They'll probably kill off his character in the first scene then leave us with the cheaper actors for the rest smh

I find myself morbidly curious about how you learned this

Reminded me of a Terry Pratchet line.

"What doesn't die, doesn't age. What doesn't age, doesn't learn. What doesn't learn, doesn't live."

Thats the cool thing about language that people dont really seem to understand. Meaning is defined by what we collectively believe, not latin origins.

I wonder if future societies will look back and think we pronounced it as one sound like "ock"

It's astonishing how pretty much everything distasteful in the new testament comes from Paul. If you took him out you'd lose 70% of the story but it would be so much more palatable as a religious text

Does anyone have an explanation for why Millennials would consume the most physical press out of all the demographics?

Im genuinely sorry but i don't really understand what you're saying here... Could you maybe rephrase this for me?

Much as its nice to draw comparisons to modern politics. Im given to understand that modern scholarship doesn't agree. The romans killed jesus for breaking roman law (claiming to be/being perceived as the ruler of a roman province). Blame was later shifted to jews because Christianity was being preached to a Roman audience who wouldn't want to see themselves as the bad guys.
