Don't wanna argue with the premises here. But isn't Christianity also a bit stupid for praying towards the instrument that's been used to torture and kill their leader.

Just imagine you are Jesus and come into a modern church. You'd run away screaming with all those crosses triggering your PTSD. And that's before you've even heard of all the atrocities they're doing there in your name.

I'm not Christian but isn't it just very emblematic of the Christian victim complex? Praying towards the instrument of your faith's victimisation is sort of like taking the power back from that symbol and acknowledging the victimisation your belief system has gone through... As far as I can understand it at least 😂

I honestly don't think most Christians even think this deeply about their own faith.
