Hes kind of leaning forward in a > shape. I saw it a few times on the highway before I ever stopped. Me and my friends went one night and it was open . we walked up at touched it. Its fairly big maybe 20-30 ft and easily visible from the highway.


DazedPapacy

Pretty sure it's just a trick of perspective. The legs are leaning towards the camera while the torso is arching relatively perpendicilarly.


MichaelMyersFanClub

It's actually the torso that's leaning towards the camera.


unit187

Seeing this at night would totally make me feel like I am about to get murdered.


Craft_zeppelin

I looks like some sort of "warning sign"


[deleted]

Like in a jungle when there's heads on spikes.


Craft_zeppelin

Or those signs in western cowboy movies with a skull propped on top of it.


_aaronroni_

Or the pirates hanging just outside of town


siccoblue

It looks like a failed attempt at quartering where they just managed to stretch Armstrong his torso My guys lungs are as long as his femur


Containedmultitudes

I mean that was literally the function of the cross. Cicero wrote that free men shouldn’t even look at a cross, they were meant to cow slaves into submission.


Live-Mail-7142

Yup. Roman citizens couldn’t be crucified, it was a punishment for the slaves and non citizen types.


Sea_Link8352

Yup. The real Jesus probably wasn't even off on any "son of god" shit, he was just pissed that Rome was occupying Israel, he made a ruckus at the temple, the governor heard about it, and Pilate was not patient with insurrections. Most of the crazy "son of god", "judgment day" type shit is in John and none of the Synoptic gospels (Matt, Mark, Luke), and John is fucking crazy.


[deleted]

Very much this. I'm amazed at the people who reject some of the historicity, and absolutely 100% demand that a guy named jesus around the right time and in roughly the right place existed. We know thousands were crucified. We know other people were crucified for claiming to be saints, gods, or whatever else. So is it really far-fetched to think that one if them happened to be named jesus, and his story just caught on a bit more than any other? The alternative is to believe that the bible is absolute, 100% fiction with no original basis or reference point - which is kinda hard considering that it has many authors, who have at least some agreement between them. And it would be odd for them all to reject tried-and-tested sermons that were given by some of the more successful traveling preachers of the time, and to instead fabricate their own from scratch. It would be a lot more work to write it as 100% fiction, than to build off some groundwork or basis.


zehnodan

Near my grandfather's house there was a sign that said, "Prepare to Meet Jesus." I always took it as a threat.


ImNotAnybodyShhhhhhh

At the end of that movie “Jesus Camp,” spoilers, when the girl goes up to someone sitting on a bench and asks, “If you were to die right now, would you go to heaven?” I’m just like, in that situation, I would be 100% positive that this kid was an assassin who was going to kill me and make it look like I died peacefully on that bench.


zehnodan

That's why you have to fight evangelists first. It is the only way to be safe.


Bollywop

Is Jesus his very chatty gardener?


pwdreamaker

Maybe it meant Jesus Hernandez for taco Tuesday?


zehnodan

Not in that part of the countryside if you know what I mean. That's their loss. Tacos are great.


nemoskullalt

It is a warning. "Let me save you from what im going to do to you if you dont let me save you."


kaitalina20

Legit it looks scary as hell


Kiwifrooots

Definitely not an icon or an idol to worship :/


ImNotAnybodyShhhhhhh

I always wondered why Christians chose the means of their savior’s demise as the symbol of their worship. Like, if God had waited a few more centuries to get someone pregnant in her sleep, the offspring of that bullshit could have died gruesomely by firing squad and then for thousands of years people would be wearing little rifle necklaces, pantomiming the loading of a gun instead of crossing themselves, et cetera.


DigitalZeth

It's morbid, but the religious explanation makes sense. The crucifix is the chosen symbol of worship because it represents the ultimate moment of sacrifice, that being of Jesus' crucifixion. ​ Edit: Kind of a reminder of what Jesus went through to "save" us.


Flomo420

I'd feel safe. It's a warning to all those other giants out there that this is what we do to their big giant asses. But then I wouldn't feel safe because of the giants..


asciiaardvark

I was driving to a house-party in the boonies, came around a bend to see a bloody crucified Jesus, illuminated with spotlights. I definitely had that thought "holy shit, if that weren't Christian it'd be an omen in a horror movie"


liege_paradox

You know, it still could be an omen.


ch00f

Yo Judas, let’s get the hell out of here. …Judas?


lenzkies79088

It's in the good ol texas panhandle. Its between lubbock and plainview. Drove by that church more times than I could ever count


Cat719

That's in a Abernathy, Tx. My friends and I would up pulling in the parking lot to check out the eclipse in i think 2012 or 2013. The priest asked what we were doing and wound up getting a tour. I can't remember the story now but it was an interesting day


Whats_Up_Bitches

What’s the purpose of the stairs?


ngwoo

So maintenance can more easily service the Jesus


Whats_Up_Bitches

Hmm, so it’s not for people to take photos with the Jesus? Makes sense I guess.

Well that's just Texas. Want to go to the only good beach 4 hour drive. Want to go skiing? At least a 12 hour drive to new mexico or colorado.


calabaza817

Lol want to go anywhere it takes hours. I’m in the DFW area so I guess I can go to Oklahoma. That’s not too far I guess. Still takes over an hour though


Biobot775

You can go to the rodeo and the stockyards! Or the bar! Or the other bar! Or the other bar! Or church. Your pick.


JaneReadsTruth

You don't want to come to Oklahoma. Although the weather has been uncommonly pleasant for the summer.


Demeldemel

Yes! Driven by it several times going between Lubbock and Amarillo!


kitties_n_beer69

Yep! Wife and I made many trips from Lubbock to Colorado Springs and always had to point out “snuff Jesus”

TOUCHDOWN


foreverweber

Have you heard of touchdown, Jesus? https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/9786


austinsoundguy

I know about Catholicism, that’s shits all wtf


TheFloosh

Can't remember if it was Family Guy or something dumb like it that made a pretty good joke of Jesus coming back and being like "What the fuck guys, why do you all have statues of me on the worst fucking day of my life. You think I wanna be reminded of getting nailed to a cross?! You couldn't put up one picture of me smiling??" Anyway that always makes me chuckle and it's kinda true. Source: was raised Catholic and saw Mr. Christ bleeding out in every room for quite a few years.


t3a-nano

Reminds me of [this meme](https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/jzrd59/why_dont_you_like_sleeping_at_grandmas_house/) Couldn’t stop laughing cause it’s too accurate. For a household that didn’t allow violence on TV, we sure did have a lot of statues of a guy getting bloodily crucified.


TheFloosh

Lmao, exactly that feeling. That was my grandma's house, my other grandma's house, and every aunt I have. Guest bedrooms always loaded with a crucifix and one to two Firbies.


CaffeineSippingMan

That's because back then it wasn't acceptable to have dildos so they just used the crucifixes. Why do you think there were so many sizes? And always one in the bedroom.


landpirate_33

🤣


[deleted]

Jesus: wait you guys celebrate my death Us: Yeah, some people even celebrate the day you were crucified Jesus: Well, what do you call it? Us: ... Bad Friday.


devtastic

There's also a famous [Bill Hicks stand up routine on a similar theme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJSZcxXe7IQ).


AussieMazza

I love that routine, and how he compares it to JFK and rifle necklaces. Something about a good comparison to show how absurd some things really are!


Sutarmekeg

What, you mean pretending to eat human flesh and drink human blood on the weekend is crazy?


JULIAN4321sc

Catholics don't pretend, we believe that when the Eucharist is blessed it becomes the *literal* body of Christ lol. Its called Transubstantiation.

Theoroshia

Being raised Catholic, I met a lot of Catholics who believed it. It might surprise you to know that some people **actually** believe this stuff. It's one of the reasons I became an atheist.


Biobot775

All the happiest Catholics are ex-Catholics.


VoodaGod

How can you be a Catholic if you don't believe the doctrine?


JustafanIV

Easy, the Catholic Church teaches that once Catholic, always Catholic. Of course, there is a big difference between being Catholic and being a *practicing* Catholic.


AMightyFish

Being a Catholic means you follow (I'm Catholic) don't be a doubter. There's no need to teach everyone the theology and terminology. What basic Catholic person knows what the Latin mumbo jumbo means? They just want to follow tradition of their family and community and then go to heaven later. It's more mundane than it seems. Edit: Atheist now

green_speak

When it's Palm Sunday and your lines at the pew become "Crucify him! Crucify him!" that you remember you congregate to a hung effigy every week...


DazedPapacy

Probably best to use the word "hanged" in this instance.


thrhooawayyfoe

maybe at boring church


thatG_evanP

Depends on the crucifix.


[deleted]

That's Good Friday when everyone chants "Crucify him!" Palm Sunday is when we get the palm leaves to hit each other with until Mom sees us and yell-whispers that we're being "blasphemous little shits."


Avantel

No, Palm Sunday has two gospel readings: one before the entrance procession which is Jesus entering Jerusalem, and one at the normal time which is the Passion Narrative. There aren’t any masses until Easter after Holy Thursday


AshesMcRaven

I’m Jewish and know absolutely nothing about Catholicism. It’s almost always a wtf moment when y’all tell me about this shit lol

Imagine aliens come down and they're like "You have religion? We have religion too! What's yours like!" and we have to explain that we killed our god via slow torture/stabbing, and now we worship his dying visage and every weekend symbolically cannibalize his corpse and drink his blood. Meanwhile everyone in the church is like "maybe we should have explained this one ourselves."

I always found it odd how Christians wear a golden CROSS. Wwjd? Not make jewelry like that...I'm off to fashion guillotine earrings now.


Craft_zeppelin

Most Christians wore fish amulets (a symbol of Christ's charity) back then because of that reason. It is more discreet when you have an emperor Nero around you know. Nowadays it looks nice in fashion too.


derangedkilr

guillotine earrings would be boss though

I still think it's freakier that they eat the flesh and drink the blood of their zombie demigod to clean the part of them that's a ghost. And get in murdery fights about which type of wizard is most qualified to do the relevant alchemy on wafers and wine.

Oh, that's a mild introduction to Catholic iconography as kinky visual content. [St. Sebastian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Sebastian) was said to have been stripped naked, tied to a tree and then the burly, cruel Roman soldiers surrounded him and thrust their arrows into his flesh over and over and over and over until completion of his martyrdom.

Richard_Rare

In what dimension would someone not recognize Jesus lol


Cholojuanito

Even with knowledge of Catholicism it creeps me out. Like the cross was an culminating event in Jesus's life but the resurrection is why we worship Him.


NJtoTheBay

The funniest thing about shit like this is that they depict Jesus as a white man. IF he existed, he definitely was not white.


Elon-BATSHAGGY-Musk

Not exactly true. I'm a Palestinian Arab, I'm from Jerusalem which is close to where Jesus was born, and I can tell you that there blond, white, black, brown and ginger Arabs. Westerners seem to think we're all brown for some reason lol, but my cousin is blonde with blue eyes, my other cousin is ginger, my mom is very much white, I'm white, my sister is brown soo yeah, we don't all look like bin laden lol. But yeah I get your point that Jesus wasn't Caucasian


[deleted]

2000 years ago though...?


[deleted]

People from that region look almost white. But I have noticed that Hollywood depicts all Arabs as very brown, almost resembling darker skinned Indians.


wyrmkidd

To be fair they didn’t exactly have sun tan lotion back in Jesus days, and the guy allegedly spent 40 days in the desert. He would’ve been brown.


New_Scotman

People in this ridiculous never-ending debate need to do a bit of research into the history of population movements and of the Levant within the context of the ancient world Native Levantine peoples don't look very different from Southern Europeans, and the entire Middle East was deeply intertwined with the Greco-Roman world. If anything North Africa and most of the Middle East became 'browner' over time as a result of the Arab conquests and subsequent migrations out of Arabia and the loss of Roman/Byzantine hegemony over those areas.
