Skulls for the skull throne…

That Jesus guy sure is a bloodthirsty one.

I’m sure all those bones are legitimate salvage…

vaultdweller013 ,

If memory serves right most of these are basically a method of clearing out old graves for new bodies. Basically dig up someone who was burried a hundred years ago and stick em in the bonewall. So ethically sourced so long as no one fucks up the paperwork.

Diplomjodler3 ,

Correct. But that’s still fucking morbid.

ProvableGecko ,

As someone who grew up in a Muslim country, I have to say, Westerners this is some weird shit man. Like, call the police weird. We are supposed to be the barbarians yet you get to have skull thrones and shit? WTF?

pyrflie ,

Dude these sprang from Mesopotamian/Egyptian necropoli. This is a Mediterranean/Middle Eastern tradition springing from Egypt and Summer.

RecluseRamble ,

Religion is heavily intertwined with barbarism. The West/Christian countries have dumped more than their fair share on the world.

surewhynotlem ,

The whole point of religion was to keep the psychopaths in control. Sometimes you had to throw them a bone to keep them in line.

All the Abrahamic religions are death cults. It’s just as morbid as muslim sects that force women to dress head to toe black robes or w/e. The extremism just becomes part of the scenery when you’re around it, but it’s all objectively bizzare.

Like think about it, these religions were literally invented by bronze age goat herds who thought the earth was flat and covered by a dome, and people in the modern day still believe in them. It’s literally group insanity.

It would be like someone who still believes in the greek gods or something.

Tryptaminev ,

How to say that you have no idea about Abrahamic religions without saying that you have no idea about Abrahamic religions.

The Bronze Age ended around 1200 BC. 1200 Before Christ. Most of the prophets of the Torah are estimated to have lived around 1000 BC up until Jesus was born. Mohammed s.a.s. lived in the 7th century AD.

Also if your argument is that something originating in the bronze age is bad, i recommend you to stop using metal tools, eat bread and cultivated fruits. Obviously no beer and while you are at it reject math, astronomy and most of architecture. All stuff originating in the Bronze Age.

The Abrahamic religions are based on superstious oral traditions that extend into the bronze age. They are a hodge podge of cults and spiritual traditions that got absorbed as tribes genocided eachother over the millenia. Taking over a conquered group’s pantheon is a regular occurrence throughout history, similar to how the Romans took Christianity and adapted it. There are remnants in the torah/old testament of the stitching together of different polytheistic religious narratives that eventually became the Abrahamic traditions.

I don’t really care about technical specifics of when any given era of the Abrahamic religions began, believing in invisible skymen is not the same as a material tool or a mathematical proof. It’s a bunch of bullshit stories people told eachother for why the rain fell or why lightning happened, it belongs in the past, there’s no excuse to still believe it now.

Something I always love to add to these sorts of threads:

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Nine_Angles

It expresses the view that the current aeonic civilization is that of the Western world, but it claims that the evolution of this society is threatened by the “Magian/Nazarene” influence of the Judeo-Christian religion, which the Order seeks to combat in order to establish a militaristic new social order, which it calls the “Imperium”. According to Order teachings, this is necessary in order for a galactic civilization to form, in which “Aryan” society will colonise the Milky Way.

It’s beyond heresy.

manuallybreathing ,

Lots of child abuse going on related to O9A, theyre evil fucks

volvoxvsmarla ,

It’s beyond heresy.

Well ok but this ONA has nothing to do with Christianity, they explicitly state it’s a militant Satanic left-hand path occultist network. I mean being Satanic kinda goes hand in hand with heresy.

As with many other occult organisations, the Order shrouds its history in “mystery and legend”, creating a “mythical narrative” for its origins and development. The ONA claims to be the descendant of pre-Christian pagan traditions which survived the Christianisation of Britain and were passed down from the Middle Ages onward in small groups or “temples”

undergroundoverground ,

For sure, I totally agree with what you’re saying. I was only using the word in the 40k version where nearly everything is hersasy, not the sensible version of the word youre using.

I want a late 90s RTS portraying galactic battles between the nexions of this lunatics.

Something like dune2000…

I imagine a sci fi version of the London’s police and the INDD (Intergalactic Net of Drug Dealers) should also be added as factions

There’s a lot of fantasy settings id like to live in but Warhammer is not one of them especially anything imperium related

That’s so punk

pyrflie ,

It really isn’t. Punk is what fights this shit. This is Authority.

yannic , (edited )

I’d disagree, unless you want to say pop punk isn’t punk (and if that’s what you’re saying, that’s fair).

Stuff like this springs out of acts of popular piety. When you teach that the relics of people in heaven can work as prayer aides, it’s a foregone conclusion that some may want to decorate (or even wallpaper, like the photos of the skulls) a prayer space with the highest class of relics.

This is how altars came to have a relic in a stone that the priest kisses at the beginning of every Mass.

It’s an unanticipated but popular reaction to authority and came from the bottom up rather than top down, ergo pop punk.

Just because something is old enough to become mainstream doesn’t mean it’s not punk. Green Day. Blink 182, et al. started out being labeled as punk before the term pop punk became widespread.

pyrflie ,

I can’t tell if you are stupid or counter counter punk. My brain glich shorted out the rest but I will be looking at your posts, so good on ya?

yannic ,

I edited for clarity to explain that I’m referring to the subgenre pop punk, which one could easily argue is not punk.

pyrflie ,

I get where you are coming from. Skull Aesthetic can be used to represent both authority (Religion/govt) and rebellion (Pirates/Bandits), but Holy Relics only really rep one side of that equation. Your Pop-Punk blow works as a jab/word play. That said your label isn’t actually Punk /s :).

LodeMike ,

The look of it. I still have trouble beliving the Catholic church has this? It looks like art.

pyrflie ,

These are pre-Christian Imperial Roman catacombs. The important part is the Imperial. People seem to forget that Rome was Authoritarian, and extremely, homicidaly so. Both pre, post, and during Constintine (hell Constintine was as well).

LodeMike ,

It still looks cool

pyrflie ,

Hell yeah it does. Why do you think the religions that used it did so well?

nyctre ,

Yep, Christianity is filled with stuff like this and art. Most churches contain a decent amount of art. Most famous of all being the Sistine chapel, ofc. Found out this year about The Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran. Which is basically the Pope’s main church. Always assumed it would be the one in Vatican, but no, it’s a different one, in Rome. It’s a very impressive place. Huge statues. This being the best. St Bart is said to have been skinned alive, hence the knife and his face.

I never realized she was an astronaut. They don’t teach you that in Sunday school.
