    It’s very important to note that Catholics believe that Jesus was both fully man and fully god, and in times past would straight up kill you for heresy for saying he was half man and half god.

      Normalizing a 2D vector is not part of the scripture, apparently.

      (edit) I fucked up with my math. Normalizing either kind of Jesus would result in a being that is ~0.707 part divine and human. But if we assume that Jesus is both fully divine and fully human, that would make his magnitude sqrt(2), which means that Christian beliefs are based on something that is completely irrational, which I’ve found to be true.

        Well, in scripture a circle can be 10 cubits in diameter and 30 cubits in circumference, so…

        I guess all that we can conclude is that through god, all things are possible.

          God doesn’t play dice with the universe because the universe got fed up with his 24-sided d20s.

      It’s got to have been awful to be neurodivergent in the past. I want to dig into this right now and I grew up Catholic, so I know it doesn’t lead anywhere.

      Catholicism is all about meaningless distinctions with no basis in reality which drive them into murderous rage.

      This 200% being, The fact that the bread and wine is 100% blood and flesh, don’t ask.
