You know what? I fully agree. All bibles should be written in the original greek.

Koine chads Rise up ✊✊✊✊✊✊

I can feel my brain melting out through my ear

Hold on, because we still have 8.5 more years.

Until what?

the end

But what kind? Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice!

But if it had to perish twice, terrible screenwriting would suffice.

This reminds me of Chinese complaining how the name Caesar sounds nothing like the name sounds in English.

It's also pronounced like Kaiser in original Latin, we're used to church Latin which was invented by the Italians hundreds of years later

Rip Kiser and Czar romulus, they were spergs but also entertaining.

What actually happened to them? I cant remember, did they get v& ?

Rediscovering Roman imperialism and their oppression of Jews and early Christians but only from the "whitewashed appropriated their culture" angle is peak mayo

Lastly, before I mute this because dumbs are gonna dumb, translations and "name changes" are not the same thing. Especially when educating as a dominant force.

Well sweaty, that's a perk of being a dominant force that we can do that if we want while you can only whine on the bird app about it 🤭😏 Get broken, bucko.

There is nothing quite so nutless
as dropping a hot take and then muting your replies

How much fatter do you think she is in person compared to her avatar?

Fellas, is translation racist?

I agree, every book would be better without the disgusting English names
