"as you have just born witness."

Americans are dogshit at "bearing ✝️ witness," 😆.

#Christianity

@judgedread @TrevorGoodchild From the above we can quickly see why so many "Christians" (aka heterodox / heretics) are useless and annoying to you.

Vast swaths of "Christians" in America are some flavor of *Calvinist*, meaning they believe in predestination. They think you are a puppet without free will who probably was created for the purpose of being a bad example and subject to eternal punishment for crimes you couldn't decide not to commit. This is exactly as vile and disgusting as it sounds.

Many more "Christians" are some flavor of Talmudic / Jesuitical rules lawyer, they worship some flavor of "the rugpull God" where more than sincere repentance (ideally you try and clean up your own mess) is required to make the cut. "Oops, you unwittingly violated Rule 87b stroke 6, off to Hell with you!" or conversely some version of "we did the arcane magic ritual to put the sins into the chickens so we're okay!"

In contrast, Trevor and I are merely Bad People so there is some hope for us.

Mach 25 re-entry as seen from Ship 38's engine bay.

There are areas of intentionally bare stainless steel on Ship 38's windward side. To see how S38 can fare.

@judgedread Having attended Cathloic school for many years I was floored to learn that there were more gospels besides Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and they were pretty wild. The fact that the bible is curated by the church proves it's a human institution. It doesn't mean we cant learn anything from it or draw some meaning from it, but it's still a very human thing, and we should take it with a grain of salt.

More Starlink mass sims deployed by Ship 38.

@Patricles It's also funny that Protestants are stuck with (most of) the Bible Catholics compiled. No escaping tradition.

The pre-printing press world is a highly controlled memetic space. Any media beyond the level of a wandering minstrel requires considerable capital expenditure. If you put on a play that offends the crown it is trivially easy to shut it down and burn every script.

The most impressive multimedia show in most cities and towns is provided by the Catholic church.

A very different attention economy.

If anyone wonders what history of Christianity I'm talking aboot:
