And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Nope thats how a Swan would look if we used the same imagery we use for dinosaurs based on finosaur bones. Its called skin wrapping and most paleontological drawings for years were done without acknowledgement of things like fat, feathers, musculature. So when you do the same to modern animals you can see why the depictions are so far off.

Crocodiles pretty much ruled freshwater and shoreline habitats for millions of years beginning with the Mesozoic, but one day they meet hippos and found the one prey animal they cannot touch.

Oh poo poo if he's legit doing this that means Jesus is going to hell or some such. My memory of what Jesus was up to before walking out the tomb on Sunday is hazy.

If someone has to make Jesus Goes to Hell: The Final Passion then yeah I guess Gibson might be a reasonable choice to direct. He's a huge piece of poo poo but I only saw Apocalypto recently and who else could get the funding to get a movie like that made?

He had to spend three days in hell because God dropped the keys to the pearly gates.

Apocalypto is a really good movie that I absolutely understand anyone writing off without watching, because logically it should be terrible.

My awful 7th grade religion class is coming back to me.

The Harrowing of Hell Hotel is this movie where a bunch of lost souls end up in Hell, represented by a cheapo high-rise hotel with neon signs outside every window. Each of them start scheming and dreaming, seeking to reiterate the sins they committed in life. The story is told in multiple vignettes each taking place in different rooms. Each ends with a ripped Jesus kicking down the door of a hotel room, blood on his face.

It's an artifact from the Judaic roots, Jewish Orthodoxy doesn't have a Satan so it doesn't really have a Hell. It's does have a place called Sheol where the dead wait for the resurrection and judgement. Some of the older scriptures have Jesus going there to carry the souls of the just into Heaven as part of the fulfillment of his covenant but most of them were declared non-Canon at the Council of Nikea. Nowadays the only thing that mentions Jesus descending is the Apostle's Creed.

There we go! Like I said, my memory was very hazy and in retrospect that teacher had some real bad opinions about other religions that weren't Catholicism.

Nothing like being told everyone is basically hosed to suffer in hell because Whoops, you didn't get signed up with the Catholics!

I for one am all for Jesus whipping some asses while turning the other cheek to spit one liners.

gently caress now I just want to watch Last Temptation of Christ again, mostly because Defoe as Jesus loving owns.

That's why I mentioned Wisdom Tree. They used to be developers that created Menace Beach, a platformer infamous for literal 'cutscenes' where the protagonist's kidnapped girlfriend gets more of her dress torn off the further you progress. When they rebranded as a Christian game developers, they reskinned Menace Beach as Sunday Funday, a game where a boy must fight enemies on his way to church.

I saw the trailer for it and then read that it was awful and had an idiotic twist. I was all: “come on, they can’t do THAT!”. Looked it up and turns out they did. Sounds amazingly awful.
