  • This is from college classes decades ago, so I can’t find you something offhand. I would definitely have been able to tell you more back in the 1990s.

    Edit: I do remember that Job starts out with God gathering his sons together. I think possibly the adversary is meant to be one of these sons, who would obviously be gods themselves. But they are interpreted as angels today. Again, because reasons.


  • To be fair, it was literally just to see the art. My family is Jewish but my parents absolutely loved art and instilled a love of art in me very early on.

    Fun story- my dad, much like me, had very stereotypical Jewish features- the big, hooked nose, the curly hair, that sort of thing. So right outside the Vatican, we’re looking at a souvenir stand, and the man behind the stand says to my father, in Yiddish, “what’s a nice Jewish boy like you doing in a place like this?” My dad replies back, also in Yiddish (this is all second-hand, I don’t know any Yiddish), “what’s a nice Jewish boy like you doing in a place like this?” And he said, “a man’s got to make a living!”

    I think it’s pretty shitty how few human corpses Ray Kroc skinned on his own. Ed Gein did all the corpse-skinning himself. Rich man Kroc got the butler to skin human corpses when he wanted human skin.

    Edit: Look, Kroc fans, I know you’re mad, but the fact is that Ed Gein was a working man who did a working man’s job flaying a corpse. Ray Kroc would never get his own hands dirty digging up a grave and you know it.

    And while we’re at it, did you ever see Sam Walton’s “woman suit” sewn together out of the corpses of exhumed women? It’s shit. Just shit. Gein knew how to make himself a “woman suit.”





  • I had to explain to someone here on Lemmy that Satan in Job is a rival god, rather than the Satan Christians think, of since it came from before Judaism was monotheistic. The word literally just means ‘adversary.’ Job is about two gods having a wager. But Christians (and the rest of the western world by extension) are ignorant of the fact that the largest role anyone called Satan has in the Bible has nothing to do with Christian mythology.

    And then they decide to conflate the serpent in the Garden of Eden with Satan because reasons.

    Edit: Note to self. Do not try to write longer posts with your phone.
