IN RE: BACCHUS/DIONYSUS

christofascists are right to get their panties in a bunch about the Bacchanalia depiction.

Jesus Christ *IS* a cooptation of both Bacchus & Dionysus by “very serious people” who needed to turn Christianity into the unifying ontology of a Roman Empire being rebuilt on eternal war as its bread & butter.

Di Vinci’s the Last Supper is by definition a bacchanalia. remember that Bacchus would be torn to pieces, in vain, by the Furies to be reborn the next Spring 1/2

and guess who wrote a whole fucking book about this exact detail; of how the Roman Empire and everything grecorroman was turned into symbols of death when coopted by christians?

Friedrich Nietzsche.

THE BIRTH OF TRAGEDY is a long read on how European culture by focusing only on the Appollonian aspects of ancient culture, became a death cult. so to Nietzsche, christianity is to blame for turning Europe into a bunch of necrophiliac weirdos.

there’s more, but just a humble FWIW. /2

@blogdiva Very problematic philosoph his radical critique of truth in favour of perspectivism; a genealogical critique of religion , a characterisation of the human subject as the expression of competing wills, collectively understood as the will to power.
@blogdiva Fake Christians upset that Christianity borrowed a lot from things around them, Classical gods, Pagan gods, anything that would work with the local population.
@blogdiva They might as well get upset about Jack In The Beanstalk....

@blogdiva Christianity is at it's core about pretty primal guts and gore human sacrifice. Sure, they don't do it right now, but that shouldn't distract from the fact that it claims to have paid off every future sacrifice to God by sacrificing their god to himself. And it celebrates that by pretending to drink their god's blood and eat his flesh every Sunday. Although some hardcore adherents insist they are doing it literally.

It's pretty twisted, edgelordy stuff if you think about it.

@kyonshi @blogdiva Their God killed his own son as a blood sacrifice to himself. What an absolute monster.
I have a son, what in the absolute f*** is wrong with these people?

@B_Whitewind @blogdiva well yeah, but they also claim that Jesus is the same as God, so they celebrate killing their own god as a sacrifice

And this is not some hidden stuff, this is told every single service, often with an image of their tortured, dying god in front of them

@kyonshi @blogdiva I don't always eat my own children and/or myself, but when I do you're going to hell if you don't worship me, the rathful genocidal god of love 👍
@blogdiva @kyonshi I tried to just stay low-key out of all this out of respect. Respect was a mistake, there's nothing there worth respecting.
@kyonshi it is. which makes you think real long and hard about vampires and flesh eating zombies too.
@kyonshi @JoshuaACNewman @blogdiva More specifically, it’s one of the few guts & gore cults that has survived and thrived after millennia. The devil is literally in the details.
