Finished #Kaos on #Netflix this past weekend. Enjoyed it more than I’d expected. Great acting, cinematography, and a compelling storyline. #Dionysis is my favorite on the show. 🍷 📺 🍿
When I was in the church and learning the Bible in Sunday school, I'm pretty sure I gave Mr. King pause when I asked about who Cain married and a number of other inconsistencies in Bible stories. I think it helps to be incurious to have religious faith.
Also, I don't think it was what "Christians" mistook for the Last Supper that caused the anger. The whole opening was a show of gender fluidity that no one could miss.
