Yeah, I’ve been out of the church long enough I can hear it now. They all start as a weird cult, and in this case a weird death cult that chose a torture device as their symbol, and were the first recruiting religion to actively shit on everyone else’s religion (AFAIK).
You didn’t actually specify the denomination, but Catholic cannibalism and the various denominations that do rights in dead languages are also fun. Coptics even do it facing the wall away from you. Evangelicals try and make Christianity slick and modern, at least, although it’s a matter of taste if that’s better or worse.
