    There’s no sense to be made anywhere in the story of Jesus, but I was wondering if one unwritten tradition (or maybe written) would be the equipmentless angels from Dogma (Alan Rickman’s Metatron).

      Idk, the huge clit thing is kinda thematic. It would be cool if angels could be tempted by pleasure, even create life, but doing so would be super painful.

        One of my favorite comments about Jesus is, “So basically Jesus has the morality of an average woman, but he’s a man so that makes him special somehow?”

          Seeee, my theory explains a lot of inconsistencies about Jesus. A moralistic man from ancient Mesopotamia is just too far fetched. I need to put together a slide show for the pope so we can retcon this.

            If Jesus was trans, wouldn’t have leaned harder into stereotypical masculity? Maybe that’s when he took up carpentry.

              I was thinking more of an intersex situation.

                  rabbis also had a tradition that the first human being was both male and female.

                  These rabbis have obviously been reading my sub stack and have been stealing my ideas. They will be hearing from my lawyer.
