Reply to comment by iTwango in TIL the deacon Saint Lawrence was roasted alive on a giant grill during the persecution of Valerian. The poet Prudentius tells that he joked with his tormentors, "Turn me over—I'm done on this side". He is now the patron saint of cooks, chefs, and comedians. by ALasagnaForOne

I mean why? It's a bit of their god from the time he did the thing he's most famous for. It's not they are disrespecting his sacrifice or something

But you could kill a deer, say god lives in its heart, then eat the heart raw out of your hand. They aren’t being disrespectful of the sacrifice but it’s still weird and creepy
