masters obey the state (render unto Cesar)
Is that really how you interpret that passage? It was "render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and render unto God what is God's" Isn't it? So it's literally calling out the romans for thinking they own everything when they don't. It seems to be saying the opposite of what you think it is saying. Jesus was crucified by the Romans because he stood against the status quo and was a threat to their power in the region.
Not a politician, but still relevant.
Seems like Thomas was the apostle who knew where to find the really good shit, probably made top tier Bethelem brownies.
But yeah, early Christian writings are a fascinating topic, just so radically different from the codified stuff that came later, and a lot more like other "cults" at the time (not in the modern sense of the word).
That is extremely funny! This is a really good bit.
Maybe new voice work since the original game's is so bad.
That's half of what makes oblivion fun though. https://youtube.com/shorts/eoztSnj_CcU
Personally, I'm of the opinion that all of Paul's letters should be considered non-canonical. He was just a dude who claimed to have found Jesus and then spoke for him, and because he was a Roman citizen, he could travel freely throughout the empire, so his version of Christianity was the first version most people heard of. His ideas carry far more weight than someone like Mary Magdalene, or most of the apostles. Which is just absurd to me.
So there was a lot of speculation about why he joined Trump's administration in the first place, a lot of people thought it was standard billionaire grift, a way to make money. Some people thought he was so vain and naive that he genuinely thought that he could fix the US economy. But some people wondered if it was just for attention and popularity.
And holy shit, looks like that last group was right. He thought being a politician would somehow make him popular with everybody. What a fragile ego he has, like, toddlers have more self-awareness and understanding than he does.
I have no idea what conservatives the world over act like this. It's like that here in Aus too. We had 9 years of the conservative coalition government running this country into the ground, and then 3 years of labor slowly reversing that trend, and all our conservatives conveniently forget that their own party put us in this state and just blame labor for it.
I think that's tongue in cheek? It reads kind of like a joke, at least to me. They literally mention the pope appearing before the public after the Vance audience, so I don't think they're taking this idea too seriously, especially since they keep calling Vance a "trained marine" and stuff like that, seems more like they're taking the piss.
I don't disagree that Nintendo is trying to squash potential competition, though when digimon came out, Game Freak actually was the small indie company they pretend to be today, and wouldn't have had the resources to sue Bandai-Namco, even if they wanted to, and since this lawsuit is claiming to be about game mechanics, digimon has nothing in common with pokemon, except that there are cartoon creatures and you battle them in a (usually) turn based way. The original Digimon world for Playstation didn't really have any overlapping mechanics with pokemon apart from standard RPG mechanics. So the circumstances are radically different, which is why I used nexomon as an example, as it is mechanically identical to pokemon, but isn't seen as a big enough threat to warrant a lawsuit (Putting their game on nintendo consoles probably helped with that)
