De-Motivational

Seeing jeebus walking with his cross made me wonder, how much did those things weigh? I found some interesting information. One page says about 110 pounds. http://www.chacha.com/question/how-much-...ross-weigh Fuck, that's only 40 pounds less than I weigh. No way I'd be capable of doing anything but dragging that, and even then only a short distance. Then there's this... Quote:It is generally agreed that Jesus did not carry a cross, but carried the crossbeam. Wood was expensive and they often reused the post when crucifying people. Nevertheless, a beam long enough to handle outstretched arms and hold the body weight would likely weigh over 40 lbs. A difficult carry for a healthy man for several miles, let alone one who had been whipped and flogged for several hours.http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/721890 Fucking right! That shit's expensive! We'd re-use the cross beams if it weren't for hygiene issues.... But we also have this... Quote:It is not possible to know exactly how much this particular cross weighed, since this is not recorded. Based on studies of Roman crucifixion, it is generally agreed that the patibulum (the crosspiece, which was what prisoners carried) would likely weigh between 70 and 120 pounds. The entire cross would weight on the order of 300 lb.http://snippets.com/how-much-did-the-cro...arried.htm Damn. Whatever happens in this world, crucifixion was definitely a shit way to go. Thanks to Cinjin for making it more 'sig space' friendly.
I'm just going to leave this here for you to ponder
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
I'm going to jump off a cliff and make an assumption that's supposed to be the biblical 'Daniel' in that picture.
If that's the case, I love how he's wearing socks and construction boots.... Just about fits with all the other inconsistencies of Christianity.

The weird thing is that he appears to be otherwise totally naked. I'm wondering if this picture was from the artist who did all those other pictures used in the "fuck off Jesus" meme. It was probably either in his private collection not meant to be publicly shared, or else he just let it be shared with the homoerotic subtext.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Happy Dec 25 to our resident mathematicians...
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite. Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment. Quote:Some people deserve hell. I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong. |
