QuoteChristian group tears down mysterious monolith on California mountain

A group of young men posted a video of themselves replacing the monolith, which was similar to one discovered in Utah, with a cross


In a video, which was livestreamed and posted online, the group of young men drive from southern California to tear down the structure. Under cover of darkness, they hike up to the structure and tear it down while chanting "Christ is king!". They then erect a homemade wooden cross in its place and drag the remains of the monolith down the mountain to their car.

During the video, the men also make offensive comments and drink substantial quantities of energy drinks, while also referencing Donald Trump and the QAnon conspiracy theory and their mission is to demonstrate "how much we love Jesus Christ".

Was Jesus exceptionally hostile to monoliths, either in absolute terms or by the standards of his time?

If you lust for monoliths you have committed idolatry in your heart.

"Build thee not a monolith made of metal, for it will confuse the Albertans and fill them with wrath."

I'm pretty sure that is in the Bible footnotes.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

To me the weirdest part of that story is the energy drinks.

I occasionally sub my morning coffee for Monster Rehab on really hot summer mornings. Those are basically cheap non-carbonated iced teas with an infusion of caffeine.
