I know this is the funny headlines thread, and the body of the article is almost immaterial, but the first 3 words of the article proper basically sum up why she maybe doesn't want to do acting for awhile:

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I can understand why, though. I looked up Luke 3 just to see what comes before those parts;

23 Now Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry. He was the son, so it was thought, of Joseph,
the son of Heli, 24 the son of Matthat,

It's been done. Heliand

quote:

"Simon Peter, the mighty, the noble swordsman flew into a rage; his mind was in such turmoil that he could not speak a single word. His heart became intensely bitter because they wanted to tie up his Lord there. So he strode over angrily, that very daring thane, to stand in front of his Commander, right in front of his Lord. No doubting in his mind, no fearful hesitation in his chest, he drew his blade and struck straight ahead at the first man of the enemy with all the strength in his hands, so that Malchus was cut and wounded on the right side by the sword! His ear was chopped off, he was so badly wounded in the head that his cheek and ear burst open with a mortal wound! Blood gushed out, pouring from the wound!"

... "Then the Son of God spoke to Simon Peter and told him to put his sharp sword back into its sheath. 'If I wanted to put up a fight against the attack of this band of warriors, I would make the great and mighty God, the holy Father in the kingdom of heaven, aware of it so that He would send me so many angels wise in warfare that no human beings could stand up to the force of their weapons.... We are not to become enraged or wrathful against this violence, since whoever is eager and willing to practice the weapon's hatred, cruel spear-fighting, is often killed himself by the edge of the sword and dies dripping with his own blood."

Jesus ends up being hung from a tree like Odin instead of crucified.

Remember, these parts of the Christian Bible are fanfiction that is meant to write in Jesus as the Messiah even though the facts don't really fit that well. It took them a while to get into their own, culminating in 50 Shades of Revelation.
