Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

The execution is the whole point though. The Christian understanding of the Crucifixion isn't just "our leader got tortured and killed and that's sad," it goes way deeper than that. The cross represents the very moment that human sin was forgiven due to the sacrifice of Jesus as a perfect, sinless being. Christians believe that the sacrifice (death on the cross) was the entire purpose of God incarnating on Earth in the first place. It's not simply that God became a man to teach humans how to live, but rather the whole point was this moment of self/human sacrifice. So of Jesus was who Christians believe he was, he wouldn't find it awkward at all.
Still super weird that a deity would need to sacrifice himself to himself, to forgive his own creation's offspring for the actions of their ancestors who acted in the way he created it to (not knowing right from wrong ) when it ate the forbidden fruit said deity put in an easily accessible location...
Well, when you put it like that...
