Memeing JW illustrations- day 2
Need first gen dino meme-osaurs of the Rev book. They were all based on the scientific illustrations in early papers that postulated dinosaurs were lizards that dragged their tail and had weird posture. All of those theories were debunked something like a century ago but persist in characters entrenched in pop culture such as Godzilla and in backwards ultraconservative conspiracy media of dogmatists.
I spent way too much of my childhood forced to stare at those dumb drawings to recall this insane chain of linked secret meanings behind scriptures that served as the providence for the religion. Now I realize someone was filtering out those with any remaining intelligence by saying ‘this spurious prescience is nonsense and already disproven at this point in the timeline.’ It took me way too long to acknowledge I was surrounded by idiots on all sides. Most are nice well intentioned genuine people, and there is much to be said about the emotional intelligence of kindness and empathy, but there is no balance with logic or factual intelligence in that world. Positive change is impossible from a negative feedback loop.

Wait, was that actually meant to be an illustration of the Cain and Abel story, because if so, who’s the baby?

And when Cain buggered off and got married, who did he marry? (insert banjo music here)
