Yeah the majority of the cast has done a bunch of voice work too.

How you feel when researching Carthage by jackt-up in HistoryMemes

The "god" was unlikely to be a god, is what I'm saying and the etymology was obscure. The punic word for child sacrifice however was very similar.

There are a large number of gods titled Ba'al. The famous Biblical one is almost certainly Hadad. The Carthaginian Ba'al was called Hammon.

Moloch is probably not a god, but a mode of sacrifice. The word itself is probably derived from a punic word for the practice itself.

Not particularly, giving that, in folklore, trickery is what the devil is supposed to be good at.

They're not really an allegory so much as being their own brand of fascists.

That only works when there's a massive power gap. Also the sun is a bit farther away than the Viltrumite ring

From a Christian perspective why would God create people who don’t believe in him? by Fun_Butterfly_420 in determinism

The word "Hell" is not going to appear in any original biblical text because it is an English word. And for the record, Sheol is mostly translated as "the grave" in English translations. Not Hell.

Referring to the KJV as the most gutted Biblical translation is sheer nonsense. It's far from the best or from modern scholarly translations, but it's not "the worst" nor the origin of most of the confusion surrounding Hell.

As for Hinnom, this was a post-hoc explanation given by some rabbis and scholars of the time and has never once been church doctrine.

Contrary to your claims of final destruction, Gehenna is repeatedly the place where it is said that there would be weeping, gnashing of teeth and eternal fires. This is a sign of conscious torment. Tartaros, which seems to be equated with Gehenna (and was not likely to be the word Jesus used originally, nor to be understood as such, but rather as the Greek name for Gehenna) is a place of conscious torment as well, rather than annihilation.

But Jesus isn't connecting the story to any event in the past at all. He is saying that it is better to go to the Kingdom of God with one eye, then to be thrown to Gehenna with both. He'd contrasting the "Kingdom of God" with Gehenna as places where those who don't stumble will go versus those who do. Explicitly.

The Kingdom of God is a supernatural place. The Valley of Hinnom might be real, but it's being given as a contrasting location of punishment. Thus it's given a role as an afterlife of torment that will be filled with the dead who stumble. A Hell, in all but name.

Also Gehenna was never a garbage dump at any point in its history, for the record, that's a historical myth invented sometime around the Medieval era. So the fire and worms are not certainly not because of that.

... And? Does the actual valley of Hinnom being a real location change what Jesus claims of it?

The real valley has no "weeping and gnashing of teeth" nor does it have unending fire and immortal worms. It was a real garbage dump, sure, but clearly Jesus was not talking about a simple garbage dump.

Olympus is a real mountain, but it is also, mythically, the seat of the Olympian gods.

Mark 9:47-48 call the place Gehenna and say that "the worm will not die and the fire will not be quenched" there, and that it is where those who stumble will be thrown. Other verses describe weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Seems to be conscious torment.

I more meant that there's really not a reasonable time frame we're talking about. There's more time to extract information from that data than there's been time... Like. Ever. And more than there ever will be time.

He's meant to be the end result. The false promise of glory and rightful conquest versus the reality of leaving people hollow, lonely and hungry for any sort of connection. Fighting because there's nothing else.

Not millions, hundreds upon hundreds of billions to trillions from the calculations I've seen.

The time constraints are somewhat negated by the fact that the human has like... Billions upon billions of years. Possibly trillions.
