It's kind of something like Catholics with church on Sunday. Actually, Church is required if they want to take Communion. Catholics believe if they commit a sin and die before their next Communion, the sin follows them into death. Their soul has to spend time in Purgatory, which is like mini-Hell, to burn off the sin before they can go to Heaven. If they commit a mortal sin (like adultery or murder), they go to Hell. However, Communion wipes the slate clean. That's why Last Rites and Communion are a big deal, because the dying don't want to die with sins on the ledger. This is also why their is the old cliche about an Italian hitman killing someone, and then immediately going to confession to tell the priest that they murdered someone. That's because in Catholicism, they can murder someone and still go to Heaven as long as they take Communion and don't commit a sin afterwards. But the Communion wouldn't be valid unless they go to Confession first. --- "But who prays for Satan?

Lorenzo_2003 posted...ChromaticAngel posted... Sure, but the example was Catholics. That's a specific denomination of Christianity, with its own doctrines, traditions and hierarchy of leadership. If we are just talking about groups in general, then I agree with you that there could be various subgroups that deviate from their parent group. Islam, like Christianity, is like that, but if you're not going to follow the teachings of Sunni Islam, for example, then it wouldn't make sense to call yourself a Sunni Muslim. --- ... ...

Actually, Church is required if they want to take Communion. Nah. Purgatory is a place you go to if you die before being baptized. Then once you're baptized posthumously, you go to heaven. It was created by Papal decree to appease people complaining that why should their kids who died so young before they could get baptized go to hell? Purgatory was also later reversed by Papal decree. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1549439/The-Pope-ends-state-of-limbo-after-800-years.html --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Religions, as they are now, make no fucking sense in either DC or Marvel. Indeed. I have the same problem with real life religion in comics, especially in the DC universe when so many aliens are practically Gods themselves. Christian or Islamic theology just doesn't fit in such a Universe. There's also no need for a Muslim character, let alone one named after a rogue terrorist state that is responsible for genocide. Since the left wing is more focused on the race of most practitioners of Islam, just make her Middle Eastern. No need to invoke Allah. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ms. Ashe’s character has nothing to do with the terrorist group ISIS, or Islamic State. The superhero existed for years as a woman who draws power from an Egyptian amulet, although Mr. Guggenheim said the injection of religion into the television version’s origin was inspired by his sister-in-law. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/aug/4/dcs-legends-of-tomorrow-producer-admits-muslim-cha/ --- ... ...

The Sawillo and the Hindu symbol have a common ancestry. However, I was correcting the statement that the Swastika was based on the Kanji (which is 100% false). Also, considering they literally lifted the SS symbol from the sig rune, they probably ripped the swastika directly off the Norse/Germanic alphabet. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Well, at least, I figured that the whole "Viking Romanticism" of the Nazis had something to do with the adoption of Norse/Germanic runes, as well. I could be wrong about that, but it's pretty clear that the Nazis didn't base the swastika on the Japanese symbol. I looked it up earlier and Wiki said Hitler based it on the ancient Germanic sun symbol, which would be closely related to the Germanic rune, anyway. That being said, I don't know where the common ancestry is and they are all fucking sun symbols, anyway. I just wanted to point out it had nothing to do with the Japanese. ... Copied to Clipboard!
