In which we discuss Christianity as fandom...

Because I am of the opinion that many people who cite it regularly do not actually understand what the Bible means...

 Heheheh.

Yuri_shoujo says:
 Does that make Joeseph Smith a Gary Stu?  </horrible>

Hsavinien says:
 <snigger>  Yeah, I'd say.  Definite self-insert.
 Of course the evangelicals have a whole lot of fanon that they swear is totally canon, no really.
 (and everyone else occasionally sighs at them for taking metaphors literally.)

 I'm a fan of Jeezus' stance on abortion

Hsavinien says:
 *nods*  Yeaaaah.
 Hn, and the Catholic church is waaaay too into the male characters and ignores the female ones or calls them whores.

Yuri_shoujo says:
 YEAH. T_T Boo.
 Once again I'm on the outskirts, slashing characters that have no fandom. Naomi/Ruth, OTP
 *snrk*

Hsavinien says:
 Yeah, totally.
 That Mary Magdalen=prostitute thing?  Totally fanon.
 And the kickass girl parts never show up in church readings.

Yuri_shoujo says:
 lmao. Yes. Though to be fair, there's ten billion Marys.
 yeah. Judith slaying holofernes was kickass 

Hsavinien says:
 Exactly.

Yuri_shoujo says:
 there's only like, two fanarts of that. And only one is any good.

Hsavinien says:
 (The thing is, the prostitute in question is never named, she's just in the same set of readings as Mary Magdalen, who was beset by seven demons.)
 (No indication of them being the same person.)

Yuri_shoujo says:
 (yeah. it's like most bible things. People mish mash them all together. There's three sets of ten commandments. Btw, we're the biggest dorks ever.)

Hsavinien says:

Yuri_shoujo says:
