I think I’ve seen the same iconography in Quake with the flayed humanoids crucified to the walls on some levels.
I have questions too.
Why are you surprised some very Catholic family members gave your daughter a bracelet?
Did you previously tell those family members to please not give her any religious gifts?
Do you not know what the images represent?
What questions were you afraid your daughter was going to ask?Our family members know that we’re not Catholic.
No, we’ve never explicitly asked them not to talk about religion or give us religious stuff. It’s usually just kind of “known” that we aren’t into it.
I do know exactly what the images are. I just don’t think they’re executed well, nor are they appropriate for a 6 year old.
Questions like “Why does that person have their boobies out?” And “Why are they red?” And “Why are they posed like that?” And “Who are the lady and the man?”
She doesn’t need answers to those kinds of questions at her age.
Questions like “Why does that person have their boobies out?” And “Why are they red?” And “Why are they posed like that?” And “Who are the lady and the man?”
I too would hesitate to try to explain House Bolton to a six year old.
Right??
I think you’re overreacting just a little. It’s an admittedly badly designed bracelet. Oh no.
Do you get this worried about Santa Claus too?
I think you’re misunderstanding me and ascribing to me some sentiment that I am not intending to convey.
And Santa Claus is not a corpse.
You’re making ridiculous statements, man. You are 100% over thinking and over reacting. Honestly from the comments you made in this post it feels like you’re being religious about being atheist, and acting crazy because a religion dared step foot into your family.
It’s a dumb bracelet, that a family member probably thought was a nice thing for a gift.
Guess what. Jesus was never a corpse either. Lol
LOL. Dude, you’re really trying to start something here, and it’s just sad. Stop trying so hard. It’s not working.
Says the guy posting like it’s an emergency his daughter got a dumb bracelet from a family member. Lol
Again, I think you’re misinterpreting my tone, but maybe I’m the one here who should work on my writing skills. Sorry it’s not clear enough to you that I’m not offended or surprised by the gift, and also that I was just sharing the absurdity of the stupid bracelet with (hopefully) like-minded people.
Lol, what the fuck are you going on about ya dingus? I haven’t read anything like that from OP. And that looks like a corpse on the bracelet. But also, don’t give people your religious bullshit if they are not religious.
Guess what, even if you believe in Jesus, he was a corpse for 3 days ya dumb cunt. Lol

Resurrection
noun
(in Christian belief) the rising of Christ from the dead. noun: Resurrection; noun: the Resurrection
Corpse
noun
a dead body, especially of a human being rather than an animal.
To ressurect, you have to be dead. A corpse is a dead body. You are also a dumb cunt lol. Fucking hell. No wonder so many religious people follow Trump. You’re all dumb cunts.
Thanks for chiming in. You really moved the conversation into a positive place.
No problem 👍🏼
Jesus was never a corpse either
What about those 3 days his body spent in the cave after dying on the cross?
Double check what community we’re in.
I’m pretty sure if Jesus existed, he became a corpse eventually.
i mean, if there was a real person behind the jesus myth, he definitionally was a corpse at one point or another
My 5 yr old came home from school last week asking about heaven, as at least one of her friends are catholic. It’s chilling how little control over religion you have when it comes to younger kids, and it’s the age where indoctrination is most effective. It’s tough to know what to say…
-
there are tons of adults who think they have the same imaginary friend who really doesn’t exist.
-
people look for balance to the idea of their own mortality so they made up religion, then it was coopted by those looking to assume its authority.
-
friend’s parents are wrong and their dog/grandma didn’t go to heaven cause it doesn’t exist.
Obviously not those haha. Good luck though with your little one!
My 5 year old believes that unicorns exist, they are just really good at hiding in the forest. I’m not going to tell them that it’s not true.
The best I’ve been able to come up with is saying some people believe in god, some people don’t. Some people believe in ghosts, some people don’t. Everyone believes in different things, we can let them believe that without believing it ourselves.
Believing in unicorns make much more sense than believing in girafes, we just live in the weird universe
There’s a reason the ancient Romans called giraffes camel-leopards. Even they had trouble believing they existed.
Of course that’s what I do too.
But I don’t think six year olds need to know what a crucifixion is, nor do I think they should be exposed to torture and murder devices at such a young age.
Sounds like you have a healthy outlook on it. Thumbs up.
Funny you say this, because this is what I do too.
I just don’t want my kids to be exposed to torture devices and murder, which is what the crucifixion is.
Again. You’re making way too big of a deal out of it. Chill.
I’m chill. You seem to be the one here who’s not chill.
I don’t even know who you are
I’m the guy you tried to troll.
Haha! Yeah, it’s been a trip raising kids without religion in a very Catholic family. And they have many friends at school who go to church and my son has already had someone tell him he’s not going to heaven.
It sucks.
We’ve already told our kids about the concept of heaven and souls and how some people believe in those things. We’ve gone through a lot of tough questions with them.
But the kids have thankfully never really registered that Catholics surround themselves with images of the Roman equivalent of the electric chair.

She quickly discarded the bracelet, thankfully, and I swooped it up and it shall never be seen again.
But we were like… wow. Just… wow.
At least it’s not the americanized handsome white Jesus… But yeah I wouldn’t give a child a zombie Jesus on a cross bracelet
Is… that a stormtrooper up on that cross? Or was Jesus mando?
He’s also got some nice D-Cups.
Completely off topic, but from far away that bracelet kinda looks like Commander Cody from Star Wars
I… Fucking can’t unsee this… Fuck.
Yeah, just tell the kid it’s a Clone Trooper.
Weird mandalorian bracelet but ok.

This looks like you could wear it and should “LIGHTNING BOLT” and it would actually work.
