously?


SirenofInsomnia

Honestly he isn't really even baring his own lmao. Had to put a training wheel on it.


[deleted]

HAH! Yep

A wheel at the base of the cross and no crown of thorns? That’s cheating!

Oldest gay in the village. It references the sketch from the TV show ‘Little Britain’.

I’m the oldest gay in the village. Little Britain reference.


[deleted]

And if you had to pick one of them to have a beer with, I guarantee you that 99.99999% of the public would not pick the the grumpy weirdo with portable cross! One embraced his life and humanity, the other is collecting brownie points for an imaginary vengeful god…


Trapsendhelpandsnack

Im pretty sure I met both of these dude’s the older guy was so cool. The other guy walked back and forth all parade long behind the parade and the only people that cared were him and his Fitbit


[deleted]

Who’s smiling and throwing good vibes and rainbows and who’s on the phone with generic vibes? 🤔


GaiusJuliusCaesar7

A Christian protester turned up at the Durham Miners Gala one time I was there. No idea why - although it's a wonderful day, it isn't about LGBTQ+ people specifically (though of course, it's a celebration of workers - and most LGBTQ+ people do work!) Anyway, he was waving his picket sign with Bible quotes about, so one of the miner's brass bands changed what they were playing to something more appopriate: YMCA. I love a brass band anyway, but that was a perfect moment.


[deleted]

i absolutely love the symbolism of putting wheels on the crucifix to make it easier to carry. christians are only christian when it suits their needs, when it’s convenient for them. using Leviticus to justify being homophobic but saying Leviticus doesn’t apply to the modern day when you point out everything else Leviticus forbids. christians cite the bible while being a bigot but conveniently turn a blind eye to it while eating pork or shellfish, or wearing clothes made of more than one material. they’ll march against gay marriage and cite “the sanctity of marriage” while being on their fifth marriage.


Kendall_Raine

I like how the christian has the cross on a wheel to make it easy for him to carry. That, like, completely negates the entire point of that whole thing, doesn't it? You want to pretend like you're Jesus carrying the cross, the least do it in a way that makes it at least somewhat inconvenient for you. But no you're just wheeling it around talking on your cell phone as if that has any meaning. At least if he was dragging it or lifting up the entire thing on his own he wouldn't look like a big pussy and a fake. What a loser.


lukkgx2a7

Now that is the grandfather we needed but didn’t deserve


minhthecat

Why does it look like an enemies to lovers book cover


AllergicToRats

Lol the wheel on the cross


BitchWidget

Jesus didn't get a roller wheel for his cross.


Violet_Llama_1337

That cross he’s carrying is flimsy af, and it’s got wheels. Nice way to “carry your cross”.


Theremin_Dee

And once again, the Christians' "cross to bear" is of their own making and for their own comfort.


kawaiiglitterkitty

Wussy put a wheel on the cross


Little-Ad1235

I was surprised to see that this is in the UK. The unhinged theatrics of going to pride just to drag around a life-sized crucifix (on *wheels* lolololol) just reads very.... *American* to me. I'm so sorry that this is part of the "culture" we've been exporting these days. But it is pretty hilarious in a context where the wingnuts aren't also toting AR-15's.


kbrookoyn17

One man is loving his life. The other is pretending to carry a burden and poorly cosplaying a biblical fairytale while crying to his pastor on the phone.


one-big-empty-space

Look at the smile on that cute lil old man’s face! You can really tell who is having the better time lmao


Gr8daze

I love how they always have a wheel on the cross to make it easier to tote. Just like their fictional Jesus had. So authentic.


Cautious_Option9544

He isn't Christ, he's a pretentious Jackass that shouts slurs in a Gregg's parking lot


BEWMarth

The little wheel on the cross is just too fucking hilarious. Jesus looking at that and roasting these losers in heaven.

This man's energy is immaculate. I want to be him when I grow up


Embarrassed_Read_979

YAAASS. Love seeing examples of older folk being in or supporting the community. Not every old person is a biggot, fortunately.


zorbathegrate

Lol his cross has a fixking wheel. The perfect analogy for those fools. All symbolism no understanding.


bethaboob

My initial thought was this was a nice change, thinking they were protesting for the same thing together in different ways. Why can’t we all just be friends. 😔

They're like "THE CROSS WAS SO HEAVY A BURDEN NO ONE COULD DARE BARE IT!" Then casually walk around with one on a wheel drinking a smokachino while eating a cell phone pretending to be martyrs. Pick a lane.


GreatValuePositivity

lazy bitch can't even carry his cross without a wheel. The irony is so thick here it's incredible.


Southern_Coat_7466

I want to carefully share this, as someone who studied the Bible and therefore more accurately the New Testament and the events up to and during the Crucifixion, I am as said He(Jesus) actually carried a heavy wooden top portion of what they would attach him on, not to mention he was beaten, and the crowds spit etc. Now if Christians want to speak with his words, he clearly warned what happens in bearing a false witness, no where does he say, please mock my Crucifixion etc, nor does he specifically say anything about Homosexality, nor anyone who is.


Decmk3

Can’t even be bothered to carry it properly


[deleted]

they think we're fucked up for wearing harnesses, my brother in christ you are carrying a bondage apparatus


[deleted]

Take your cross off of that wheel you pussy Jesus carried one twice as thick up a fucking mountain If that jacked hunk can do it, so can you If you can't walk the walk, don't talk the talk


hoptians

isn't that pretentious as a christian to do like jesus did ?

Just think jesus had two dad, and turned out fine.

That’s George Montague. He died recently- last year, I think. They named a bus after him. [If you scroll down, you can see his bus, with his sign on it.](https://apple.news/Ad9m7EJ2UT0ataBdFAAKeFQ) Am reasonably sure his husband marches on his behalf now.

Pov: You don’t want to *actually* carry a cross, because thats too much work, so you just strap a fucking wheel to it.

I love the little training wheel on the Christian nationalist's cross. It's adorable.


nonbinarybreadstick

look at that “christian” with a wheel at the end of his cross. if he were a real christian he wouldn’t have a wheel on it and fought hard like jesus did. fucking poser
