The priest is blessing hunting rifles at the beginning of the season so that they will provide food and not harm people.
But humans can be food, and less people means more food for the rest of us, which overall doesn't harm people...

I know you’re joking, but humans eating humans is how you get kuru disease. The only safe way to eat a person is to process them into Soylent Green first.
If you don't eat the brain you'll have a much much lower risk (your link suggests about 9x less likely), and if the person you eat wasn't a cannibal then your risk is lower still.
Also worth mentioning that Kuru is a specific disease for natives in Papua new guinea , and it only existed for about 100years and was going away on it's own when the cannibalistic practice was outlawed.
I think the health risks of cannibalism is very exaggerated.
(this is not an endorsement of cannibalism)
I'm just gonna ignore your last sentence
Thanks for the cannibalism tips.
Kuru is just one form of prion disease that was found in one group of people. And from what I remember, it has never been found elsewhere, as it most likely developed as a sub-type of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(another prion disease)
The Donner Party says hello between bites
Thanks. :)
God: "Ok, fine I guess. You guys are no fun."
Unless those people are heathens, of course...
Don't be silly. Heathens aren't people. \s
I've seen this image pre AI, could still be photoshopped, but not necessarily
It could also just be good old fashioned acting...
There is no hand grenade in the picture, I call bullshit
The holy hand grenade of Antioch is a Anglican relic you absolute dolt.
Who are the angles? I didn't vote for them.
The Anglicans of 932?
[contemplates going on a tangent about the Branch Theory of Anglican identity, decides against it]
I beg you to reconsider
So, Anglican theologians like John Keble and John Henry Newman (who later converted to Roman Catholicism) built off of a notion advanced by the 16th Century Anglican Divines that viewed Anglican Christianity as a distinct branch that developed alongside Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy. Things like the Synod of Whitby are cited as evidence that the Roman church worked hard to bring this distinct form of the church inline with Roman polity and practices (in some views Celtic Christianity is viewed as being part of this wider “English” branch of the faith). This resulted in a long-standing tenuous relationship with English Christianity and the Catholicism of continental Europe (reflected in things like the Sarum rite, etc.). So when the Reformation happened, this gave the opportunity for English Christianity to pick up where they left off and live into that distinct mode of being.
Given this, according to branch theory proponents, there would be Anglicans in the 900s. They were just put under the veil of Roman Christianity at the time.
Do they deal holy damage now?
+10 holy damage
+3 critical hit chance
+2 accuracy
-5 damage against atheists
Bad news on the religious beliefs of deer.....
Yeah I think many humans worship the deer religion. I hear people say "Deer God..." when they pray.
Meaning, they still hurt?
How much damage can a human take though?
Based on these stats, going to guess 10-15HP, tops.
Cops once shot an innocent bystander more than 100 times and he didn't die
By the grace of the Omnissiah
Blessed is the round, and blessed is the cartridge for it holds the round and all of its fury
Blessed is the magazine for receiving the round and holding it close.
Blessed is the barrel, for providing direction and guidance to the round
And most of all, blessed is Kurt Cobain for giving the round purpose, and for receiving all of its love within his body 😌
Yes I know, it was a shotty.
This is my rifle
This is my nun
This is for shooting
This is for fun
Sigh. I would dearly love a proper bolt-action rifle. I've got a .22 (my first gun!) and a .22 magnum (left handed!), but zero excuse for a "real" caliber as I don't hunt and my range at camp only goes out 100'.
Love the Marlin 1895SBL from Jurassic Park but I'm not hunting dinosaurs or 2,000lb. bison. Plus, the .45-70 (AR-15 round on the far left) would probably amputate my skinny armpit.
More on point, the first American Pope! I'll look forward to reading more about how the College of Cardinals landed on this guy so quickly. Not sure I've seen a Pope chosen that fast!
look into a .270. not a small caliber when you're used to a 22 but not massive in the whole scheme of things. they're quite fun at that range you were describing too, and they give you the opportunity to go a lot longer if you ever need/want it.
a .270 was my first hunting rifle, if a scrawny 11 year old could use it I have faith in you :)
.270 is a neat caliber. I rarely hear about it (not that I frequent gun discussions) but am familiar with it because that’s the caliber of my dad’s deer hunting rifle which also belonged to my WW2 veteran grandfather.
And yeah it’s not very comparable to a 22 except for starting with a two. It’s a high powered rifle. You can think of it like a .30-06 but with a slightly smaller and faster bullet.
oo I bet that rifle was beautiful. I'd love to have an older hunting rifle, there's something about how they age that makes them gorgeous to me.
I had a savage .270, it was a smaller model they made especially for youth. loved that thing.
I remember my dad telling me decades ago how it was such quality because it was old enough to have forged parts rather than machined.
I am nearly certain I don’t have easy access to a photo of it, but it was a classic look. Bolt action rifle with a dark barrel, all wood body and stock, modest scope, and a leather carrying strap.
I don’t really admire the look of guns any more than I might with something like a power drill. But in this case it’s associated with nice memories of when Dad let me shoot the big rifle from grandpa, or just hiking through the woods with my dad while he was the one carrying it.
For some background, I’m obviously American, but I also had an early childhood out in the country. I mean “I played in the corn field that bordered my giant back yard” country. I knew the farmer too, because he’d let my dad hunt on his land. Sometimes we’d hang out in his house and BS on the way in or out.
I haven't shot a 45-70 but I have a 35rem and have shot a breech load 450 bushmaster. It'll put a little sting on you but it's not that bad. Just make sure to keep the butt of the stick firm against your shoulder. I wouldn't want more than 5 or 6 rounds at a time on the 450 though.
If you want a lot of fun at the range, blackpowder is a riot.
We have an American Pope. But it not being Micheal Ian Black is a wound my younger self may never recover from.
Are there any other tables he blessed besides just bolt actions? Disappointing.
