What happened was awful. It was a freak accident. But God is still good.

Sounds like an abusive relationship lol

The Christian god is an amalgamation of two earlier gods that were local to the area, a war god and a storm god.

Which explains quite a bit about the Bible and Christians

They nicked all the good bits from Mesopotamia, mainly from the Sumerians and Akkadians.

And Greco-Roman. Heracles and Aescipleus with a dash of Dionysus. Hell, Christian holidays were originally Roman.

It’s clearly labelled that god is god (well duh) the Holy Spirit (so anything goes) and Jesus because if it was straightforward it would be more/less stupid depending on who you’re talking to.

If a religion doesn’t have something slightly mind bending, it is A: boring and B: makes things too easily explainable and lacks whimsy

It is great to be a Christian sign hanger but you also need to be competent.

This is reality's sense of humor coming out during a final destination style event.

It's got a dark sense of humor that I don't always understand, but we're still homies

Unmissable indeed

“What went wrong, but also why did God let this happen? I suppose is the deeper question that I’m sure you’re feeling too.”

Odd question given the festival, but they should know by now that if God sits in judgement in the afterlife he can't remain impartial by interfering in real life. Everyone has to have the opportunity to sin or fail on their own.

Wtf kind of sign is this? Lmfao I can't even imagine why this sign would exist?

From photos it looked more like an entrance that people could walk under to get into the festival, metal truss each side, metal across the top with the sign attached.

I'm stopping posting my usual comment that is typically a pun based on the original post. There's just too many too make out of this one. Shite way to die though. Sorry for the victim,  his family, and his friends.

I'm half convinced it's Ai graphic design because what does everything's unmissable even mean
