Cool as hell! Finally I can have a conversation with a Christian that knows his gospel, and means it. So, did Jesus ride into Jerusalem on one ass or two?
I'd say any motif story that includes a selfish stalker who commits a fake suicide to clamor for attention had to ride in on an ass , but it would be an ass riding on an ass.
And if I am offending Christians, good, because claims of virgin births and surviving rigor mortis have never been true and deserve no lick of value as claims. Otherwise Thor makes lightening because we observe lightening.
The only truth about Christianity that can be proven is that someone started a cult and managed to market it. But none of the fantastic claims in that comic book were ever true even if the book is peppered with real names and real people.
