I got in trouble during Sunday morning Bible school (where they dumped the kids during mass so they wouldn’t distract the adults) for asking where Cain and Abel’s wives came from.
Did they marry their sisters? Were there other people in the world, so maybe Adam and Eve weren’t the first? Did yahweh use the rib trick again?
Bible kinda glosses over that one.
Me too, constantly, for asking questions. I legit wanted to understand, I was too young to be skeptical yet, but after a few months I learned well that asking questions was not only unwelcome but would be subtly punished so I just started zoning out, and it carried over to when I was allowed to attend mass. That whole part of my young life is a weird void of daydreaming in pews while grownups chant and mumble. The Lord’s Prayer, while lovely in intent, to this day reminds me of nothing more that a room full of hissing snakes, because that’s what it sounds like if you aren’t really listening. Kind of a Death Eaters vibe.
Many denominations no longer say ‘trespasses’, so I’ll bet a lot of readers were wondering what in the world you were talking about!
Charlie Kirk dropped out of university. I wonder if there’s a “please don’t succeed where I failed” connection?
I am a font of useless knowledge!
Forgive usssss our ssssinssss also does it
Yeah, I scratch my head at “There were Adam and Eve, and they had two sons. And from that, the entire world got populated.” No matter which scenario you run that through, it’s a weird one.
That’s what Carrie says about me!
It’s a fan-fiction anthology. They never turn out well.
Illiteracy, plus for hundreds of years the promise that if you didn’t say you believed then you would be put to the sword.
Probably more that second one, honestly. Death can be a pretty profound motivator.
They got the kinky sex stuff in there, but forgot to include any werewolves, vampires, or cyborgs.
1/10 would not recommend.
All the blood drinking and flesh eating comes in later, when it’s mainstream.
Speaking of popularized Greek myths (plus a version where the romance is delightful and the dicks finally get some comeuppance…) not ashamed to say I got totally hooked on Lore Olympus with it’s charming, color-coded midcentury aesthetic.
Happily confess to being thoroughly enthralled with this comic. Weird in it’s own way, but fun.
