They invented themselves a deliverer who ends up getting nailed to a pole by Roman soldiers?
And Padraic thinks I'm a genius?
I think that honor should go to you Rhythm.
An imaginary made-up deliverer from Roman occupation who ends up at the end of the made-up story being beaten and nailed to a pole by the Romans.
I confess I would have never thought of that.
That makes so much sense!
You're a pure genius Rhythm!
I can only sit here awe-struck with admiration of your genius.
I can't believe that I didn't think of that myself. Now that you've revealed the truth it seems so obvious in hindsight. I feel like a complete fool to have imagined that the rumors might have been sparked by an actual person.
Christian - A moron who believes that an all-benevolent God can simultaneously be a hateful jealous male-chauvinistic pig.
Wiccan - The epitome of cerebral evolution having mastered the magical powers of the universe and is in eternal harmony with the mind of God.
Atheist - An ill-defined term that means something different to everyone who uses it.

Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
Clearly Jesus (a fictitious character or otherwise) will forgive people if they merely know not what they do
For the Bible Tells us so!
