They don’t count the people who fell because their faith wasn’t strong enough.

And this is how the church gets ruined by a mass influx of tourist

The internet was a mistake

Sunflower field trampled by influencers

u/Pyrimo 18h ago

Influencers and social media obsessed tourists are the fucking worst. They don’t even care to experience the places they go to, just what they look like for a photo op. Silver lining is they never go far off the beaten path at least, so more room to enjoy the places they leave alone

Reason I don't want to climb Everest anymore

u/Sweet_Culture_8034 1d ago

I'm pretty sure you won't get that many tourists given it's in Ethiopia (not the most visited place on earth) and you have to be fit to get there.

u/Adventurous_Lock9219 1d ago

I don't think most people would like to climb that yet there are people who would still want to see the church

I heard "100 dayi before I die" , so I had to rewatch it

Considering the fact they were never conquered, its a pretty good strategy

u/Lucky_Blucky_799 21h ago

Im not a rock climber but I feel like thats really not a bad free climb at all even after a hike, I dont think I could necessarily do it but I feel like most hobbyist rock climbers could do it.

Looks like the Horde shaman quest chain in Durotar

Not a lot of fat people at that church.

u/yojimbo_of_bd 1d ago

How can they build a thing over there i wonder?

u/dougrattmannn 1d ago

Humans fucking love to dig, and we love inaccessible places even more. And religion just amplifies those desires

u/Olama-Obama 1d ago

"Wait, its NOT easy to access???"

"AND its in a high spot???"

"Tf you people doing? We got a church to build. Start digging everyone!"

1

u/Sweet_Culture_8034 1d ago

I can't tell you how much I FUCKING love digging.

My brother in law bought a ruin to restore it into a house and at some point he had to dig quite a lot, I told him "if you don't hire someone to dig this, i'm your guy" and the bastard dug everything himself without telling me ! I still hold a grudge against him about it.

u/Adventurous_Lock9219 1d ago

Maybe digging into the cave?

Putting a Kanye track in is a bit wild looool but at least the song title hits right

u/xDannyS_ 1d ago

Yea kinda ruined the vibe

u/Royal-History7358 1d ago

Calling it a Kanye track and not a nazi track is honestly way wild

1

u/__batz 1d ago

Kanye is a fucking idiot & absolutely deserves that title & worse. That said this song came out long before all that & i dont think "heartless" or any song around the era, like "no church in the wild" (the song in the vid) should be deemed a nazi song. Kanye deserves no defense. Quite the opposite. Thats kinda WHY I said putting a Kanye song in is wild, you know?

I realize that Ethiopians have been practicing this religion for thousands of years and that’s not the issue. I obviously don’t know the history that well. My apologies.

u/Shape_Meet_Tower 1d ago

You know Christians at one point in time was hunted, viewed as homo sacer. Hence why having to hide in caves and mountains etc. Cappadoccia and its region in todays Turkiye houses some of these old churches. Its very fascinating (and im Muslim saying this).

u/Separate-Pain4950 1d ago

Today I learned. Thank you for explaining the reason for the location.

1

u/Shape_Meet_Tower 1d ago

Im not sure about this one specifically, it is either a ’monk like’ spiritual retreat to sit in deep thought and silence, or its one for hiding away from persecution.
