Not true. I tried once.

The first trick is knowing that there’s a right package. The second trick is knowing what the right package is.

Use the thing that Phage the Untouchable had to use to eat.
It had claws to peel her lips back, and an extender that would push very raw meat down her throat (it would start to rot the moment it touched her, so the fresher the better)

It was Tony.

Was it Todd? Hm

The term is TERF.

Ooh, right.

Oh, right. They were fleeing from dying there though.

You mean Gehenna, the literal place that was just a garbage dump around the corner? “Don’t go to that place, man, it sucks. Somebody lit a trash pile on fire two weeks ago and it’s still burning now. It’s gross.”

Or did you mean Hades, the place John (no, not that John (probably)) wrote about many years after Jesus’s death? In the book of Revelation, the whole of which is full of obvious symbolic imagery? A) not Jesus and B) still not “hell”.

Ohhhhh you were talking about Dante Alighieri, the guy born twelve hundred years later, who invented our modern concept of hell whole cloth.

“Hell”, a translation of any of the three words Gehenna, Hades, and Tartarus, show up anywhere between 13 and 23 times in the entire new testament. That wide range is due to differences in translations and source texts.

Nobody talks about Jesus talking about hell more than modern preachers who profit off of making people fearful. You know, the exact people Jesus would have thrashed out of the temple with a whip.

There is a story in the Apocrypha (decanonized Bible books) where childhood Jesus turns another kid into a tree. I like to think it’s the same tree.

So you’re saying they… left the place where they were in order to avoid a form of danger.

What.
I assumed the same thing.

Aldo’s Adventure would like a word

Yeah!
Somebody broke down that process, what it’s actually like. Jesus was sitting there, cold and calculated, for multiple hours, and then strolled into the temple.
It wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment knee-jerk reaction. There was time and intentionality behind it.

I remember when I thought Arch was unreliable.

Sink or swim! Embrace chaos! Constant confusion builds character.

You reminded me that I have a Windows VM.

Cheesesteak basketball. Taxi apple sponge.

What’s the bit about how long it takes to braid a whip?

well you’ve never seen Barnacle Boy and Squidward in the same photo.
