Weird
Christian thuggery.
I thinknit’s an athlete not a goddess.
Truly an apt symbol of Christianity.
I hate iconoclasts.
Ughh. Disgusting. The defacement, not the religion, per se.
Looks like people have been doing this for millenia; defacing and destroying religious icons and sculptures in favour of one’s own religion.
I’m still not over the destruction of the sites in Palmyra by ISIS.

Edit: I bet the person who destroyed this carving and who carved the cross on it was just giddy with excitement. And with thought that he was doing the Lord’s work.
Defaced literally.
Literally under erasure. Derrida ever see this?
First off, the damaging is both a shame and, at the same time, a valuable depiction of practices of early Christianity in the Mediterranean
With that said,
this is kinda metal ngl.
I think that just about sums up religion.
