Why are you always so hostile to Catholicism? Jesus did nothing wrong. All he did was get humiliated and tortured because of our failures, all the episcopacy did was try to survive for two thousand years. but you still get soooooo buttmad at the ecclesiam and never pass up any chance to malign her. You have a personal beef; ok we get it. Now please stop.

Based Christian.

What a garbage illustration that OP posted. Imagine celebrating the Satanic hatred towards an Apostle of Christ. Thank God that Christianity crushed the lying and false gods of paganism.

>Christian symbolism so superior
While
>expressed metaphysical understanding... is a degree lower

Because Christianity only comes from stories and histories. Each story has a plot, characters, a beginning, middle and a climax. Jesus has his biographies- the four gospels, your body and soul has a baptism and then everlasting glory or everlasting condemnation, the universe has a beginning and an apocalypse, the world has a creation and a last judgment, etc. Other religions don’t care about stories, they don’t believe in linear cause-and-effect. They start from the lettering and wording of their scripture and then condescend to the spirit of their scripture or doctrine. Christian Symbolism is like a news report or journalism- it is meant to relay the “facts” or the particular plot points of the story, where other religions have symbols that are only about “dogmatic and expressed metaphysical
understanding”.

Take this crucifix- it presumes to nothing more than a humble fact, a plot point, from the climax of Jesus’ history on earth- the crucifixion of an actual Godman.

Here’s Christ’s sacrifice to comfort you OP. God bless.

And buy a small, grotesque and bloody crucifix to aid your meditation on Christ’s passion.
