Anybody up for a random meme dump?

Aramaic was the language of most of the original scripts and Jesus btw....

Why do I know this? My brother-in-law speaks, reads and writes Aramaic. Where did he learn this? He's a Franciscan Monk and has been for 35 years. He's read a lot of the original writings that formed the Bible and many others from that time period as part of what he does....

Fun fact... he was one of several Franciscans consulted when Mel Gibson make the Passion of the Christ which had Aramaic dialogue.

I believe those scripts were translated into Hebrew... then Greek... then to English in some cases.

I was being facetious. There are certain denominations of Christians who view the KJV Bible to be the end-all and be-all of Bibles. Even more Christians speak King James English like its some kind of holy language. As you point out, its not - English has nothing whatsoever to do with it!
There's an entire grouping of words that are a tip-off of KJV Christians, "Thee" and "Thou" are of course, the most common and best known. "Mock", "Covenant" and a host of others are found fairly often too - words that aren't commonly used anymore outside that context. No criticism intended, I just find it interesting. Pagans have their own archaic words as well, which seems more of an affectation than anything else.
 

p. 49

It is remarkable to discover that there were no outright prohibitions on keeping or possessing guns. No laws of any kind.

p.50

From the adoption of the Second Amendment through the next 50 years, there were no firearm restrictions in any states north of the Mason-Dixon Line.

p.51

If anything, regulations were not about what kind of firearm one was not allowed to keep, but about the kind of firearm one was required to buy and have ready for militia duties.

The same was largely true south of the Mason-Dixon Line (disregarding laws targeting slaves and Indians, neither of which were considered to be citizens by lawmakers). A citizen could reside in any of the northern states and half of the southern states for the first fifty years free from state government firearm restrictions.

It's almost like there is some sort of association about the use and pronunciation of the words... isn't it?

Remember when it was the Assault Rifle that killed all the kids in Sandy Hook? Me either.

@Zorba This is for you....



Satire?.... not as much as we'd like to think I'm afraid.


Interesting that they used the word "Metropolis"...

They also used the name of the latter day false God, "Convenience"...

A cross between "The Matrix", "Metropolis", and....

wait for it....

REALITY.

The smartphone is just a crude harbinger of what is to come. At the risk of sounding like a Christian - this is sheer demonic evil. Although I use other names, Satan - and to a lesser extent - Lucifer (Not the same) - as well as others, are behind this - I see the claw of Morder here. Musk is ready to start human trials of implanted brain/computer interface chips.
