      I love how seriously Catholics took their fanfic to the point that they have Saints based solely on myth and “cool story bro” scenarios

        You will be shocked but absolutely everything in Catholicism is based on myth and “cool story bro” scenarios.

          I guess it was like doing Instagram pranks without the internet. “Yoooo, an angel just totally appeared to me” just to get attention back in that days when everyone was bored as fuck. If someone believes your bullshit, and writes it down and hides it for a thousand years, suddenly it’s a religious fact

            Check it out, it’s the bone from Jesus’s boner! Totally legit! My guy found it back there beside the boulder.

            Man, I don’t think there are real bones inside boners. You’re full of shit. Besides, didn’t the dude get reincarnated? What, did he forget that bone?

            Yeah well, go fuck yourself. I’m gonna go show this to someone who knows about this sort of thing.

            2000 years later, the plaque on a gilded chest reads “The Sacred Bone of the Boner”

            Boner bone? Pfft, everyone knows that boners don’t have actual bones inside them.

            Dude it says it right there on the plaque, who are you gonna believe, some dumb old science teacher or the Pope

              I read somewhere about some secret tooth cherished by some sect that was destroyed by grinding it to dust, mixing with shit and throwing in to the ocean. But guess what? Some fishermen said that he totally found the tooth restored floating on a leaf next to the place where they threw it out. You can’t fight believes with real world methods.

      think again

      that is THE MERC that started it all, merc zero.

      “The Veil was owned by the Leonelli family until 1608. Pancrazio Petrucci, a soldier married to Marzia Leonelli, stole the Veil from his father-in-law’s house. A few years later, Marzia sold it for 400 scudi to Doctor Donato Antonio De Fabritiis to pay a ransom demand for her husband, who was then a prisoner in Chieti.”

    IF Trump gets sentenced for his coup, I want a recreation of this photo where he walks to court and someone is selling his ugly Shoes.

      Coup attempt. He failed even at that. While he was the most powerful man on the planet.

      He’s already selling his AI mugshots, he’s got NFT’s (I think I have one to show you). You think that grifter gives a shit about his failed coup attempt?
