Weed works differently on people. Just in the people that I've smoked with, I've seen extreme paranoia, extreme lethargy, literal giggle fits that last for hours (me), straight up chill, and one guy that had focus that put meditation masters to shame.
"And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl sitting on her own in a small café in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything."
God creates man and gives him creation, 1 rule: don't gain knowledge of good and evil. Man breaks rule. Man tries to restore things through sacrifices, while at the same time happily going off and making idols. God says enough and says the only substitute for our sin is his own son. Jesus rocks up, upsets everyone who wanted an army, upsets all the religious people, gets sacrificed. Sends holy spirit for guidance. Now anyone can be forgiven, and as a thanks, man continues to persicute each other
God sent himself to Earth to get himself killed but got scared and asked himself why he had forsaken himself. The holy spirit, who was also God, stayed out of it.
"Yo, kill your son" Ay, aight. "lol jk don't do it" *knife a nanometer from stabbin a bitch* Come on, bruh, really? Spent all day sharpening this knife and preppin this shit, come ooooooon
Old Testament God is wrathful, smites way too hard, and feels bad? IDK he doesn't like, apologize - he just kinda decides one day that there needs to be a REALLY big change, for reasons that are unclear. So he makes this teenage girl give birth to Himself in a barn, then disappears till he's like thirty. He's kind of a pinko and he's all like "hey, love your neighbor" and "let Me come in you." It's different so everyone hates it and they kill him. But like, he doesn't really die tho (allegedly)
He doesn't make an appearance. That MF is always in the cave talking secrets to this old guy. You know saying things like hey you should marry your adopted son's wife.. make adoption illegal so it won't look weird.
Or things like, hey your underage wife won't sleep with you? Playing with toys all the time? Make toys illegal bro.. Seriously how does that one make sense? Toys resembling anything is not allowed? The fuck!!
Bro you got it backwards. Allah is like the top guy. Like the father in Christianity. Prophet is just a guy who is the messenger. Not the son of Allah but some guy who is a terrible person and just made up shit that we are still dealing with. His stories are the exact same as Jewish and Christian stories. He just added 'al' to everything. Note: I hate all religions equally and I'm pissed off that this one religion escapes criticism in the name of victimhood all the time.
Well there is this yoked dude who is a major badass until mommy milkers seduces him, he falls asleep and she cuts his hair off which lets all the people he was fighting cut his head off. Or two girls date raping their father to get knocked up. Or maybe a short king roaming the countryside collecting foreskins. Jesus also kills a bunch of pigs. Idk
Agreed. I think it's a very good possibility Gnosticism is the true version of Christianity, which also happens to be the most fascinating and makes the most sense overall
The fun stuff is all the heterodoxies that got ejected from Antiquity to the Late Middle Ages from reincarnation to demiurges and divine feminine. Catharism is really funny as it goes from egalitarian if slightly matriarchal to being SO misogynistic it causes a stack overflow error to becoming shockingly feminist for the time.
The only interesting parts of "Christianity" are from the Book of Enoch, and that is apocryphal to everyone but the Ethiopians, but hey, it made for good source material for the main story in "Supernatural".
The Book of Enoch actually uses Revelations as a framing device for the story, as I recall.
Something akin to "You think the end of the world is bad? Let me tell you about the FIRST 'End of the World', mah boy— someday Darren Aranofsky will turn this into a major motion picture!"
the crazy south Korean Christian cults would like a word... (way worse than American Christianity imo, but there are many bad versions in many countries)
while we're here, who wants to explain why there are so many goddamn crosses and religion references in Squid Game? I tried googling it once and every friggin result was just people who apparently have no brains going "duh why did they put crosses on some of the caskets?" because I guess it wasn't enough of a second-screen show for them to follow basic plot points.
Like, I know Christianity is pretty big in South Korea, but they're so prevalent that they have to be a symbolism thing.
There are at least 200 different denominations of Christianity in the US. Which one is the perverted American version? Which one is it the rest of the world observes?
LOL right? there's also stupid perverted versions in other countries too but that's not popular to comment and won't get upvotes. Have y'all even HEARD of the wild christian cults in Korea???
I haven't, but knowing the Christofascists like to spread around their religion, it wouldn't be surprising to find equally batshit groups throughout the world. That said, the US definitely doesn't have an exclusive on this crap, though sometimes ours might be more out in the open.
ours is only "out in the open" because Western social media is dominated by US posts. We think it's happening more in the US and worse in the US because it's simply more online/accessible. That's pretty much the only reason why so many US stereotypes and news prevails, especially here on imgur. Imgur acts like the US is the worst country on the planet with the worst leader doing the worst shit, but unfortunately it's very much a global trend. Even niche villages off the radar.

The weirdest part isn't that he's an Indian guy retelling in Indian myth and an urban parlance but that he sounds like Mitch hedberg while doing it

I would watch so much abridged religious or mythological stuff like this!

A while back I thought it would be a cool spinoff to do like Drunk History, but it’s Drunk Mythology.

Yeah. I enjoyed the Drunk history too!

Weed works differently on gods

gronzilla
And it works differently at high altitude
Dxoh
Does it really? I'd be tempted to try it in the mountains if that were the case.
gronzilla
It would make some sense, but I'd try it with some backup plans :)
Dxoh
Probably not, then. I don't really like how Marijuana affects me a sea level (ish). Probably won't be much different at high altitudes.

Uh if he can put an elephants head on, why not just put the other head back on?
Why would the elephant have the boys memory?

Because elephants never forget or some shit. I don't know.

Because that wouldn't be special and memorable

I still don't understand why it's easier to put an elephants head on the boy than his own chopped off head.
WillemHellfire
There's no fun in that, I guess.
epistlero
maybe they put his head on the elephant ?
sundaymondayhippyday
Oh I like this !
That means there isn’t a headless elephant waking up somewhere
Dxoh
He waited too long to replace the head, and needed a fresh head?
smhippy
But not a fresh body?
Dxoh
Brain death is pretty irreversible. Other organs take a bit longer before they are too damaged to revive or repair.
hairyinire
He smashed that head.

The boys head was put on a monkey (another story) and wasn't available.

Hanuman? He has Ganesha's head? Is it? Or is it another boy's head?

I think jesus was supposed to be the apology... but yeah, christianity is really, far and away, the most boring religion.

Also Islam please. They've been flying under the radar. Their stories are cuckoo. there are no gods involved.

Isn't Allah their god? You know, the same dude the Jews and Christians worship, just with a different nickname?

Allah is a prophet. Abridged version: moses-->Jesus--Allah. They just think Allah came and gave the last/best set of directions. Roughly

Christianity just stole the boring parts of the other religions.

What? You mean like Christmas?

They took lots of symbolism and mythology from other religions, then tweaked it to be less fun.
The Virgin Mary, the resurrection of Christ, lots of other things were taken from other religions.
