I feel like whoever buys this should turn the garden into a satanic shrine, just to balance things out.

[-] [email protected] 29 points 11 months ago

I mean, it’s already a pretty good Pagan nature temple.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

This is true! It just needs a sacred tree and a few triskellions to complete the look.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

And loads and loads of wild flowers and "weeds" like dandelions.

Paint it, have it appraised for many moneys, hang it there and watch the neighbour somehow ruin it. Claim damages for many money.

Excellent place for a gay bar.

[-] [email protected] 35 points 11 months ago

Seems fitting, Jesus loved saying "Ah... Men"

[-] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

The garden might be in Ireland, so it could be Eamonn.

Is it raining?

A fabulous war.

I am not well versed in religion but wasn't it their god that said not to idolize him ?

[-] [email protected] 39 points 11 months ago

It’s fine, they’re mostly idolising his mum.

Mariolatry!

That link is actually a pretty wild ride. Excerpt: "Father Jerome of Texo, of the Society of Jesus, rejoiced in the name of slave of Mary; and, as a mark of servitude, went often to visit her in some church dedicated in her honor. On reaching the church, he poured out abundant tears of tenderness and love for Mary; then prostrating, he licked and rubbed the pavement with his tongue and face, kissing it a thousand times, because it was the house of his beloved Lady".

Yeah simps aren't new !

[-] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago

If I recall correctly the bible said not to worship the idols themselves or other gods through idols.

The way many orthodox christians interpret this is that it's ok to have religious symbols or icons as long as you use them as tools of worship and not worship them.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

He actually told them not to worship “false” idols. Idols of his family are fine.

[-] [email protected] 36 points 11 months ago

Having a ton of crucifixes up on a wall gets a lot funnier if you see them as hunting trophies.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Each one claimed by slaying a goosafix

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Turns out Jesus has come back hundreds of times, so why don’t we ever see him?

One word: Ethel.

Jesus Christ 😶

[-] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

Crazy lives there. It pretends to not be crazy by saying “God” all the time.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

It would be an awful lot creepier if they were pictures of you.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago
[-] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

to me, this is a dichotomy of spiritual symbolism and worship of nature. I prefer the one on the right, personally.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Needs more wicker man.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

I think it's all the blue, but it made me think of My Big Fat Greek wedding.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

I'd imagine them being the judgiest neighbors ever. "Dont have sex too loud, the neighbors might hear us."

I am more concerned about how long your grass is.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

If this shrine was about anything else nobody would shame you for worrying about whoever owns it.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

That looks like a creepy cemetery.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I suppose there is a certain sense of stick-to-itiveness to the décor

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Bit idea: put up a neo pagan Roman shrine next to it.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Fill it with gnomes.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Religious decor is one thing but does it also need to look so kitschy

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

I think I prefer kitschy than the hyper realistic crucifix paintings/statues. The one at my church when I was a kid was terrifying - I’d always drag my mum to the side where peaceful Mary was rather than tortured Jesus!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Is there a decent ex-Christian (not strictly athiest) community on here?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

There’s two !exchristian communities, @lemmy.world and lemmy.one but they’re both dead at the moment. Same for exmormon@lemmyworld. You should start one!

I'd imagine they may not be particularly noisy neighbours for the most part though. Could be far far worse, I'd much rather live next to this than have gang members for neighbours
