@stavvers Solving Fermi’s Paradox by realising we’re the McPoyle Family of the intergalactic community, and that’s why everyone else is giving us such a wide berth
@stavvers Oh, the aliens from “the looks after her husband milk vault” are going to get upset about what we call ourselves?
@stavvers Two of our cats are commonly referred to as "the Tsarina" and "Duchess von Floofenschnoogel," but putting the title of nobility into the cat's name is a whole different level.

@pooserville @stavvers Reminds me of our dog growing up. Mom got her from someone she knew who has a litter of dalmatian puppies.

We usually called her Vicky, but her full name was "Lady Victoria Dominique".

@stavvers Your dad is clearly a legend.

@stavvers oh god you activated my biblical scholarship SpIn, on your own head be it. Fun fact here is that some scholars think the “sweating blood” is an insertion into Luke’s text. Luke portrays Jesus as a stoic philosopher and removes all the references to him being anguished. It’s thought this was added back in to make Jesus look more human (when some later Christians were denying this). And now we get evangelicals basically ignoring/denying these references to Jesus being “weak and emotional”

The millennia-long back-and-forth between “Chad Jesus” and “Virgin Jesus” could in itself form the basis for a book on ever-changing western attitudes towards masculinity

@stavvers Everyone knows Christ died on the cross. What my book presupposes is ... maybe he didn't?

@chrispackham

There is not a single hint in the Bible, that Jesus was actually dead after he was taken from the cross. Many things point to the conclusion, that he was still alive.

And there are many stories of other humans, who fall in some form of meditation after enlightenment for around three days, which looks like a coma.

But nobody wants to talk about it, especially the Atheists deny any real world explanations.

@AdeptVeritatis "Jesus did not die for our sins, actually" is a good retcon for a new church

@chrispackham

His body didn't die.
His ego and the belief in his person died on the cross. His sins.
The rest was still there.

He showed his followers, that it is possible to achieve this as a human. We are free to do the same with our sins. Nothing more.

No new church. He even warned his followers, that a church will be built upon this.
There is no use in building another "correct" church.

@AdeptVeritatis @chrispackham say you've never actually read the Bible without actually saying...

@davealvarado @chrispackham

That is not an argument.
And it is pointless for me to prove otherwise.

Which doctor declared death?
Most people already left. It was holiday time. Only the two unfortunate guards had to be on duty. The show was over. The last bored bystanders left. And the rest of his followers, who didn't flee, were mourning and didn't check for signs of life.

The guards stabbed him and put vinegar in the wound, but in meditation, the body showed no reaction.

@davealvarado @chrispackham

He didn't drink the poisoned wine (in the beginning).

His legs weren't smashed, when taken from the cross. At that time, the other two were still alive.

Don't tell me, his spirit "magically" left his body before.

The guards were probably not very motivated. They were the least motivated, most useless guards. Who else would be sent to stand there while holiday starts? Watching some people die painfully.

@davealvarado @chrispackham

Take them down and break their legs. Which means use the sword to cut the legs. Hard work. Easy to hurt yourself or damage your equipment. And not fun. Even if you hate those people. A really awful, bloody job.

And then, some people come and say, hey, you don't need to do that on the third one, he is already dead.

Hell yeah, they choose to let the people take him away!

Nobody realized, he was still alive.

@AdeptVeritatis @chrispackham how do you explain "he breathed his last"? Did he hold his breath for a couple days?

@stavvers

I'm vaguely aware of a Muslim sect that believes that Jesus survived the crucifixion and lived out his life in another country. (I once skimmed one of their tracts; it had what I'd now call a real undergrad-atheist energy to it.)

So anyway, if you run into someone like that, assuming they are Muslim would certainly go over well and not in any be be hilarious.

@stavvers Sadly, I think the OP’s confusingly-expressed point was that Jesus had to be a Manly Man™ in order to get as far as he did before dying, and if he’d been some sort of emotional Girly Man™ he would have swooned when flogged and expired in a dainty flounce before he managed to drag the cross up the hill.
1/2
@stavvers (Of course, as depicted in the Gospels, Jesus was a touchy, abrasive, doubt-ridden, neurotic mystic, prone to going on long esoteric rants when asked plain questions by his followers. He doesn’t fit either the Girly Man™ or Manly Man™ archetype—but why should he? Those are anachronisms.)
@joXn @stavvers Now I'm imagining a Christian sect that went "Jesus couldn't carry the crucifixion cross up the hill on his own - it was the aliens that helped build the pyramids that helped him do that.".
@stavvers What the hell have I just read? 🤣
@stavvers browsing this thread in reverse has been a phenomenal journey. the mitosis one made me feel so many things at once that i nearly impaled my phone upon a spike
@thegarbagebird @stavvers I didn't realize it's a thread until I read your reply and now I'm about 3 hours behind my work today 😅
@rebe_gc @stavvers right!? each one is worthy of careful scrutiny, rotation and consideration, or causes loss of time, or both. truly a marvel
@stavvers OMG this is SO true!
@cstross there is a parallel world where this is what happened and I wish we were there

@stavvers Am now terrified, though, imagining the Worse Alternative Republican Potus who might have squatted our-world Trump's shtick.

Because you know there'd be one …

@stavvers no thats the problem hes legit funny like hes got the comedic instincts of a lifetime bully

@stavvers

I hate that this is true. His cattiness and kayfabe would even be - well, if not a good thing, at least an appropriate thing.

Imagine drag trump doing the bing bong speech.
I would not have thought I would ever utter these words...

I think he could still be nudged that way if we could get the crowds to applaud at the right places. A few rallys and he would become Pavlov's drag queen.

@stavvers

@stavvers

LOL!

Is it wrong to hope that SNL picks up on this and we have a whole Drag Queen Trump arc or even reframe the Republican primary debates as a Drag show with musical numbers? Might give George Santos ideas though, or an unfair advantage.

@stavvers yet what would her name be? Dolly Strumpet? Donna Hump. Inquiring minds need to know
@stavvers
There's a part of the multiverse where Donna Twump came second in season 8 of Drag Race and complained it was fixed, and Jinkx Monsoon is a much loved two term US President who worked on equality, poverty reduction, and robust action on the climate emergency.
@stavvers That needs to be on the biggest digital billboard in Times Square.
