I read a great novella about a guy who was a devout Mormon who got sent to a truly chilling version of Hell because "I'm sorry, the correct answer was Zoroastrianism."

"A short stay in hell"
That's the one! Truly fucking appalling.
Never heard of it before, but it seems to have been a major source for inspiration of Judaism, and from that of course Christianity and Islam.
So since Zoroastrianism seems to have been the original monotheistic faith of the 4, it makes sense that the copies of the original are the fake ones. Except of course they are all fake, and none of them make the least bit of sense.
And zoroastrianism split off/evolved from the old proto-Avestan traditions, which themselves evolved alongside/from an ancient Indo-iranian root, of which Hinduism is the only other surviving branch.
Ten holy hecks, all major religions are cousins.
I'd love to know what the most isolated religion is, the one that has the fewest common branches or cousins with any other Extant religions. It's probably something like those handful of languages which only have a handful of people alive who still speak them.
Pastafarianism?
it makes sense that the copies of the original are the fake ones.
Maybe that makes the most sense to you, but if that was bulletproof logic then Islam, Buddhism and Sikhism wouldn't even exist, since they all directly reference older faiths which they "improve upon."
To put it more clearly - their followers wouldn't follow a "re-hash" religion if they believed in the rule of O.G.
But if there's a 'true way' in religion at all, then who's to say the God wouldn't wait until later on before revealing their faith? If humans have free will maybe the God waited to see how they would fare under their own judgement before delivering the message.
And on Christianity-Judaism connection
Christianity considers itself the true 'continuation' of the faith developed by the Hebrews, and a great deal of jews (maybe even the majority) around at the time agreed with this and got baptised.
The Jews then faced persecution for rebelling against the roman empire, and were scattered and had their religious community sabotaged (i.e writings destroyed and centre of worship destroyed).
So to compensate for this some rabbis introduced a new book, the Talmud, which basically lead the jewish faith in a divergent direction from where it was. Modern jews are almost as distinct from Historical Jews (~ 30AD or earlier), as modern christians are.
Tbh, everything flows and changes. There is no "original" that survives without major changes for millenia. People change, language changes, the meaning of words and the understanding of the fundamentals governing day-to-day life changes all the time.
"Original" doesn't exist in real life.
Tell that to Werthers.
Best comment in the whole thread
Exactly, it's like with countries as well as religions, which is why POTUS 47 claimed Iran had no history when it's actually one of the oldest countries on Earth from most people's POV
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Everyone who get in gets a butt-snipe.”
You sonuvabitch, I'm in.
Sigh… unzips
I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going, but apparently not enough to know how the fuck we got here to begin with...?
We got here because horny, all the horny in all the ways through all of history. Those are definitely the creations from that nuns inner desires.
Have you read the Bible?
Bible Black? Of course.
OHHHHHH now I get it 🤦♀️
With this comic, I will now be better prepared. If something like this happens, I will simply say, "Hooray! My very own butt-snipes! Thank you! Where are the tongs?"
Oh, we’re a bit bad at spelling. We meant “thongs”, so they won’t get stuck when they breach to breathe or snipe.
Bad place, it's the bad place...
Wait, Jason figured it out? This one hurts.
I'm impressed that the nun still got into this heaven - she must've been doing something right....
Well, assuming she wanted into Butt Snipe Heaven.
Butt-snipes lookin kinda cute tho... 😳
Which end of the snipe goes where?
Don't worry, they know what to do
Be not afraid.
