    I’d say it’s as fair as any other approach hahah. We’re talking about fairy tales essentially, so I find it a pretty compelling argument to point out the wildly disparate beliefs of actual people throughout history. Just because they’ve homogenized largely to this point (there are still VAST differences in even just the abrahamic religions of today, but not as much as there were during its active spread and creation) doesn’t really remove that history.

    Either way, not trying to punch at your original comment, just love exploring and expanding on the different beliefs of the past, particularly apocryphal ones.

    Eeeeeh, depending on your interpretation, the physical body Jesus died from the iron spikes, the spirit Christ did not. The passage about the iron tools seems to be more symbolizing keeping as much of the labor away from the temple as possible.

    It is a fun idea to think of the Christian God as a demon, weak to iron as some folk lore describe them. Kinda fits with the Gnostic demiurge too, but that’s (the demiurge) distinctly not Christ.

    I didn’t get any mockery from you directly, no. I have a bit of a sarcastic or overly dramatic flair from time to time, so I do apologize if it came across as aggravated or anything.

    I think the most empathetic thing to do for all parties would be to repair the wall. Then no one has to relive this obvious mistake. I’m merely making a case for extending empathy rather than judgement.

    For what its worth, yeah, you can be scared of someone who has broken a wall. People react to things differently, I’m not going to say you’re not allowed to, and would quite prefer everyone be treated with respect and empathy. Honestly, though- is having a terror response to a simple broken wall with no context ANY better than (this is from another comment in the thread, I know these aren’t your words) having an anger response to losing at fantasy football?

    Edit: ooooh I did say let’s not extend mockery. That was directed at the meme in general, the building mgmt mocking the situation rather than just fixing it.
