  • In my friend group at work, it’s a bit of absurdism because of the 5 of us, 3 of our mothers are literally dead and the other two are emotionally dead. The two emotionally dead ones - stopped talking to our coworkers when one came out as trans and the other was when he left the Mormon church.

    We will substitute in the dead fathers as well, especially if it makes the joke funnier.

    “Your momma’s so old when she tries to hawk tuah, my dick gets dusty.”

    “Whatever, my mom is dust.”

    “My mom probably thinks Hawk Tuah is a gay pop star.”

    “Your dad wishes Hawk Tuah was a gay pop star.”

    And so forth and so on.








  • Exactly. An example from outside the Bible might be Achilles. There was probably a great warrior with that name in the Mycenaean Greek world. Later storytellers probably just added more to make it sound better or the material was from other warriors who were like Achilles.

    Some of Jesus’ teachings definitely come from the milieu of the Roman era in Judea and Palestina.

    Personally my favorite head canon is that Jesus was, or his parents were, Egyptian born Jews or Coptic converts to Judaism. It’s a reverse Obamas birth certificate. There is so much time spent establishing the lineage and explaining the flight to Egypt.
