Woman treats green ogre figure with great reverence; says she will continue to worship ‘kind-hearted’ cartoon statue
As a buddhist, that statue is most definitely something I want in my home.
Do other people not pray to Shrek daily?
I’m not devout, it’s only once every 2 or 3 weeks for me.
That is nothing, billions of muslims worships nonexisting god, billion+ christians worships same nonexisting god and milions jews worships same nonexisting god while killing eachother without remorse.
Maybe their god wanted some peace and quite and thought that if they were to annihilate each other, that might lead to fulfilling the requirement.
That explains why we don’t work on Saturdays, nothing good can come of it.
I mean… there are worse options
Shrek isn’t the worst idol.
He’s grumpy but he’s got layers, and is fairly accepting. And I think we can all relate to how far he’ll go for a bit of peace and quiet.
What? Like some kind of onion creature?
Like he came from a 3D printer.
I’d liken him more to a parfait
Honestly that’s a far better idol than most religions.
Shrek is love, Shrek is life.
Onions!
This is great material, A+ stuff
Objectively not the dumbest religion I’ve ever heard of.
This is how I view all religion, so this is fine.
Clearly it was working. If Shrek wasn’t answering the prayers I think it would be obvious.
can someone doing 3D printing take a look at the pictures? i have no idea about these things, but it looks like the ears would be some crazy overhangs.
from the reflection of the light i assume, the statue was printed bottom to top. so how did they manage to do the ears?
Decent modern printers can handle overhangs fairly well. If the overhangs get too big you can use supports. If you want to get fancy there are filaments meant to be used only as supports in a multi-material print that dissolve in water so they don’t leave marks on the print.
FWIW I don’t think it was printed upside down. It would complicate things and would require more supports for no benefit.
thanks
It’s not a Buddha statue, or based on one. It’s based on Bodai, a monk from China. Actual Buddha statues are slim figured.
Shrek is love Shrek is life Shrek is god
Utah family worships a portrait of Obi Wan Kenobi thinking it’s Jesus.hahaha! I just saw the story about it: https://www.boredpanda.com/obi-wan-kenobi-jesus-portrait-mormon-parents-prank/
Is that worse or better than the other fake portrait of Jesus I saw growing up Catholic? The white, blue eyed Jesus that you’ve probably seen somewhere.
Hey now, she’s an all-star!
The ears are literally the only thing making it Shrek.
Shrek is just Buddha with weird ears.
Well, I’d argue that Shrek’s normal face is exactly halfway between Buddha and Sexy Human Shrek.
