Where do you think 40k got it

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 77 points 1 year ago

I went to the capuchin crypt in Italy.

Spoiler; had nothing to do with monkeys

[-] Lifebandit666@feddit.uk 23 points 1 year ago

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.

capucin- prefix comes from the Latin for "hood," and by synecdoche means "monks" (who wear hoods)

Cafe Cappuccino has the same roots.

Yeah, that one is definitely a sight to see, if you can stand looking at dead people's bones.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

At one point, there were probably enough cross fragments going around to build a house with.

I bet it isn't really Magdalene.

[-] TheRaven@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year ago

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.

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?

[-] retrospectology@lemmy.world 53 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

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

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

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.

The alleged skull of Mary Magdalene.

[-] merari42@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago

I like Martin Luther's polemic about relics: "How many pieces of the true cross are there in the world? How many thorns from Christ's crown of thorns? How many nails from the crucifixion? There are enough nails to shoe all the horses in Saxony. And if all the relics of the saints were gathered together, there would be enough bones to build a ship and enough wood to boil all the water in the sea."

In that sense it's one of Mary Magdalene's many heads.

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.

[-] TurtleJoe@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

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.

Hideo Kojima: Hmmm

[-] undergroundoverground@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

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.

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."

[-] Zozano@lemy.lol 8 points 1 year ago

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 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.
