Look, I’m not Catholic or any kind of Christian, but…

Catholics do not believe that Jesus’ blood turns into wine.

So… acting like they do… is just trolling, basically.

Its not a joke, because it doesn’t stem from a thing that someone actually believes.

It is simply asserting that someone believes a thing they do not… which is trolling.

There are a vast plethora of ludicrous things that varying kinds of Christians believe are literally true, that you could make an actual joke out of.

Yes but that’s backwards of what the comic is representing.

As I said… I don’t think any kind of Christian believes that Jesus’ blood ever turns into wine.

That doesn’t happen anywhere in the text.

So… the joke is… based off of a thing that doesn’t happen?

It would be like making a joke based off the idea that Moses can summon floods.

He can’t. He’s never shown to be able to do that, he’s shown to be a water bender who can move water out of the way, but not generate it.

Yeah, I don’t get this.

In John, there’s a wedding and the planners forgot to bring the booze, so Jesus tells some dudes to fill a bunch of casks with water, and then poof kablamo, they are made into wine via the power of Jesus being irritated.

There’s certainly a lot of imagery and focus on the blood of Jesus in the Bible… but the whole transsubstantiation/consubstantiation thing is about … the reverse of this, wine either transforming into, or metaphorically representing the blood of Christ.

I am… not aware of any part of the Bible nor sect/branch/denomination/church that teaches that Jesus at any point turns his blood into wine.

I don’t think that even happens in any of the ‘expanded universe’ / Gnostic texts.

In summary:

Wine -> Blood? Yes*.

Water -> Wine? Yes.

Blood -> Wine? No.

… and I am only happy when it rains.

Let’s just say its not impossible to crack the firmware on many of these.

omfg, BlueSky continues to just knock it out of the park.

Incredible.

It was like less than a week or two ago I was trying to explain that BlueSky is just rainbow capitalism, that is centralized, and will censor you, just give it time.

A year ago some goober was extremely convinced that it was totally possible and not actually that difficult to set up your own Relay, so, it actually is federated and decentralized the same way Lemmy or Mastadon are!

Year later, nobody has gotten around to doing it.

And now it has a hallucinatory theft powered autocomplete machine… that… ostensibly exists… to… manage their feeds.

Because apparently that is so complex or difficult that it… needs an assistant?

And this was made by a former member of the board who apparently just left so that he could focus in his side project, which is totally different from BlueSky, but also only works with BlueSky.

Just chef’s kiss, mwah.

We need a ‘Fell for it Again’ meme variant for turbolibs.

There’s 0 difference between TwitterBrains and RedditMods.

Well ok, TwitterBrains are better at scamming people, at least they’re getting paid.

… I miss Tom.

Just bring back MySpace ‘Classic’.

Right, and prior to the movie coming out… how many people had read that book… compared to how many people have seen a piece of media from Star Wars or Marvel or some other well known IP?

The Martian came out in 2015.

11 years ago.

In 11 years… how many well known IPs were rebooted or continued or reimagined, as major movies?

How many times did Hollywood release another version of Skyrim?

I assume they called it Project Hail Mary because actually crafting a well written story out of a basically new/unknown IP is the actual last thing that anyone in Hollywood would contemplate as the basis of a movie.

Make sure to squat with proper form, don’t wanna pull a muscle.

… Maybe if you just dive straight into the main course instead of enjoying the appetizer first…

I’m excited, anon!

I may or may not love the soup itself, but I love that you tried, and that you offer it as a gift.

=D

… I think I need to lay off the stuff for a bit, sheesh.

I was talking about the ‘and then sue them’ part.

Sueing someone… is an ‘offensive’ legal action, its something you initiate, not ‘defend’ against.

Right, because everyone can afford those legal fees.

And its sure to be worth the time and money, netted out.

… why did I post this …

On the bright side, maybe an indie dev can him for cheap!

… uggghhhhh…

I am equally annoyed that it took them this long to finally get around to it, but happy that they did.
