...I mean, Judas was a disciple too if you believe in that kind of thing. Not high praise or anything.

Judas 2: Electric Bugaloo

Hell, surprisingly, still has room for these fuckers.

In that the allegorical Jesus intentionally associated with the grimier undercurrent of the time and place he was stuck in? Sure. In a way, I guess. Kirk was grime incarnate, in many ways.

In literally any other way that accounts for meaningful context? Lol. No.

He very vocally stood for just about everything that Christ stood against, and anyone with the most miniscule reading comprehension and attention span can see that.

It's a real shame that this awesome planet has such a bad case of human infestation. Keeping to the religious theme, we have more than enough resources and know-how to turn this world into an actualized garden of eden. There's just no money in feeding the poor and genuinely taking care of our kin. Causing problems oftentimes makes more money than solving them, unfortunately. So instead, we're having this stupid-ass, pointless, needless dialogue as the money-machine that has damned us all continues to do it's damndest to see to it that we take this could-be paradise and turn it into an actual, tangible hell.

If we are not all cooked to raw carbon by 50 years from now, I will gladly eat my own foot.

I called this in a satirical comment a few days ago, said they’d eventually call Kirk Jesus Christ Himself

At what point are they just trolling and taking our attention away from what matters when voting

He definitely would have debated him and every point he lost to Jesus, he just would have brought up some shit from the Old Testament as proof that Jesus is wrong.

Or maybe one of Voldemort's minions, or a band of orcs assaulting Helm's Deep, or a stormtrooper in- wait, that one's a little too close. They can imagine him as anything they want, he's worm food now.

Disciple? No. Maybe Saul's partner in crime before Saul became Paul.

It's as hard for a rich man to get into heaven. He would have been the rich guy who wanted in on it, but wanted his money more.

Let them write another fantasy book

He wouldn't have needed 30 pieces of silver.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

Much like Judas.

I can only dream Christianity to have stopped at 12 people!

[–] Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

People who believe this nonsense are mentally ill.

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Get out of here with your religious nonsense.

Actually, correct me if I'm wrong but that was Matthias who replaced Judas Iscariot after he gave himself a neck stretch.

[–] MoonMoon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Yup. He brought the total living disciples back up to 12, but was the 13th to be chosen.

MAGA is a bad book club.
