  St. Paul, the guy who co-founded Christianity the Roman tax collector that we have historical records that for a fact indicate he existed, that guy.

      People like you are the reason I’m embarrassed to call myself an atheist.

        What’s even funnier is while I am a Christian, this is actually a very critical Christian meme.

        Then don’t. I don’t believe in any god. I just don’t call myself an atheist. I’m just not anything. If there was a survey of which religion I belonged to, I just wouldn’t check any box. Then I don’t have to associate myself with any group, I just am.

  To be fair, Paul was probably real. Not all the writings we attribute to him are his.

    We know he was alive for a fact based on multiple historical examples and cross references. What we don’t know is whether or not he was divinely inspired or high as balls.

      I think he was a con man, plain and simple

        Con man and high as balls are not mutually exclusive.

  St. Paul the sandwich

  • LengAwaits@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    The St. Paul sandwich is wildly underappreciated. I had never heard of it before I lived in Missouri, and after I left I found that, like me, most people have never even heard of it. It’s a sad state of affairs.

    The St. Paul sandwich is a national treasure. It’s a uniquely American food that only exists by dint of the “melting pot” of cultures that we as a country used to count among our best features.

      That might be due to the fact that according to Wikipedia, this sandwich is a Missouri thing. Although I’ll agree it does sound tasty and I’d certainly try it if I saw it somewhere.

      Perhaps this means you’ve been called to spread the good news of the St. Paul Sandwich to other states…

        You’re absolutely right, and it’s exactly why I’m here preaching! I don’t yet preach the gospel of St. Paul (the sandwich) to every single person I meet, but I’m working up to it.

        I think what’s so maddening about the situation is that you can get egg foo young at nearly every Chinese take-out joint in the US, but only in Missouri are they willing to slap it on some cheap white bread for you. The best part is, it’s an incredibly cheap meal, that isn’t completely bereft of nutrition. When I lived in Missouri you could get a St. Paul sandwich for like… $2. It was always one of the cheapest things on the menu, and it saved my then-broke, kitchen-less ass more than once!

        These days I just take the necessary ingredients to the restaurant with me, order the egg foo young, then assemble the sandwich right there on the takeout counter, while maintaining eye contact with the nearest employee. I think they’re getting the message.
