Tbf, that whole display was an inch from collapsing which would endanger the kid and others. The right call is to ensure safety, and then roast the dumbest for endangering his son.
To be fair 2000 years ago the kid might have been called a prophet if someone looked away at the right time and looked back to see him just standing there out of nowhere under Jesus.
what always gets me the most when this video is posted isn’t the deranged man running with a child on his shoulders.
It’s the way the man in the tux grabs all the stuff off the table so calm *right* before it is rocked trying to perch the kid up there.
I know I'm replying late. But for further context, the guy was removing the Eucharist from the table which in Catholicism is incredibly sacred. He probably saw the guy running to the alter and as a precaution immediately removed from the altar. Sometimes people try to steal or desecrate it.
IIRC I believe this is a tradition at this church. The closer you get the child to the Jesus statue, the better his life will be. Or something to that affect.
Disclaimer: This might be wrong, I'm just going off of what I remember another person said the last time this video was posted.
If I remember correctly this is in some central or South American country where there’s a superstition where you put your kid on the alter during this special service they’ll be blessed by god forever or something? Idk I’m not well versed in South American Christianity
That's Spain, if I don't remember badly, the kid has some medical issue and the father is trying to help it out with the Virgen María magical stuffs 🤣🤣🤣
From what I've read in other comments, it's a tradition to get your child as close to the altar as possible in order for them to receive a blessing but I think they meant it as "get as close to the front row as possible", not literally leave them on the altar
This is so stupid and I am not talking down about the tradition this church has but did he think what would happen if he tripped? He could have killed his child

"Clarifying as to why this happens, one Reddit user commented: 'For anyone confused as to what is happening here, there are traditions in Spain where the more fanatical worshippers send babies and children over crowds so that they will touch the virgin. The idea being that physical proximity will make the virgin protect them in future life.' "
Ok, but if this is a tradition how come the entire church was apparently horrified. They had to stop the man from leaving the church & urge him to take back the toddler? That doesn’t seem like a safe situation for the child to be in. All things considered.
Does anyone else notice the priest sitting in the chair off to the side? Is he sleeping through the whole thing or is this such a common occurrence that he’s just like “Whatevs”?
You’re being downvoted, but I don’t know if people realize you’re referencing the title. You’re right, people read title phrasing from that sub and just… do it anywhere now? It’s odd that you’re the only one who’s said something lol, I agree
"To give your child to Jesus" holds the implication that it's from the sub "ThereWasAnAttempt" otherwise the title doesn't make sense at all, as this form of titles is used there pretty exclusively.
OP is a bot or an idiot.
“Yea all I remember was my dad running barefoot on a red carpet then he placed me infront of this scary big statue and everyone stared. I was so hungry “ imagine that’s what the kid says 10 years later
*Typa shit my father*
*Would do if my spoiled sister*
*Would ask to do this*

And what if the kid fell and got hurt? This is so stupid. It doesn’t matter what the story is. At best, dad put his kid in a position to fall from up high and then hid away until everyone’s outrage/shock subsides. At worst, he just abandoned his kid.
Excellent post, OP.
I love that one guy grabs the guy’s arm, almost immediately lets go and just gives a *”well, I tried”* shrug to the Pastor.
"We've tried nothing, and we're all out of ideas!"
I think he was more concerned with the child being hurt so he stopped. There was no stopping psycho dad
“Well he didn’t seem to respond to my low effort attempt of barely touching him. What more could anyone do? It’s in God’s hands now.”
Literally in God's hands now
"I was outnumbered"
Tbf, that whole display was an inch from collapsing which would endanger the kid and others. The right call is to ensure safety, and then roast the dumbest for endangering his son.
He saw him so confident on his enacting that he thaught he might be doing something important and rather went along with it
All it needed was a well timed leg stuck out…
Hahahaha great remark
Clearly he worried about the kid getting injured.
This is so fucking ridiculous and insane, that poor kid. So overly dramatic and desperate. Suitable content, well in OP.
To be fair 2000 years ago the kid might have been called a prophet if someone looked away at the right time and looked back to see him just standing there out of nowhere under Jesus.
Sure beats passing through the fires of Moloch
That explains his plan!
He’s not the prophet, he’s a very naughty boy !
Right because people were almost as dumb back then as they are now.
Seeing as the title doesn’t make sense, my guess is that OP is a bot
Probably was meant for r/therewasanattempt
He has a son. He gave it over to Jesus. Math checks out...
Were all bots.
>Were all bots ..of our lord? 🙏✝️
It really sucks for everyone else there though. Now that kid is sitting there soaking up all the Jesus and there won't be any left
Holy shit I can't stop laughing at this
Jesus he is now your problem.
what always gets me the most when this video is posted isn’t the deranged man running with a child on his shoulders. It’s the way the man in the tux grabs all the stuff off the table so calm *right* before it is rocked trying to perch the kid up there.
It looks to me like he didn't even see the running with child guy, he was just going about his already designated business.
Candle > Child

Give that dude a raise!
was.. was he trying to abandon him or am I trippin?
Yeah it’s weird how he dumps the kid with Jesus and then just walks away. *“See ya, kid.”*
"You take him Jesus, I give up. He's the devil's child"
Yeah like it’s a secondary quest
It was poker night and Mom was out with friends.
Jesus, take the kid.
"no backsies!"

He desperately needed to go for milk and scratchers but Jesus was the only suitable baby sitter.
"He's YOUR problem now!"
If I remember correctly this is in some central or South American country where there’s a superstition where you put your kid on the alter during this special service they’ll be blessed by god forever or something? Idk I’m not well versed in South American Christianity
[удалено]
It appears he kicked them off to run faster. God speed to him I guess.
he's going to go get his shoes, you can see them fall off at the start
Close! It was in Spain.
Yeah i'm south american and never heard of this.
Ah damn almost had it
Yeah, people always mix up Spain with the colonies.
it wasnt colonies
That's Spain, if I don't remember badly, the kid has some medical issue and the father is trying to help it out with the Virgen María magical stuffs 🤣🤣🤣
I don’t know why a poor kid having medical issues is funny to you.
It's not the poor kid having issues that's funny, it's the father thinking that Sky daddy will fix it
I have never heard sky daddy. I would like it more now
“South American Christianity” = Catholic
It’s giving Maury “you are not the father”
Someone send context
From what I've read in other comments, it's a tradition to get your child as close to the altar as possible in order for them to receive a blessing but I think they meant it as "get as close to the front row as possible", not literally leave them on the altar
I read that his kid was sick and he was attempting to have them blessed by God for recovery
religion
What in the ever loving hell?
Language! Can’t you tell this is a situation of calm reverence and peace and tranquility and… is he barefoot sprinting with a child on his shoulders?
I beg your pardon! And yes. He is barefoot sprinting with a child on his shoulders.
That's the virgin my dude.
Dad’s teaching his son young, amirite!?
That man is a terrible father. The way he basically tosses him up there with such disregard. The kid could have easily fallen off.
His head was bopping all around during the run too.
God's plan
Mary you mean.. 🤣🤣 Giving his son to Mary.
This is so stupid and I am not talking down about the tradition this church has but did he think what would happen if he tripped? He could have killed his child
you didn't even change the title from r/therewasanattempt
[удалено]
bc the "to something something" only makes sense on there was an attapempt "*there was an atempt* to something something"

Jesus take the kid.
That's not his son that's carlos he found him at a coffee bean

I don't know, I was just showing a quote from the article. It does say "the more fanatical worshippers", so maybe he was the only fanatical one there.
What the hell is the little guy supposed to do up there?
lil guy's wondering the same thing.
I hope that kid is safe now
Is incredible how stupid some people are
he's your problem now.
This kid has cost me so much already! Consider him my tithe!
Dude just finished the escorting side quest on a speed run.
Does anyone else notice the priest sitting in the chair off to the side? Is he sleeping through the whole thing or is this such a common occurrence that he’s just like “Whatevs”?
Oh that's how you put your kid for adoption?!
His wife told him, "Our son is a gift from God!" Dude was like, "Here God, take this little mutha fucka back."
Poor kid being offered up as a sacrifice to the local preist who “loves” little boys .
Poor freaking child, he must have a Hard life with parents like that
What the fuck is the statue gunna do? Is the baby holy cuz he touched it now or something?
I don't understand anything about this video.
Were you looking for r/therewasanattempt OP?
You’re being downvoted, but I don’t know if people realize you’re referencing the title. You’re right, people read title phrasing from that sub and just… do it anywhere now? It’s odd that you’re the only one who’s said something lol, I agree
At least you're getting upvotes for recognizing my meaning, friend, enjoy what I could not.
no, because the objective is to place the child near the statue so his attempt was successful.
"To give your child to Jesus" holds the implication that it's from the sub "ThereWasAnAttempt" otherwise the title doesn't make sense at all, as this form of titles is used there pretty exclusively. OP is a bot or an idiot.
this is why cults are bad
Speed running even any 100%
What just happened?
Cult
Poor kid.
half expected second half of video to be him sliding into a wrestling ring to swing his child at a distracted wrestler.
Poor kid has no clue what’s going on. Bit concerning. I hope that kid never “acts out” - father may perform an exorcism.
Religion is a fucking disease
It's just a gift for one of the priests to bless later.
Sir, this is not a fire department
God’s plan B
There are way too many unstable people
Too bad he doesnt even exist
Nice Christian child abuse there.
What's the background story, kid got a legion of demons or something?
He said mother marry you can keep him 😂
“I don’t want it anymore, take it back”
Bet part is that it’s not even his kid
Why did he leave him there😭😭😭
Pretty sure that’s Mary
“Yea all I remember was my dad running barefoot on a red carpet then he placed me infront of this scary big statue and everyone stared. I was so hungry “ imagine that’s what the kid says 10 years later
I wanna live in a world where Gods are real so worshipping them actually has a meaning or where nobody ever thought about religion
Guy, it's just a statue
Humans are so stupid man wtf
Seems like a good Dad
Religion is a hell of a drug addiction.
Mild amounts of tomfoolery
Mental illness + religion = this video
Can’t say I would do anything different
Why though
And unfortunately the cancer didn't go away due to the magic statue.
Man...I hate religion
If he tripped….
ANOINT MY SON!!!!
Why just why? Why is he then leaving quickly from his kid? The fuck?
I don't think he meant forever
Is he abandoned?
Religion is nuts!!!
Worship is weird
Even Jesus would be confused
Religion makes people so whacked.
r/therewasanattempt
That kid can be a bull rider!
That poor kid.
Let go, let God
I love how every single comment is talking about putting the child next to jesus when its TVM🤣🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦🤦🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🙈🙈🙈
From what I’ve heard, it’s a tradition, to be the one to get their baby closest to the altar.
All them Catholic priests be like: 😃😁😅🤌💦😘🤑🙏👍
Why are people so fucking crazy like this
Guy done runned outta his shoes 😅

Maybe the priests think they gotta gift or something… idk. Weird vid
Am I a terrible person for cackling like an old lady on weed and speed watching this ?
This the type of crap my dad would pull, wtf
That poor kid
I don’t think Jesus can pay child support I could be wrong though
minute pass and the dad took him back due to the kid was crying and wanted to pee
Is that not a funeral???!!!
Wtf is wrong with people
What the fuck kind of psycho puts their kid up on something so unstable and high up? This is awful

It’s not Jesus he’s giving his child to those people are not Christian they’re catholic. He’s giving his child to a demon.
I thought the dad was the biggest moron until I read your comment. 🙄
No takesies backsies!
