I won't blame goyim for calling them "biblically accurate angels" because that's the term that most of the internet uses. but it's really incorrect and you probably shouldn't use it.

the most outlandish and crazy depictions of angels that you probably see the most as "biblically accurate angels" are the depictions from the book of Ezekiel. the ones with flames and eyes and animal heads and basically not resembling a human form at all.

but these angels are not from the bible. they're from the Tanakh. the Tanakh came first, and the bible followed. Judaism came first and christianity followed.

I really hate how people have turned the angels that appear in a book that's part of the Tanakh into "christian cryptids". they aren't a xian creation. they're a part of Jewish lore and angelology. so maybe don't call them something that implies they're from a xian text. because they aren't. those types of angels don't appear in the xian bible, and even if they did, they were a part of Judaism long before xianity was invented.

again, I'm not blaming you if you didn't know. if this is your first time hearing about this, I'm glad I taught you something new. I would suggest simply calling those angels by their names, seraphim and cherubim and ophanim. and if you want to learn more, try looking into Jewish angelology.

Big shout out to the coalition of Catholic nuns who just told the US bishops to stop being transphobic.

“As members of the body of Christ, we cannot be whole without the full inclusion of transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive individuals,” the letter reads. It goes on to argue that “we will remain oppressors until we — as vowed Catholic religious — acknowledge the existence of LGBTQ+ people in our own congregations. We seek to cultivate a faith community where all, especially our transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive siblings, experience a deep belonging.”

The letter also states transgender people are “experiencing harm and erasure” in various ways, listing daily discrimination, a groundswell of state-level legislation aimed at LGBTQ rights and “harmful rhetoric from some Christian institutions and their leaders, including the Catholic Church.”

Modern Christians are so weak. Earlier this afternoon I mentioned to my mom that I was wanting a skull tattoo and she said "oh that's disgusting and satanic. Christians don't associate with skulls."

Ok besides the fact that half of Christians wear metal depictions of a man being executed, Christians historically have always been strange and macabre. It's sort of what comes out of a religion that claims to eat the flesh and drink the blood of a God who was dead for three days.

Look at this church. Normal, right?

No. This is a church literally decorated entirely with human bones. Here's the chandelier:

It's called the Sedlec Ossuary, located in Kutna Hora, Czechia and is adorned with the bones of an estimated 40,000-70,000 people. (They weren't killed for this purpose, but were dug up from their Graves.)

Imagine taking the Eucharist here, eating Christ's body and drinking Christ's blood, while staring eye-to-empty-eye-socket at a real human skull. Horrifying.

That cross on the wall has 17 skulls. Seventeen human heads. That's metal as fuck.
