    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.

      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)_/¯

        Wrong

        Matthew 4:20:69

        “And lo, Jesus tried to explain that the cross would be much easier to carry if it has wheels yet the Roman said ‘lol, lmao’”

      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.

    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 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.

      “bearing a cross” is a phrase meant to refer to persisting through hardship by comparing your struggles to Jesus being made to carry the cross for his crucifixion. (Jesus had to carry his own cross to be crucified from the place of the trial to the place of execution.) However, this person installed wheels onto the cross to make it easier to carry. This defeating the purpose of the metaphor. Jesus certainly did not have wheels on his cross.

      I think dragging the cross is a metaphor because it’s heavy but this fellas got the wheels
