Jesus: impossible to kill, reproduced asexually. Jesus is canonically a fungus. Clearly the part the Romans crucified was a fruiting body of some kind, leaving the bulk of the organism below ground, safe and secure. And every Easter, we find Jesus' multi-colored spores hidden in dark places. The rabbits tried to warn us. But now it's too late. He's metastasized across the whole planet. Soon enough, he will come again, and when he does, no cross in the world will be big enough to keep him at bay.

@intransitivelie Also conveniently overlooked is the bit in the gospels where Jesus rises from the grave and returns to walk the Earth, accompanied by a horde of shambling zombies he bought along for shits and giggles. Jesus literally led the zombie rising! And the second coming will be Night of the Living Dead, Part Two.

@cstross @intransitivelie Amanita Muscaria hallucinations may have been involved in Christianity’s & the LDS’s foundings.
Joseph Smith’s Vermont revelations were in a forest thick with them.

@stevewfolds @intransitivelie ... Or he might just have been a corrupt grifter who wanted to farm his followers for money and extra wives. (Not that different from L. Ron Hubbard or Charles Manson (except Manson skipped writing the holy book and went straight to FAFO))
@cstross @intransitivelie L. Ron Hubbard’s drug intake was prodigious. Manson’s LSD cult doesn’t match w/personal experiences w/acid as a Dead Head in late ‘60s. :)
