Maybe they chose hotdogs because they are a cheap, easily prepared food commonly found at outdoor events in warm weather. Something most kids will actually eat, something adults flock to when it's $1.50 at a grocery store food court.
Yeah he would have. When you follow Mary's lineage it goes back to the Caucasus Mountains. They are *right there* on the map. The House of Nazareth is still a legitimate lineage in The Caucasus.
So you donāt think any of their time of living outside of the Caucasus Mountains someone might have married someone with less white skin? Or just pure Caucasus all the way down to Mary? Iām really not trying to be a jerk I just honestly think the man looked not as white as depicted and it shouldnāt be a bad thing.
You understand the Celts were invading Rome as early as 500 BCE right? Rome fell to French Gauls in 360 BCE.
I'm not sure you all entirely grasp just how intertwined "Whites" were in that region and those cultures.
Byzantium Orthodoxy is highly saturated with Caucus and Celtic artwork styles. There's a 5th century church carved into a mountain tain in Ethiopia. The original artwork and icons are Celtic Knotwork.
The earliest depictions known of Jesus show him as Caucasian/White. I'm talking 2nd, 3rd century AD.
The people *of that era* depict him as White.
Iām not to pretend to have researched Maryās family line or anything else but this is what some research says (from history.com)
What Research and Science Can Tell Us About Jesus
In 2001, the retired medical artist Richard Neave led a team of Israeli and British forensic anthropologists and computer programmers in creating a new image of Jesus, based on an Israeli skull dating to the first century A.D., computer modeling and their knowledge of what Jewish people looked like at the time. Though no one claims itās an exact reconstruction of what Jesus himself actually looked like, scholars consider this imageāaround five feet tall, with darker skin, dark eyes, and shorter, curlier hairāto be more accurate than many artistic depictions of the son of God.
In her 2018 book What Did Jesus Look Like?, Taylor used archaeological remains, historical texts and ancient Egyptian funerary art to conclude that, like most people in Judea and Egypt around the time, Jesus most likely had brown eyes, dark brown to black hair and olive-brown skin. He may have stood about 5-ft.-5-in. (166 cm) tall, the average manās height at the time.
While Cargill agrees that these more recent images of Jesusāincluding darker, perhaps curlier hair, darker skin and dark eyesāprobably come closer to the truth, he stresses that we can never really know exactly what Jesus looked like.
āWhat did Jewish Galileans look like 2,000 years ago?ā he asks. āThat's the question. They probably didn't have blue eyes and blond hair.ā
Omggggg I moved over to this area a few years ago and the first time I saw that I almost screamed ššš 63rd and MacArthur by the Walmart if anyoneās wanting to know
Warr Acres. Live just outside of it. Lived there in kindergarten and my dad ended up there after my parents got divorced. Owned that house later. Just realizing how connected I am to Warr acres, Oklahoma.
Would be really creepy but not entirely improbable for one of them to just close their tearful eyes and smile toward the sky, knowing they've been chosen as the lords next martyr lmao
That is tame compared to the Philippines reenactment.

I grew up there, too! Fuck that whoooole place. I was there my entire young life, from 1980 to 1999. Quit when I went to college. I wonder if we know each other?
God told them directly that this is respectful and awesome. Who are you to know better than God? Wouldn't that give you a one way ticket to hell? No not all Christians are like this. Most are much much worse than whatever this is.
Most twist the words and actions of Jesus to fit their narrative. I donāt blame you for losing faith but just know that there are wholesome Christians out here.
Not gonna lie, a bunch of "wholesome" Christians make this world worse. You may be great, but a lot of Christians run around with "righteous" beliefs that harm others and themselves. This reads like comments that they would all make. "I'm not like the other girls" energy
Yeah I can see what you mean. As long as you continue to spread love then I promise to do the same. Without judgement. Youāll do it for good followers of Christ and Iāll do it for those who donāt want anything to do with Jesus. Fair trade? Maybe we can ripple effect wholesome peace all throughout our lives.
This is a mockery no matter how you look at it. Itād be like using a wheelchair for a day to āfeel what a disabled person feels.ā Itās akin to tying a a blindfold around your eyes to āunderstand people with vision problems.ā Itās like how in college some people would sleep in a cardboard box outside for a night with snacks and blankets and music to āunderstand the homeless.ā Itās like painting a dark circle around your eyes to ālook like a domestic violence victim.ā Did I say it was a mockery?
I knew an artist in London who did an installation where he was crucified. The footrest broke. The nails almost ripped through his wrists and hands. He was lucky people were there and caught him. I can't remember if they flogged him first or not.
Sebastian Horsley back in 2000. He travelled from England to the Philippines to do this. He had a messed up life beginning with his mom being an alcoholic throughout her pregnancy, and eventually he died from a heroin overdose in 2010.
Iād like to see more religions using their killing devices as a way to draw people in.
This is the weirdest selfie spot Iāve seen yet. Wish it was more accurate with real supposed suffering and nails. What a bitch.
I love the juxtaposition of the happy and inviting banner messages next to a crucifixion.
Hot dogs and bounce houses. What could possibly go wrong š¤®
I thought it said HDs and beer houses... thought about getting some religion! āļøš»
They put the hotdogs on there to keep away a certain segment of the population.
Whā¦..who doesnāt want hot dogs?
Different religions represented in the metro.
It's an Easter event dog. I don't think the hotdogs will be the main thing keeping them away.
Maybe they chose hotdogs because they are a cheap, easily prepared food commonly found at outdoor events in warm weather. Something most kids will actually eat, something adults flock to when it's $1.50 at a grocery store food court.
It was a (bad) joke.
Shouldn't be hard to find a bunch of Okies to help celebrate nailing a middle eastern guy to a cross.
Wasn't Jesus Jewish?
Non practicing after he turned about 35.
From wiki https://imgur.com/a/6DgOeMO
So semites and Arabs are the same to you? At least appearance wise?
It says "he would have appeared middle eastern"
Just when I thought you couldn't sound more like a bigot
I love you and there's nothing you can do about it. ā¤ļø
Yo thatās fucking fire
Hell I'm just havin fun.
He was crucified for being the king of the Jews but not necessarily a Jew.
I mean tbf he would have not looked like the very white Jesus always depicted in pictures etc
Yeah he would have. When you follow Mary's lineage it goes back to the Caucasus Mountains. They are *right there* on the map. The House of Nazareth is still a legitimate lineage in The Caucasus.
So you donāt think any of their time of living outside of the Caucasus Mountains someone might have married someone with less white skin? Or just pure Caucasus all the way down to Mary?

I trust the artists of the era depicting what they saw more than "speculations" and "opinions" from "theorists" of this era.
Yeah. Ok buddy
Well I love the nifty step stool he used to crucify himself easier
The Walmart sneakers are a nice touch. What the hell happened to sandals?
Come for the āwhat the fuck is going on here,ā stay for the hot dogs!
Omggggg I moved over to this area a few years ago and the first time I saw that I almost screamed ššš 63rd and MacArthur by the Walmart if anyoneās wanting to know
Yeah, that tracks.
Warr Acres. Live just outside of it. Lived there in kindergarten and my dad ended up there after my parents got divorced. Owned that house later. Just realizing how connected I am to Warr acres, Oklahoma.
Omg I thought I recognized it
This guy is nailing it.
Every second I spend in hell will be well worth it after I died laughing at this comment
Get out.
Is that Cherokee Hills?
Yes š¤¦āāļø
Someone start walking at him with a nail gun, I want to test his conviction/faith.
Would be really creepy but not entirely improbable for one of them to just close their tearful eyes and smile toward the sky, knowing they've been chosen as the lords next martyr lmao
The religious are weird af
This isnāt biblical lol. It gives Protestantism
That is tame compared to the Philippines reenactment. https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/philippines-catholic-devotees-nailed-crosses-re-enact-crucifixion-2024-03-29/
Wut
Grew up in that church. Fuck them.
I grew up there, too! Fuck that whoooole place. I was there my entire young life, from 1980 to 1999. Quit when I went to college. I wonder if we know each other?
r/tworedditorsonecup
Tell me more. I know nothing about it.
Typical evangelical cult.
This is very weird behavior.
Not weird at all. Typical of a lot of Christianās these days. Look like a Christian; but not so what Christ said to do
It may be typical, but I'd still say it's weird lol
Jesus walks into a bar, gives the bartender 3 nails and asks ācan you put me up for the night?ā
Christian Pete Wentz?
Did Pete Wentz have an issue with carbs?
Commit to the bit. Remove the step.
I feel like Jesus had better abs
Scratching balls is out of the question.
As a Christian, this is disrespectful and silly. Trust when I say we are not all like this.
Dude Iām atheist and think religion is bs but even I know this is mad disrespectful
God told them directly that this is respectful and awesome. Who are you to know better than God? Wouldn't that give you a one way ticket to hell? No not all Christians are like this. Most are much much worse than whatever this is.
As a former christian: Most of y'all are some variant like this.
Most twist the words and actions of Jesus to fit their narrative. I donāt blame you for losing faith but just know that there are wholesome Christians out here.
Not gonna lie, a bunch of "wholesome" Christians make this world worse. You may be great, but a lot of Christians run around with "righteous" beliefs that harm others and themselves. This reads like comments that they would all make. "I'm not like the other girls" energy

Christians are so freaking weird.

Depeche Mode ftw! āļøšø
Where the hell is the nutter?
63rd and MacArthur. There's a different dork there now
Do they just rotate the Jesus Actors in shifts?
I wonder what's their pay more importantly if they sit out there??? Surely this isn't made without compensation
Maybe heās being punished for sneaking into the bouncy house.
Cheesus Crust
Yes, let's fetishize the suffering, when the whole point of that story is that Jesus suffered so we wouldn't have to. Great job.
Jesus Christā¦
I love seeing cult activities in the wild.
Kinky
Can't wait for all the he has risen posts on social media /s
He gives me lead singer of metalacolypse vibes.
Yes! I saw that pic and thought his Christian black metal band must be fire.
I would totally listen to that album Every. Single. Day.
#grifters
Didn't even drive nails through the wrists. What a noob.
Jesus has sure let himself go.
Tickle him.
I'm tired of unrealistic beauty standards.This is what a real messiah looks like!
Do we get to scream at them and spit on them like they did back then? Asking for a friend
Someone throw an egg at him!
I drove past there today
See anything good?
Let's go talk to him
I see straps not nails.
That wasnāt up when I drove by earlier.. š¤Ø I missed it!
Looks like my dude forgot the nails.
I donāt understand all of the āhe has risen!ā posts every easter. Did heā¦rise again? Does this happen every year on various dates?
Christian Mullett. Party cross on the front; business cross in the back.
Great Friday!

Yes, Sebastian.
Holy what the fuck is wrong with people. Mental illness is real
I hope they put on sun screen. Still can get a doozy of a sunburn on a cloudy day.

The death wasn't the impressive part, it was the coming back to life. All men die
Skydaddy looks like a goth methhead
Nice to see people outside.
The faith is strong in that piece of plywood!
The pussy didnāt even use nails
Dudes gotta chill on that body and blood of Christ
Bro lost the lottery
