    Apparently any time people are in a row on one end of a long table, it’s automatically a Last Supper reference.

    I still don’t know what is going on in this picture. Can someone explain? I know this is some type of an opening ceremony and conservative christians were upset by it.

    What, that’s not common knowledge?

    Btw, christmas was stolen from Yule. And some stories in the old testament are from Gilgamesh and Atrahasis Epos, like Mose’ abandonement in a reed basket as an example.

    Literally all beings and concepts in christianity have a pagan origin. Even ancient YHWH/Yahweh/Jehovah/Tetragrammaton (God) goes probably back to El.

    But i guess that’s natural, concepts like an underworld are in above epics too, those sorts of stories developed over civilizations.

    okay. I’ve only seen stills of blue guy on a plate. How does this have any resemblance to the last supper? Is it just that there’s people at a long table? The more images I find the more concerned I am that christians have not seen a picture of the last supper.

    Yahweh was actually the old god of the harvest and wine I believe. Before the Jewish Pantheon shrunk to one god only. So Yahweh was similar to Dionysus at one point. There are still remnants and mentions of the other gods in the old testament, like Yahweh’s wife Ashira and Baal who I think was an underworld god. Also funny that in the old testament, god talks about other gods as if they’re real but weak or bad, doesn’t deny they exist.

    As someone raised as a Mor[m]on, their response would be: the pantheons of pagan gods are just corruptions of the Gospel taught to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Thankfully, Joe Smith (not a couch banger, just a plain old pedophiliac serial rapist like any other good Christian leader) restored (made up) the lost parts of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
