Where do you think 40k got it
It’s like they haven’t studied history or read any 40K.
Wait Catholics; nevermind. They didn’t read the room with Luther, and he was friendly.
Luther was not friendly
At first he was a reformer, he didnt initially intend to create another schism but well the powder was already there and he lit it.
he was a reformer, but he was an angry, shitposting bastard about it.

He, and literally every other Catholic, had a right to be angry.
I went to the capuchin crypt in Italy.
Spoiler; had nothing to do with monkeys
I went to a crypt in Britain as a kid, can’t remember where tf it was, but I still remember it because it was super interesting.
It’s where I learned about Trepanning and how they did it back in olden times to “let the bad spirits out” and it actually worked because it reduced swelling around the brain by giving the blood a way out.
We still do that today, just with thr patient under anesthesia so they dont freak out about uaving a hole drilled in their skull.
Yeah that’s what the dude said when he was showing us around, blew my preteen brain.
I recently watched an episode of Hamiltons Pharmacopoeia where this lady was talking about her experience living with the guy that made all the LSD for the south of Britain back in the day. She fell in love with a pigeon.
Anyway this dude was well into trepanning, thought it was a way to increase the brain capacity and expand the mind.
She ended up trepanning herself on film and releasing the footage, yeah they watched it on the episode.
She was a bit of an oddball but swears by it.
Ha, cool.
capucin- prefix comes from the Latin for “hood,” and by synecdoche means “monks” (who wear hoods)
Cafe Cappuccino has the same roots.
This is correct. There’s actually a little plaque that has this explanation on it before you go into the crypt.
It’s this funny little Latin lesson before you descend into a skeleton catacomb and are confronted with the living memory that you, too, are temporary.
synecdoche
I didn’t like that movie.
What do you think the Imperium was modeled after?
Did you find any legendary gear?
Nah, just snagged a couple skulls.
Not even common white gear? Man this game SUCKS.
Graphics are good though.
Good graphics, awful gameplay…
They were a dull grayish white.
I don’t know, people seemed pretty freaked out when I was carrying them around.
They’re working on some level
Yeah, that one is definitely a sight to see, if you can stand looking at dead people’s bones.
if you can stand looking at dead people’s bones
I much prefer it to looking at alive people’s bones
I’m fine with them. I went through that whole catacomb and then went through the others.
They have a lot of bony vaults and tunnels and catacombs in Italy.
And whatever church has the wooden fragments of Christ’s cross.
I saw those too.
They look like wood fragments.
At one point, there were probably enough cross fragments going around to build a house with.
I bet it isn’t really Magdalene.
Considering Catholic practices only the stupidest adherents would. You betcha they pulled a bitch Roman Catholics hated out of Syria to enshrine in Rome 50 years after the fact; during a civil war.
Chances are, it isn’t. The early Catholic Church did a lot of this kind of thing, where they would claim to have a piece of the cross, or a bone of St Peter in a church. It was just to drive tourism into their churches. If you took all the claimed pieces of the cross and assembled them, it would make far more than one cross.
Not only early, they did such things in medieval times too.
Argh, what was it again. I’ve read about something the catholic church used in switzerland in 14. or 15. century for this.
How much?
Sure it is. Let’s just pretend there is no monetary incentive for a region to have a holy relic which brings them a bunch of tourism. Ain’t nothing holy under capitalism.
Every single consecrated Catholic altar contains a relic of a saint. Usually they’re pretty small, maybe a piece of a fingerbone or something. You’re right that a good one like this would bring in lots of pilgrims (tourist dollars,) but it’s a tradition that way predates capitalism.
I’m not in the business of defending the Catholic Church or capitalism, just wanted to clarify.
Socialists don’t see a fundamental difference between a king or church owning the means of production and a merchant/capitalist/whatever owning it, because there isn’t a significant difference. Adam Smith was observing truths on the nature of property ownership and how to increase the gains from such, not describing the idea of rich and powerful people owning property that would make them money by exploiting the value of labor. That idea is as old as agriculture.
Where it might get tricky is if the gains from owning the “relic” were funding welfare programs/charity more than they were funding the excessive lifestyle of the clergy, but that’s not something Catholics are particularly known for living up to, responsible usage of tithes and actually following the precepts of ascetism in the clergy.
“Hey, who turned out the lights?”
In a helmet, suit and everything, holy shit.
Just watched that episode for the first time and somehow it didn’t even occur to me
Hideo Kojima: Hmmm
Something I always love to add to these sorts of threads:
https://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.
There’s a lot of fantasy settings id like to live in but Warhammer is not one of them especially anything imperium related
IDK that Taussy be looking real tempting.
Lots of child abuse going on related to O9A, theyre evil fucks
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”
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
I don’t know how the Christians see this and think anything other than “this is some evil shit”.
I don’t know how Christians read the Old Testament and think anything other than “This is some evil shit.”
I don’t know how Christians eat the flesh and drink the blood and don’t think anything other than “I’m in a fucking cannibal cult”.
I don’t know how Mormons drink water and still have the mental gymnastics to think “this is actually blood but I’m totally not in a fucking cannibal cult.”
The book of Job is wild, I remember as a kid thinking this is my god?
Blood for the Blood God!
Skulls for the skull throne…
That Jesus guy sure is a bloodthirsty one.
I’m sure all those bones are legitimate salvage…
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.
Correct. But that’s still fucking morbid.
The Moment i realised the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me.
Hahaha came here to say: this is some serious warhammer shit
That’s metal as hell- I mean, heaven!
I never realized she was an astronaut. They don’t teach you that in Sunday school.
Looks like something the Deacons of the Deep would be protecting right next to the massive empty tomb.
What my unkindled hollow looks like with the face mask of his helmet open.
Make an animatronic out of it.
I hear that’s been an issue of debate in the Vatican since around the 70s and one of the cardinals is very keen on summoning a council to settle it.
Insert a 1 euro coin and the skull will sing your favorite hymn.
Make it the meme Skeletor quotes and I’m in.
And I’m supposed to believe people paid good money for a blowie from that face?
Actually, nevermind, I believe it.
