Having finished my term running Scum & Villainy for my group, I get to play again—this time in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (4th ed).

We all rolled characters, and I scored a human priest. A bit boring compared to (say) being a professional graverobber, but still potentially interesting. I've chosen to have him worship Verena (goddess of justice and order), so we'll see how *that* goes.

Naturally I've gone and drawn him.

Orthodox #priest Nikolai #Savchenko was arrested for taking a photo 11 years ago holding the flag of #Ukraine

According to him, security forces detained him right in the church, from where he was taken to court

In 2014, the priest published photographs from the anti-war action on #VK with the #Bible quote: Do not go and start wars with your brothers

The court said the flag was an extremist symbols of the "Organization of #Ukrainian Nationalists". He was given 14 days of administrative arrest

*~*Jesus the Great High Priest!*~*

*~*Therefore!*since we have a great high priest!*who has gone through the heavens!*namely!*Jesus the Son of God!*let us continue to hold on to our confession!*For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses!*but one who has been tempted in every way!*just as we are!*yet was without sin!

#CalvinRobinson finished his remarks at the National Pro-Life Summit by throwing a #Nazi salute, much to the delight of the crowd. Calvin #Robinson, a #euro #farright #priest, finished his remarks by throwing a Nazi salute, to a cheering crowd. Given he gives the same excuse as #ElonMusk, and knows that it was widely considered to be a Nazi salute, there's no way this wasn't a dog-whistle. #West is just rushing to #fascism.

→ Deus in machina: Swiss church installs AI-powered Jesus

“[T]he church swapped out its priest to set up a #computer and cables in the confessional booth. After training the #AI program in theological texts, visitors were then invited to pose questions to a long-haired image of #Jesus beamed through a latticework #screen. He responded in real time, offering up answers generated through artificial intelligence.”

AI worshippers have come full circle.

As the caterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the #priest lays his curse on the fairest joys.
