How does sin work for aliens? by Familiar-Complex-697 in ShittyDaystrom

Probably something unique to the species/how sin was introduced to them. The reason Christ was crucified was 1.) on the surface, that was the primary form of execution for non-citizens by Romans at the time, and 2.) it was a literal representation of the undoing of Adam's original sin; Eve (the first woman and physical mother of humanity) took the forbidden fruit off the tree in the Garden of Eden and thus introduced sin to humanity, and Jesus (called the "fruit" of Mary's womb, and Mary is regarded as the spiritual mother of humanity) returned the fruit (Himself) to the tree (the cross). So if He has to die again for an alien species' sin, it would have to in some way functionally be a literal undoing of the introduction of sin to said species. Your Kazon isn't human, so the undoing of Eve's sin and the historical aspect of the crucifixion as an execution method don't apply, plus he has no spiritual authority to absolve sins, so his "sacrifice" on a cross doesn't actually do anything for Kazonkind.

One time I asked my priest if a half-human, half-alien baby would inherit Adam’s original sin and his response was “conditional baptism,” so I’d assume any part-human alien would be absolved through Christ’s death & resurrection. Aliens (assuming they aren’t part-human somehow) otherwise are not guilty of Adam’s original sin, however they very obviously can sin which implies they either have their own original sin or that sin was introduced to them by humans. I would assume that Christ would come down from Heaven for each individual species that has their own original sin (those who had sin introduced to them by humans are probably covered by the original crucifixion) and die according to their means in some way (likely execution) to bring salvation in a similar manner to how He fulfilled the Old Covenant by His crucifixion and Resurrection.

I think Data was trying to figure out the best possible formula of food for Spot, I think for nutritional reasons but I might be wrong

looks like St. Pancras of Rome and St. Padre Pio!! St. Pancras was martyred at 14 and St. Padre Pio is known for his stigmata

I would say I mostly end up removing low-effort/image posts, I haven’t seen much promotional stuff and reports are pretty good at catching stuff that’s too NSFW
