Fucking cons.
I thought Jesus was against worshiping idols?
The first giant jesus statues did so well in protecting Brazilians from crime, poverty and Covid that they're doubling down and erecting one twice the size!How about taking that money and building a school or a library or a hospital something.
Honestly, what year are we in that we're still erecting giant monuments to our stupidity and ignorance?

- Yeah no problem, I hear the collection tray coming around, make sure you drop some coin, the pastor needs a new mansion and jet_niko
- Salvations getting more and more expensive these days, Jesus must have hit some hard times, he’s counting on you haymook_niko

- Hayoth sounds exactly like an atheist.monospaced
- the true cooks and cons were the Odebrecht corruption scandal. The largest in S America's history done by your socialist friends. Embezilling 300 billionhotroddy
- but it's cool to shit on symbol that for most people brings them joy and peacehotroddy
- you SLIGHTLY undervalue power of religion and necessity for people to believe into something bigger then themselves.pr2
- LOL hayoth using words that are completely irrelevant againpango
- @_niko I can’t believe you’re ignorant of the importance of art and culture. At what point will you start defending the Chinese Cultural revelation?Morning_star
- Sure 1000 or 2000 years ago it’s art and culture, doing this today is the epitome of idiocy lol_niko
- ummm chinese culture *revolution had many people murdered... this is not even close.pango
- however, is the giant statue more practical than having a drawing of jesus in your wallet? would that money be more useful to go to hospitals?pango
- @_niko, idiocy? Who’s idiocy?, the millions who still find faith important, or the person who trashes something they don’t understand?Morning_star
- @pango. Niko’s criticism is directly comparable.Morning_star
- I understand it fully well, I was born into it, my people invented Christianity, and if you don’t see it for the nonsense it is you’ve got bigger issues_niko
- And faith is one thing, having Jesus in your heart and in your mind is one thing, but erecting 300 foot statues and propping up the business of religion is anot_niko
- ...another thing all together. Religion as a philosophy is fine. The teachings of Christ are fine, but religion in all its greedy capitalistic forms is fucked_niko
- When used as a tool to manipulate the uneducated masses it’s fucked, when used as a tool to wage war, its fucked_niko
- put a mask on it, a syringe into its arm (keep arms outstretched for social distancing) and it stands in for BELIEFS of many on this board.pr2
- @_niko, you’re not talking about faith when you talk about greedy capitalism. The dogma and administration of a church is one thing but this is a relatively...Morning_star
- ... inexpensive ($350,000) symbol of faith that will be a totem of community.Morning_star
- the CCP's cultural revolution is more comparable to nazi and ISIS. they want to erase history and reshape identity.pango
- culture and identity is still there. I think niko is only criticizing greed. which I'm pretty sure Jesus would agree.pango
- niko what do you mean your people?pango
- @pange. It feels as though the ‘stupidity and ignorance’ _niko talks of falls directly upon the faithful.Morning_star
- Not sure who pange is, apologies.Morning_star
- i can be pange if you want ;)pango
- Morning star, faith is one thing when spiritual and personal but tell me what’s happening in Belfast for instance, who’s side is Jesus on anyway?_niko
- Even faith is kind of a crock, considering it doesn’t do anything except make you feel good for believing the nonsense. I guess that’s “good” for some.monospaced
- In no way is it necessary though, or really that useful to people in a practical way.monospaced

- followers of greek goddesses aren't burning down abortion clinics, trying to dumb down schools, influence law, or lynching gays but you have a pointscarabin
- wait... there's a new giant statue of greek goddess?pango
