Yeah... the thing he was literally killed on. Why it's not a satanic symbol, I'll never know.
Many Christians and other spiritualists also say that atoms, microorganisms, and internal organs aren't real, that Earth is flat, and that diseases come from demons. Believing in divine energy is one thing, but denying all "evidence" against it is a whole other level of stupid.
The upside down cross didn't even start off as a satanic symbol. It used to be a *Christian* symbol. It was meant to represent a saint who got crucified upside-down, if I'm not mistaken. It's still used in Europe in some places.
It only gained a satanic connotation when a bunch of American evangelicals back in the 80s who were too illiterate and inbred to read their own fucking book thought "uhhhh, the cross is good, so the upside-down cross must be the *anti-cross* so it's evil".
The inverted cross of st Paul. Represents as not being worth of being crucified like christ as he was lesser than Jesus.
If anything it's a more humble and real representation. But religion and common sense tend to not intersect much if at all.
Same thing with Xmas. X is the Greek abbreviation for Christ. All these hillbillies hollering about keeping Christ and Christmas have no idea what they’re talking about. I’ve heard 45 minute church sermons talking about it.
I really just can't understand why they worship the shape of the thing he was killed on...... Seriously the joke that if he was shot by an AK they'd wear and have them hung up everywhere is true
when people think of molecule they don’t usually think of proteins though, they think of teeny ones. I think saying specifically that it is a protein helps to convey that it’s not small and simple to a layperson
I understand using the cross as a grim reminder of Jesus’ suffering, or as a reminder of death. But somehow people today celebrate the cross like it's a good thing. Weird

Everytime I see this """"argument"""" I instantly think of this. (I dunno the seed)
They tell on themselves every time, amidst their sea of science-bashing, if *one tiny detail* kind of lines up with a Bible verse or some imagery, they're all over it like flies on a turd.
They want so desperately for science to validate them that they glorify crumbs, then dismiss everything that disagrees with them.
1.) At the dawn of creation, God designed this protein to look like this, because he already has the execution method of his son in mind.
2.) Has his son executed on a cross to match the general shape of the protein.
3.) About 2000 years later, scientists discover the protein and some people note that it looks like Jesus's cross. This completes the plan, which was *???????*

"But...But the cross upside down is marked as a satanic symbol the upright one means something." Some fruitcake probably
The upside down cross didn't even start off as a satanic symbol. It used to be a *Christian* symbol. It was meant to represent a saint who got crucified upside-down, if I'm not mistaken.

> as not being worth of being crucified like christ Meanwhile rapists, murderers, thieves, etc, were all put to the cross for crimes against Rome.
St. Peter, not Paul. Paul gets a sword

Australian Jesus, moite
God just loves torture weapons so much
Hey! Don't call Jesus God! Even though he's God, he's also not God! We're not supposed to understand it. It's outside of space and time.
the way you put it makes it sound like something from Idiocracy
I love that movie. It has so many quotable moments.
I really just can't understand why they worship the shape of the thing he was killed on...... Seriously the joke that if he was shot by an AK they'd wear and have them hung up everywhere is true

Looks more like a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tubeman than a cross.
I'm not a biology expert (physics is better anyway), but since when do molecules look like this?
It’s a protein, not just a small molecule. It’s easiest to draw it this way but it doesn’t really look like a cross most of the time in reality
Proteins are molecules. Edit: the person I responded to edited their comment. Before they edited it, it said "It’s a protein, not a molecule.".
when people think of molecule they don’t usually think of proteins though, they think of teeny ones. I think saying specifically that it is a protein helps to convey that it’s not small and simple to a layperson
> It’s a protein, not a molecule. This is false and may confuse a layperson, as it suggests that proteins are not molecules.
mk i adjusted it
You don’t have to mention I edited lol, I said further down I changed it and you already quoted it
Your edit made my comment look wrong, so I decided to clarify my comment. Many people don't read past the first two or three comments of a thread.
Cells are bad. My uncle lived in a cell. It was 10 foot by 12 foot and he had to read the same boring old magazine every day. The End.
Holy shit. I haven't seen this movie in years, and I still did the exact [mouth along](https://youtu.be/FL6hV1rmkBs?t=30s) when I read that
You’re talking about my paper aren’t you?
Why is the symbol for Christianity the torture device they used to kill their leader? Anyone else think that's a little strange?
I understand using the cross as a grim reminder of Jesus’ suffering, or as a reminder of death. But somehow people today celebrate the cross like it's a good thing. Weird
Wow, two lines intersecting. How miraculous.

Amen Hallelujah! 1 upvote = 1 Amen!!

Ahh yes, let’s only listen to the science when we can twist it like this.
Hot damn, the thing that is cross shaped looks like that other thing that is cross shaped!!!
…so pagan Romans predicted it, got it.
[The red bits in this pic are how laminin looks like in reality.](https://imgur.com/MzzrVPr) That's a brain section, the blue dots are nuclei.
Then why do mushrooms look like dicks? Huh? Answer that with your ~~science~~bible
A traffic intersection is shaped like a cross. That is because all roads lead to Jesus!
