       I've got a theology degree and I can't stop rolling my eyes and passing out laughing as games like the Darksiders trilogy mix and mash bits of overheard rumor about the wackier edges of ancient christian theology. f The older heresies are great and the Apocrypha are fun. But there's all kinds of other crazy shit that no one actually believes that one could use.

       In the first century, there was a booming market in what we'd now call fanfic. Crazy shit about Jesus to sell stories. My favorite is a story about Jesus basically being shit at sports as a kid. So, to win, he struck down his opponents. Like lions coming out of the walls and shit. All explained away later as "well, Jesus wasn't sinless until he accepted the mantle as an adult. So up until then, he had crazy god-like powers but no Jesus responsibility".
