    Funny how there isn’t actually a hell in the whole book. I mean it mentions a parable but Gehenna is just a real place on earth where they disposed of trash. No mention of burning eternally, just burning the once and then done. Not so bad really. You’d have to be one of those pagan bastards who believe in like Hades or Nifelheim to believe someone would be tortured eternally after they die if we just go with the main book and not all centuries of later fanfic add ons…

    Also depending on whether or not all that “washing of feet” was as potentially euphemistic as the phrase is used in other places in the book Jesus probably banged a whole lot of dudes at his big party.

    Paul as a pretty obvious sex repulsed asexual wasn’t big on anybody banging anybody. He was like “If you really have to then like… Just your wife I guess but even then ew.”
