Christianity has a extensive history and tradition of castration. Basically, trannies were more holy in the eyes of your lord, lol.

Lel, christrannies BTFO

Origen spoke against castration. It's a made up lie that he castrated himself. The Christians who believed that lie did so under the view that it was wrong.

>>18572446
All the same, the christians who believed that lie also did so under the view that castration in the name of jesus was a common occurrence.

>the christians who believed that lie also did so under the view that castration in the name of jesus was a common occurrence.
No they didn't, they believed it under the view that castration was a moral wrong and perversion of Christ's teachings. Origen is literally the only Christian who comes to mind when talking about castration.

Maybe other Christians at some point in history have done it, but you could hardly call Christianity as a religion "tranny" because of it.

>>18572409
You can't compare that amount of dedication to an anaesthetised operation.

>>18572504
>at some point in history
lmao, it happened in the past 5 years.

Surely, the idea that castration was wrong was not the reason why the so-called lie became so widespread. The fact that the lie exists at all is proof that castration was a christian tradition, otherwise no one could've possibly believed it.

So you're saying all art is created for the self? What are the motivations of the wealth of authors of unpublished books, painters who don't sell their work, musicians who never record their music? Do you believe their work doesn't live up to their ego so they never push their head above water? Or does ego have to be displayed? Can I please my own ego just by being virtuosic in private? Is the fetishism of keeping it secret when you know how good you are feeding the ego in a way beyond gluttony?

Imagine posting a comic to try and get your point across, rather than actually trying to explain it yourself. I can't believe I'm bothering to reply to such shit.

>>18572056
And that's a good thing

>>18572056

This is M H Abram's thesis in The Mirror and the Lamp. Prior to the late 18th century, literature and criticism sought to hold up the mirror to the world and reality, reflecting something objective. This gradually shifts with the period called Romanticism, when the artist becomes a lamp, projecting expressively outward onto reality. As Bloom used to say, before Wordsworth poetry had a subject. After Wordsworth, the subject of poetry is the poet's subjectivity.

So you fuck off. Try reading.
