Kneeling for religions doesn’t make any sens. Religions always has a purpose for it’s symbolism and rites, you kneel for a reason. Here it’s for the dead.
The argument was made that the kneeling was for a fallen soldier. I don’t think that interpretation is correct. You, too, seem to agree that that’s not the only reason to kneel for the cross.
Edit: Upon a bit more reflection, this particular graphic for this saying could mean a dead soldier since it’s a soldier praying. And crosses are sometimes used for soldiers’ grave markers. But not always. And you can find soldiers praying in front of other crosses. And soldiers don’t pray only for the dead when kneeling before a cross. I’d have to ask the artist her intentions.
What would be another reason? What i’m saying is religion isn’t a reason, honoring the deads is.
Is there something else, maybe i didn’t understand what you meant?
Edit : Yes in this particular case it’s a soldier on the grave of its brother in arms who died at war. Not sure who the artist is but the meaning is pretty clear, stand for America and honor the soldiers that fought for it in war.
Why would you want to make fun of soldiers honoring their fallen?
Its not about that, this originated from the outrage when Collin Kapernik was taking the knee during the national anthem.
Because soldiers, unless forcibly conscripted, are morons.
Every dead soldier had it coming, actually
That soldier is kneeling for religion, not a fallen peer.
That’s a grave marker.
A cross can be a grave marker, but so can a tombstone. The phrase is “I kneel for the cross.” The cross symbolizes a religion, not dead people.
The whole saying, “I stand for the flag. I kneel for the cross,” is used by many more people than just soldiers.
No its not.

People kneel to pray for all sorts of things.
And all of them are reasons to kneel for, religion itself isn’t a reason, religion gives you a reason.

It could be a soldier praying for a safe tour.
But see my edit. If the artist meant it to be a fallen soldier as the reason, I could believe it. I don’t think it’s the only possibility though.
So what is the possibility you meant by “kneeling to religion” ?
