Indeed! Also, this is the internet. You're allowed to say bullshit.
No! That's $10 fine! Send me a private message and I'll give you the address to send the iTunes gift card serial number to pay the fine(yes internet fines are only payable in iTunes gift cards)

It's basically a zombie death cult. This powerful necromancer has to die to become a lich, releasing his soul into a phylactery which happens to be the souls of his believers (and making it really hard to destroy his phylactery). Then his believers are promised that they will come back as undead, as a reward for carrying a part of this "holy ghost" phylactery. What a racket.
This should be on Wikipedia as description of Christianity
i mean it's mostly all metaphor and allegory, meant to teach you lessons rather than to act as a historical document.
it's like a book of fables for people who think animals are silly
meant to teach you lessons
The foremost lesson being "obey authority figures or else"
"Treat women and children like property. Always blame victims. Take slaves from neighboring countries, never your own."
Lots of great lessons in that holiest of books.
Second is "don't question them"
personally i am a fan of "keep your religion to yourself", "don't use the veil of the church as a means to make money", "help those that others cast out, like sex workers", "don't engage in stereotype", and "rich people go to hell".
Yeah. Funny how the most influential Christians all tend to forget those 🤔
But only mostly!
Catholicism truly believes you are eating Jesus's body and drinking his blood at mass.
But it's not cannibalism because the bread and wine still keep all their properties after turning into Jesus 🤓

You could make a perfectly cromulent meringue out of human blood, and it'd have all the properties of a meringue made out of eggs (no, seriously, blood is effectively a one to one culinary equivalent of eggs, except for the taste and allergens)... but it'd still be made out of human blood. 🤷♂️
It's this kind of mental gymnastics that killed church for me. Jesus had a pretty decent moral framework set up, but people mangled into a bunch of hocus pocus.
A part of my family is extremely religious, and borderline fundamentalist. After a while I've been able accept the fact that some people want to know how the world works, and some want to believe.
I know that my death won't be much different than if our dog dies. My consciousness will cease to exist, and I'll either get burnt or decompose. Many people are filled with existential dread and look to religion to comfort them. And that's cool for them.
And then their things beyond your understanding, that you fill with little stories. Sickness isn't something that can be prevented by a shot, it's a punishment. Not getting kids? A punishment. Pork? Haram because Allah said so, not because refrigeration didn't exist. Whatever makes you happy!
The problem I got is that these people are easily lied to and manipulated by authority. The religious right are so easily played by Trump it's embarrassing as a human being.
I wish more of them would live like this: "Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you." - Saint Augustine
jesus was a bottom. did you think he was topping 12 dudes a night?
Take this cream-filled donut, for it is my...
That was one of the miracles he performed.
are you telling me he was so good at fucking that they started a religion after him
Got a whore to straight up start worshiping him.
How about some mayo?
😋
I wanted a supper, not a snack!
