To answer one of your follow-ups: Christ is a title, it’s the English version of the Greek word for messiah.

Jesus Christ = Jesus the Christ = Jesus the Messiah = Christ Jesus and so forth

So when you say, Christ the Messiah, you’re really saying Messiah the Messiah. Man people were so silly back then. Anyway, I’m off to the Los Angeles Angels game. 👋

  They absolutely were. Biblical AF as frigging hell, man. Anyway, hope they hit a home run out of the park at the game!

  I’ve always found it fascinating that Winnie the Pooh and Jack the Ripper have the same middle name.

    Though, if Milne is to be believed, Winnie the Pooh is short for Winnie-ther-Pooh.
