Like the book of Matthew. Seriously, Jesus is riding two donkeys? Two fucking donkeys?

And people have been taking this shit seriously for two thousand years...I can't even.

Yeah, I read about this. I believe Matthew was really desparate to fulfil Old Testament prophecies, so he was scouring the texts for things to write, but his ability to translate wasn't very good. The text he tries to refer to only mentioned one donkey, but mentioned it twice, and he thought it was two separate donkeys. It's a dead giveaway as to what the gospel authors were up to.

And yeah... people take this shit seriously? Beggars belief.
