handbinding my immortal
(genuinely one of the best things I have ever seen)
(A/N I included as little of the actual text as possible in the alt because Enoby's writing style is gonna be hell on screenreaders. DUN LIKE DUN LISSN)
I need to know what her plans are.
@stavvers Very much my kids' lives, if you swap "Ska" for "Folk".
We went to a folk festival a couple weeks' back. And last week on a car ride my 8yo requested "Slayer". She then spent the 25 min journey drumming on her legs with a big grin on her face. She's never done this before. 😂
@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 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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
