Is the cross not a roman torture device?
And what does that tell you about those who politically coerced romans into nailing him to that cross? Again, it's not the weapon that makes the warrior, just as having pencils don't make you an artist
It's what you do with what you have that matters, if you decide to be a cuck then you'll be a cuck, regardless of your religious or ideological inclination, that's all
Or here is another way to look at it:
Imagine if we somehow were able to overnight replace all the depictions of jesus dying on the cross with him . If we could shift the focus of him suffering on behalf of others to that of him defeating death and banksters. If we could replace the symbol of the cross with that of the .
Do you think this would have an effect on our collective psyche? I do. I believe this would make a massive difference.
It's not so much the symbol of the cross that needs to be replaced/changed, it's how it's viewed/ perceived, and that is doable
Symbolism matters.
Islam uses the symbolism of swords and
Christianity uses their prophet dying on a foreign torture device as their symbolism.
Yeah, sure, it's what you make of it. That is true. But lets not pretend that a culture that uses weapons as religious wall decor will naturally evolve differently than one that uses a foreign torture device where their own died on as wall decor. It's not coincidental.
I'm not sure muslims are a good example for anything. Nearly 40% of them are illiterate. For a people obsessed over one book, that's fucking rich. Their own prophet warned the next generations would only become more degenerate than the previous ones
https://sunnah.com/bukhari:6429
The Prophet said, "The best people are those of my generation, and then those who will come after them (the next generation), and then those who will come after them (i.e. the next generation), and then after them, there will come people whose witness will precede their oaths, and whose oaths will precede their witness."
That's also part of the islamic eschatology, regarding end times signs
That being said, except for the sword they didn't manufacture the weapon you mention. Economically speaking the contribution of islamic countries to world's GDP is pathetic
If not for US support, and fossil fuel, where would they be? You believe they are strong, you have an image of strength when it comes to muslims. Reality is that ISIS was israel's gadget. They are only as strong as the hand enabling and manipulating them
Catholics always depicted Christ as effeminate because of Mithra worship. Mithra is associated with Hermaphrodites or the 'Supreme Androgyne'. It's derived from Zurvanism/ Zoroastrianism.
Christ should be depicted as a masculine and physically fit, idealised European, Atlantid or Nordid phenotype. Hermaphrodite worship is antithetical to the Bible. I'd say it's pretty weird to adopt the device that was used to kill someone you look up to, as the symbol of your faction or sect but it's probably better to use something more nuanced than a whip. Quite hard to change that now though. You could adopt strong & uplifting imagery from many passages.
The death of Christ is of course important but to outsiders it appears to be some kind of blood sacrifice. A debt owed to Baal, that was paid off. If that is the genuine meaning, I want nothing to do with it, but I can also see a completely different, powerful meaning behind it.
I'll try to summarise: -The eternal God, the Alfather, first created a reflection of himself, his First Born Son, or "the Word," the perfect medium, being both God and apart of creation. They are equal in character and worshipfulness. -When he saw the distrust Eve had for him, for being ultimately powerful over her, he knew what he'd have to do to prove that he genuinely cared for his creations and address the slander against him from the adversary. -Thus despite knowing that Christ would suffer and be killed, he would still have to place him in that vulnerable position in order to achieve what was necessary.
