  • St. Peter’s account of being labelled head of the faith is mostly just Catholic doctrine. Whichever of the apostles ended up in Constantinople, then Byzantion, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and Alexandria could theoretically have claimed similar visions and been taken just as seriously because before power was consolidated Christianity was “run” by a Pentarchy of Patriarchs, one in each of the five holy cities of the faith, and each of whom technically equalled the pope in rome in rank, just in the sense that pope’s descend from St. Peter while other patriarchs descended from different apostles or early converts.

    Had Christianity spread in India you’d probably hear about a Christian Hexarchy with one of the patriarchates based in Chennai.


  • That’s the gospel of Judas, and it’s considered part of Gnostic doctrine, which is basically the one thing all Christians agree on, in that they all agree it is absolute heresy.

    Like basically considered pagan in terms of how “Christian” it’s seen as.

    I actually have an idea for an althist based on if the core gospels were instead replaced with the Gospels of Thomas, Mary, Phillip, and Judas, leading to Christianity developing as a wildly more mystical sort of religion, and possibly even less tolerant of old faiths since Gnostic doctrines, of which all four of those gospels are apparently heavily steeped in, believes everything material and old testament related is literally made by satan, would need to actually research that one lol.









  • I think the implication is meant to be getting the living standard by your own effort instead of through dependency on a supporting figure like a parent.

    Does it make people who can’t reach that standard for any reason not of their own failing feel shitty? Sometimes yeah, but it’s not like it’s to say that you’re earning the right to keep living itself.

    I might but having had a go at it…yeah I’m starting to think that all that joking about how hard finding “the button” is some grand conspiracy of weaponized incompetence, I’ve had a couple partners now to confirm that finding “the button” is damn easy for someone who actually gives a shit about being a reciprocal partner.

    You know you’re doing it right when her thighs are wrapped around your head like she’s trying to use your melon for a Gallagher bit. Hands clutched in your hair is even better, and if she’s giving you a tempo you’ve got her so deep in the mood that all that’s left is to follow the rhythm her body’s setting for you.

    It’s so easy that her body will literally be telling you how to do it even better by the end if you put in the starting effort.
