Lots of cults do this to seperate people from their former lives and reinforce their commitment to the group
That explains why conservatives are now called Nazis.
No, that’s because they act like Nazis.

I do not disagree and add that the cried wolf “dilution” is on purpose. In the same way “conspiracy nut” was tossed around with distracting fluff while shit like Tonkin was happening.
Dude! This is the most prophetic thing in the whole Bible. Hear me out. Simon son of Jonah (not the whale guy), is a fisherman, and Jesus tells him to come along and fish people instead. Jesus gives him a nickname, Kephas, this nickname was then translated from Aramaic into Greek, Petros. Jesus later says that “On this rock I will build my church”, and that’s the meaning of the nickname Kephas/Petros, Stone, or Rock.
Now considering that Simon’s full name was Simon bar Yonah, in English: Simon son of John, or even Simon Johnson, then his full name with Jesus’ nickname is: Simon the Rock Johnson!
Funny coincidence? Skipping ahead a few thousand years, our current Rock is called Dwayne, and the meaning of that name happens to be Fishhook. And if you really wanna bring it home, Dwayne the Rock Johnson’s daughter is named… SIMONE! We’ve come full circle! The end times are near.
Am I mad as a hatter?
Would that just be Simone Dwaynesdaughter?
Simulation theory confirmed
I have no idea if any of that is true, but I’m too lazy to check, so have an upvote
This is more a mythology meme instead of a history meme though.
Mythology is fine. Mythology is part of historical cultures. We have Zeus and Prometheus and memes of that sort too.
My man, mythology is fine AF. Have you even SEEN Helen of Troy?!?!
She made me launch a thousand ships, if you know what I mean
That’s a lot of Seamen.
Just wear one of these
Helen of Troy
Casting agent in future portrayals: “Find me the blandest blondest white woman with no distinguishing facial features who could easily be swapped out with another without the audience noticing.”
she’s a babe
I heard she walks like a gunslinger
Fair enough I guess.
Kind of but early Christians did really change their names after joining the faith. Famous example being Saul/Paul who was probably more influential on Christianity than Jesus himself.
Even God did it. Set/Ba’al to Yehwah.
It took me a minute to parse your second phrase; I thought it was a pseudo terminal command.
sed 's/baal/yahweh/'It’s templeOS’ version for ‘set path’ (/s) (yes, templeOS is something that exists)
Fucking Paul completely screwed up Jesus intentions
I blame him for breaking up the Beatles, too!
That was
JudasYoko
I also changed my name because of my faith and not because I’m doing tax fraud
As often said, no academic argues Jesus was not a historical figure. Only militant terminally online atheists do.
I’m not talking about whether Jesus existed or not. The bible is not a historic accord is what I’m saying.
Got you, no argument against that
Still, Simon/Peter could just as fine be as real as the person historically named Jesus. Assuming Jesus wasn’t talking to imaginary friends all day.
That’s not their point. Their point is the Bible isn’t a reliable source.
This is almost exactly as weird as Dwayne Johnson being called The Rock.
