Peculiar Lamentation

[Succubus]

I think maybe some of the worst icons in xtianity are the torture porn figures.

Look at the walls and stained glass of an old church and what do you see depicted? Pain agony and death. Look at the congregation, families with their kids age four years and up, staring at those horrors with expressions of sometimes bemusement, or mostly terror. That was a major part of my catholic 'education'.
There has to be something profoundly wrong with homo sapiens that so many of us are so easily corrupted this way. What a great pity there's no hell for the priesthood to burn in.
