The Ankh is an Egyptian symbol of great antiquity and it portrays the resurrection of the spirit out of its encasement of matter, otherwise expressed as the triumph of life over death, of spirit over matter, of good over evil.
The ankh appears frequently in Egyptian tomb paintings and other art, often at the fingertips of a god or goddess in images that represent the deities of the afterlife conferring the gift of life on the dead person’s mummy; this is thought to symbolize the act of conception. Additionally, an ankh was often carried by Egyptians as an amulet, either alone, or in connection with two other hieroglyphs that mean “strength” and “health”.

Woman: Son, do yo follow Jesus?
Me: Yes, I do. He cracks me up.
Woman: How so?
Me: He always seem to be talking about women and getting drunk.
Woman: ...
Me: Oh... I follow him on Twitter. That's... clearly not what you meant... sorry.
I find it interesting people do not know history by now enough to know things always repeat. The world is a big game of telephone…

When leaders use religion to justify getting tax-free money for selfish purposes, I question the use of religion.

The only people Jesus ever got mad at were rich people, hypocrites, and those who refused to grow.
How the religious right doesn’t collapse under the weight of sheer irony is a genuine mystery to me.

“The Sin” - Heinrich Lossow - c.1880
The Banquet of Chestnuts (or Ballet of Chestnuts) was the most famous of the orgies held in the Vatican.
An account of the banquet is preserved in a Latin diary by the Protonotary Apostolic and Master of Ceremonies Johann Burchard (it is entitled Liber Notarum).
On Sunday evening, October 30th 1501, Cardinal Cesare Borgia, son of Pope Alexander VI, hosted a banquet in the Papal Palace where fifty prostitutes were in attendance for the entertainment of the guests.
“Following the supper, lampstands holding lighted candles were placed on the floor and chestnuts strewn about, which the prostitutes, naked and on their hands and knees, had to pick up with their mouths as they crawled in and out among the lampstands. The Pope watched and admired their noble parts”.
Members of the clergy and other party guests had sex with the prostitutes for prizes. According to Burchard: “Prizes were offered—silken doublets, pairs of shoes, hats and other garments—for those men who were most successful with the prostitutes.”
“Servants kept score of each man’s orgasms, for the pope greatly admired virility; and measured a man’s machismo by his ejaculative capacity.”
…a level design just popped into my head.
excuse me orgies in the vatican. What am I missing that’s been happening under wraps son
Yeah the Vatican in its heyday was insane. The Borgias, Medicis. The Vatican was super famous for it’s debauchery. That’s why Northern Europe had a little thing called the Reformation and something about a 99 theses hehe.
