My wife came to me and said “nothing can prepare you for our son’s Easter drawing.”
Reader, she was correct.
Honestly, come to think of it all major religion have a lot of focus on death and horrible suffering. Makes sense considering coping with those is a major selling point.
Sure but idk I can't think of any other religions whose primary symbol is a device that was used to torture people to death over a period of days
Primary symbol, sure. But when I was a kid in a Jewish Sunday school we were taught to perform a cheery reenactment of a guy getting hanged and eat pastries symbolizing his ears.
I'd cheerily reenact bad people getting killed too (especially for hamentashen) — seems a lot healthier than having a whole religion centered around a dude getting tortured to death "on your behalf" two thousand years ago lol. I get your point, just that Christianity's fixation on it leads to some super fucked up attitudes and beliefs
My first thought when I saw this was "hey, I could probably draw something better than that."
Then I read that a child drew it.
