I'm not catholic, but I do like the fact that artillery has its own patron saint.

[–] Ensign_Crab 51 points 4 days ago

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.

Saint Barbara, patron of artillery men and military engineers.

In the hispanosphere, we used to call "santa barbara" to the ammunition storage of sailing ships. Now i know why

Fun fact of the day: That is why the little columns on which gun turrets are mounted are called 'barbettes' (little barbara)

I'll tell you the same thing I told a friend that was too deep into W40K: you can enjoy the characters without making the lore a central part of your life!

Not just Catholics. Father, son, holy spirit, Satan, but just one god, amirite?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

And Trump if you're a conservative American

One god, multiple personalities. They didn't have schizophrenia medication back then.

I’m guessing you don’t come from a region that has been historically Abrahamic. I’m secular myself but it’s interesting that you would throw Satan in there with the rest.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (26 children)

I do, and I'm not sure why what I said would make you think otherwise. The way Satan is popularly depicted today makes him indistinguishable from the "evil gods" of other religions.

The way I look at it is basically the Bible is up for interpretation. Because if you read it literally it uh.... Well it's not good.

So if you think about it, there are actually several. Christian gods. Each one slightly different based on which verses of the Bible you interpret literally versus figuratively.

For all Protestants bang on about hell and the devil, they are well on their way to paganism too.

Hinduism is a very diverse religion. There are polytheistic, monotheistic, pantheism and many more under that umbrella
