Happy Easter! He has risen! He has come once, and you must let him enter you, for, lo, he is coming again! Hallelujah!

Maybe I thought about it too hard.

Two specific humans : do original sin
God : Oh, good, they're ready, send them to Earth and tell them to be fruitful and multiply.

The current human race is just the product of selective breeding by the lord to optimize sin. Think about it, in the Genesis, it is said that God created the whole of humankind on the 6th day, but then we only follow Adam and later Eve. God took a single human capable of sin and a mate created from his rib, singled them out from the rest of the species*, tempted the pair with easy sin (the fruit) then when they gave in and sinned, He put them back into the world to reproduce into a whole kind.

And sure enough, one of their sons kills the other, escalating sin from simply disobeying to killing. And what does God do? He protects him, makes him immortal, and makes him wander the Earth to know other humans. This is an artificial evolution pressure! The point is to encourage the reproduction of Cain and propagate the possibility of sin. I'd say God is a genius, but the guy is omniscient, he has no merit.

*It is written that Cain could be killed by other humans, which means there were canonically already other humans on Earth. Adam was simply taken to Eden in order to make him sin, not created there as the first human. I'm just going from the text here ^^

John Dee's Dank Memes is announcing our first ever occult bertstrips contest! This contest will go until December 10 at 12pm EST, and the top five will be posted to the channel with poster credit. While the top five will be chosen by the admins, you can still win the "group favorite" category even if its not in the top five!

There are only a small set of rules:

1. The submission must utilize imagery from Sesame Street or the Muppets. Otherwise it's not a bertstrip.

2. The submission's caption must actually be related to the occult. Fictional occult topics from authors like H.P. Lovecraft will be accepted.

3. Users may submit more than one post for the contest, but only one per person can win a spot.

4. Submissions must be placed in the comments of this post or in the group chat, labeled as such. This post will occasionally be reshared to give everyone a chance.

5. We won't turn away a submission on the basis of dark humor; however, submissions with tasteless content like slurs, CSA references, pro-fash/nazi messages, and full-on racism will end up magickally disappearing (getting deleted) because fuck you, this is our channel.

Happy posting!
