" Quoting: Anonymous Coward 44731426 and this is represented by the two baptism, one by water, and by fire, and actually the initiate of Egypt when tested to become a priest was tried by the four elements, when man is raised from dead, it is done through fire, like the phoenix, the risen Lazarus |

Seriously - tell me this doesn't sound absolutely ass-hat: This Jewish guy who was son of an imaginary being that no one can see, hear of feel, can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and drink his blood and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree. Did I get that right? |
