I did notice the mods were removing comments and banning people who tried to spread it out further than the few threads it was in. 19 84 but also good work for them keeping on top of this and letting it get too nasty.

masters obey the state (render unto Cesar)

Is that really how you interpret that passage? It was "render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and render unto God what is God's" Isn't it? So it's literally calling out the romans for thinking they own everything when they don't. It seems to be saying the opposite of what you think it is saying. Jesus was crucified by the Romans because he stood against the status quo and was a threat to their power in the region.

Is this what a hexbear struggle session is really like? Struck me more as a couple of people making really extreme statements and generally being mocked for it.

Not a politician, but still relevant.

Seems like Thomas was the apostle who knew where to find the really good shit, probably made top tier Bethelem brownies.

But yeah, early Christian writings are a fascinating topic, just so radically different from the codified stuff that came later, and a lot more like other "cults" at the time (not in the modern sense of the word).

Ironic badposting is still badposting.

Maybe new voice work since the original game's is so bad.

That's half of what makes oblivion fun though. https://youtube.com/shorts/eoztSnj_CcU

Personally, I'm of the opinion that all of Paul's letters should be considered non-canonical. He was just a dude who claimed to have found Jesus and then spoke for him, and because he was a Roman citizen, he could travel freely throughout the empire, so his version of Christianity was the first version most people heard of. His ideas carry far more weight than someone like Mary Magdalene, or most of the apostles. Which is just absurd to me.

So there was a lot of speculation about why he joined Trump's administration in the first place, a lot of people thought it was standard billionaire grift, a way to make money. Some people thought he was so vain and naive that he genuinely thought that he could fix the US economy. But some people wondered if it was just for attention and popularity.

And holy shit, looks like that last group was right. He thought being a politician would somehow make him popular with everybody. What a fragile ego he has, like, toddlers have more self-awareness and understanding than he does.
