We've known for a while that L. Ron Hubbard tried to collaborate on a movie with Leni Riefenstahl, but someone just found a full script in the UK's archives.

Elron spent like a week in the Pacific attacking what he swore up and down was a Japanese submarine but was actually a rock.

Here’s the interview I was thinking of: https://youtu.be/O9AGVARpqdk Harlan Ellison was a prick but he was also a pretty fascinating guy.

He also claims he was severely injured in combat (note: he does not have a Purple Heart) and that through the power of his mind he was able to completely repair his body. He was basically the prototypical stolen valor guy running around telling people he had like 30 medals, many of which didn't exist during WWII and others that don't make sense.

Most of them still think Jesus is some magical white dude. Despite, y'know, a manger surrounded by camels. And sand. And 3 wise men that look suspiciously Middle Eastern.

The Three Wisemen were Magi (or Zoroastrians) meaning they probably came from even further east from Persia and Central Asia. In some traditions one is Indian, one is Arabian, and one is Persian. In other traditions there's twelve of them because the bible is a bit vague about all this allowing for a bunch of speculation and fan fiction. Here's a modern recreation of how the Wisemen might've looked like

There are three named gifts presented by the Magi (gold, frankincense, myrrh) and that’s it. That’s where their number comes from. You got three gifts for Christmas, so you must have three daddies, right?

If Jesus was born today the wise men from the east would bring him a PS5, an iPhone, and a 2021 Toyota Tacoma. Joseph like Jesus Christ, how am I supposed to afford insurance and gas?

Stating to see things differently, I think jesus was probably just another enormous rear end in a top hat creep like trump or any other horribly cult leader, and everything known about him is revisionist bullshit.

Who What Now posted:Nobody knows how the trinity works! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXoKuX0xmog Ghost Leviathan posted:Pretty sure it was Roman-era shorthand for 'expensive and fancy stuff'. No, it was Jewish shorthand for "stuff you give to holy people". Gold because it was valuable, frankincense because it was what was burned in the Temple when giving an offering to God, and myrrh oil because that was what was traditionally used to anoint holy persons and kings.

My take's always been that Jesus was just the one guy with a shred of common sense in that era. "For DAD'S SAKE, stop fighting over the food, you idiots. Look; Cut up the fish and bread, and now there's sandwiches for everyone instead of you fighting over individual loaves and fish." "Look; get some twine, tie it to a stick, bait a metal hook on the end. Now you can get your own fish and stop asking me to do it for you". "This isn't water, I made wine from those tubers and it just came out clear. And stronnngg, Holy Ghost is this stuff strong..."
