Porquoi?

Snowflake_Slayer
?

Somber
Why do you ask?

Snowflake_Slayer
ask about which thing
I asked many things

Somber
About if I was familiar with the bible?

Snowflake_Slayer
because a lot of people I have observed discussed how BJ is likened to Jesus.
but I don't see it

Somber
She's a messiah character, trying to save ponykind.  It's a lot harder than just dying.

Snowflake_Slayer
but she's died
several times
and saved
idk
a couple ppl
physically
sorta

Somber
Right.  But to save them from the eater takes far more than just herself.

Snowflake_Slayer
and I'm assuming the Eater is hell?
Hell*
or perhaps a representation of Hell?
the Lake of Fire

Somber
It's original sin.

Snowflake_Slayer
lol wut
sorry
uh

Somber
The thing is removing the eater won't save everyone.

Snowflake_Slayer
wc

Somber
It just removes the influence.  It'll be up to everyone else.

Snowflake_Slayer
How does this make BJ Jesus?

Somber
She's dying to save them.  It's a deconstruction though, because dying is easy.  What Blackjack is doing is much, much harder.

Snowflake_Slayer
by dying a lot?
I still don't
I mean

Somber
No.  By trying to actually save them.  But its okay.  It's hardly allegory.

Snowflake_Slayer
IIRC..

Snowflake_Slayer
Okay now it just sounds like BJ is trying to One-up Jesus
I mean
why the Messiah thing
BJ is just a dumb mare who doesn't know how to quit
Jesus was a guy who decided to die for others and left behind teachings to live a better life.
and try try try as both may..
only so much good done by both

Somber
She is one-upping Jesus.  That's kinda my beef.  Jesus had it too easily.

Snowflake_Slayer
So having your skin ripped off by a nine-tailed whip with flint tips was easy?
BJ just keeps coming back
Jesus apparently died
how is it easier?
he's dead
are you saying a "true" messiah needs to micromanage everyone?
that sounds more like a dictator, or a tyrant

Somber
Yes.  Much too easy.  If I were writing the bible, his apostles would have been sacrified one by one before him.

Snowflake_Slayer
you mean the New Testament?
the Bible is the whole Bible
Jesus is in the New Testament
