Good person: idk I just try to be nice to people and do onto others

Ex-Manhattan socialite who broke her brain doing too much coke: SO WE HAVE TO EAT JESUS

Catholicism 5th edition has been very controversial for being too simple and accessible to wide audiences, elitist players want to go back to 3.5

We’re waiting for Vatican 3 to drop soon. It should clear everything up

Mfw the map game is Crusader Kings

I had family that prayed the rosary and all that stuff and still weren't weird like this.

It's even worse, they're saying that even if you were to follow the letter of the law, you're doomed to hell anyway because all the sacraments are invalid since the Church itself went too far by letting women do the readings in Mass or whatever.

I am pretty sure that all catholic rites and rituals are literally by definition byzantine

"So anyway, it's best to pick Charmander as your starter because..."

Beyond parody for centuries

"How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" (alternatively "How many angels can stand on the point of a pin?") is a phrase that, when used in modern contexts, can be used as a metaphor for wasting time debating topics of no practical value, or on questions whose answers hold no intellectual consequence, while more urgent concerns accumulate.[1]

The phrase was originally used in a theological context by 17th century Protestants to mock medieval scholastics such as Duns Scotus[2] and Thomas Aquinas.

I literally cannot fathom a person being a Christian with the knowledge that there's like 57 different fucking flavors of christianity.

I mean, to be fair, we are communists ourselves…

Based on archeology and stuff, early jews were Samaritans who were one of many religious sects. The whole Egypt thing is a myth as far as can be told.

Every time I try to read a philosophy textbook and it goes into arguments for the existence of any sort of gods, or, more precisely, into the existence of the Christian one, I marvel at those arguments not being dismissed immediately, given how childish they are.

In particular, I have encountered this in a textbook recently: 'god is the most perfect being imaginable and if it did not exist, it would not be perfect'. By that logic, because I can imagine a 10^{100000 year old person who openly lives as such and is well-known by everybody in the world, and because to be 10}100000 year old and to live that person would have to exist, such a person exists. Also, Pascal's Wager is probably very well known at this point and how silly and poorly thought-out it is.
Nonsense like that makes me think that philosophy in general is a silly field that lacks any sort of rigour. Hell, they seem to be amazed at the 'cogito ergo sum' line, despite the fact that in the practical contexts where it is true it is obvious, and in the contexts where it isn't true it is, well, not true.

Hot take: philosophers in general should be forced to adopt higher standards of rigour.

The myths of Sheogorath are all true, even the lies. Especially the lies.

The tradcaths keep accidentally inventing Protestantism because they think the papacy is too woke and soy

That’s the whole point of christianity in general. Essentially, the bible is the done deal. Priests exist to guide people towards the book. But you’re supposed to have faith that it’s all real and makes sense even if you don’t understand it. Questioning the validity of x miracle or y sacrament is essentially the equivalent of lucifer demanding equality with God or Eve wanting all knowledge

Dasha is a right-wing freak these days, turns out those brain worms are contagious

Oh yeah

You basically summed it up.

It's more like once the money dried up for the socialist and progressive movement outside of some podcasts and the DSA, Dasha and Anna just decided to jump onto the next easiest band-wagon, which in the New York arts scene is Alt-right but hot because we're ironic about it and everyone involved does cocaine and has money. Then Dasha got a bit part in Succession, and now has really leaned into the trad-Cath.

At this point they are basically on the same tired hot-girl podcast grind, except instead of petty DSA stuff it's petty NY art scene and weird religious grievances stuff. They are just provocateurs and trend followers at heart.
