Will be reading this if you think it’s worth it.
I’m a huge fan of classic sci-fi (Asimov, Heinlein). How does it hold up?
And before someone eats me alive about Heinlein, I’ve heard it all. Been a fan since I was a kid and the ideological side of it doesn’t matter to me as much as the stories these days. I’m an atheist because of authors like him. I wouldn’t take it back for anything.

Hyperion was a fun read. Definitely recommend. I had a small book club and it was fun to talk about.

If you like old school scifi you'll probably like it. It's a grand opera. Prolog to the first book is online here:

"This is my blood" was actually a miscommunication, he meant that the cup he was holding was his and it was full of blood he didn't want to share.

I think they mean because Jesus was supposedly murdered on a cross, and then his followers wear said cross as a symbol of their love for him or some shit - which is honestly kind of weird.

You think that's weird? They drink his blood and eat his flesh too.

That's all retconning.
Dude showed up with a message for peace, was murdered and his murder is celebrated. Literally, a bunch of people running around pretending that's what he wanted. The propaganda is so strong that everyone just accepts it as fact.
It's really not much different than claiming a women wanted to be sexually assaulted because of what she was wearing.

You will prove that one god exists?
Or even less, you will prove that someone with god-like powers exists?
Or even less, you will prove tat we live in a simulation written by some christian sect.

A press conference with aliens? I don't think so. They'll be killed and get a very detailed autopsy as soon as they put their feet on the ground

Well people said if he comes back he's going to slaughter all of us, maybe making him afraid to come back is the point? Haha

We tortured Him first
