Could have been any time in the last 10 years.

Never a dull moment with Kemi.

That was slightly unkind.

Now imagining The Council of Nicaea and its sponsoring angel rejecting the book for excessive prolixity.
Perhaps an epitome was needed.

It was very well known into the medieval period.
Not surprisingly.
It's weirdly fascinating.

A depressing thought.

Mark is such a weirdo.
I've read that the early church found him a bit embarrassing and hoped to replace him with Matthew.
But somehow that never quite happened, happily.

Presumably because they were artefacts of advanced biology whose ancestors were lab bred.

It was one of the amusing aspects of the *Planet of The Apes* series that the intelligent apes had this the other way around.

Having unsuccessfully attempted to get himself elected pope of Rome by investing a great deal of money in the Roman church he ended up a good deal more famous than most early popes.
So perhaps he had the last laugh.

*Marcion. Though I'm sure Matcion was an interesting guy too.

When the good and the just disagree they should be mindful of the lurking tertius gaudens.

There are definitely some edge cases.
There was more argument about Revelation than about the rest of The NT.
Thank God it made it so that we all got to know about The Four Horsemen, The Number of The Beast, and all the rest!

I think that's pretty mainstream.

If normies could be more tolerant of freaky jargon and if the self - proclaimed avant garde could be less snobbish we could all get on better.

We don't really know.
A general consensus seems to have been reached quite early, by the end of the second century.
It was probably the heresiarch Matcion who started the ball rolling, by coming up with a canon most people thought was too restricted.

Are you saying they're less important?

See above. The posts which have been justly called out for their stupidity were highly offensive to the normie parents attempting to stand up for their trans kids.

I don't mind if they use weird jargon as long as it isn't offensive weird jargon.

I presume that was the reason The OP screenshotted.
Good manners in the circs.

Well indeed.
Nothing you say on social media is *private*.
Try WhatsApp!

Oh no!
People are calling your stupid posts stupid.
How will you survive such cruel persecution?

Now that vice signalling has become so common the goodness of its contrary is a good deal more evident.

Indeed. Nothing wrong with being cringey in a good cause.

Absolutely.

It was very bad
Are we supposed to pretend that it wasn't?

If you make a stupid post other people are gonna tell you that it's stupid.
That's the way it works.

It's amazingly stupid.

Yep.

Very true.
