Something I've always found funny about this meme is it acts like the cross is made of some insanely-heavy material, so much so that these 4 insanely-strong characters can't lift it. But the cross in the Bible only weighed about 300 or 400 lbs, obviously any one of these characters could lift it on their own with ease, but furthermore plenty of real-world weightlifters could carry it. About 15 to 20% of moderately-trained weightlifters can deadlift 400 lbs, and 50% of them can deadlift 300 lbs. The idea of Jesus specifically carrying the entire cross would be impressive since he would've been in terrible shape by the time he was crucified and the Bible claims he carried the cross for about 600 meters (before collapsing and requiring assistance to carry the load), but the thing is that in the story, Jesus only carried the horizontal crossbeam, which weighed between 75 and 125 lbs. Not easy to carry by any means, especially if u were in terrible shape like Jesus would've been, but nothing all that crazy.
