Where the fuck does this "the time Satan impregnates his bride" shit come from.
- A lot of these religious zealots tend to straight make shit up, usually about connections to hell/devil/Lucifer. Everything they don't like is somehow connected to Lucifer or Hell. It's usually a control mechanism.
  I once had someone try to tell me that 'lol' meant 'league of Lucifer' as opposed to 'laugh out loud', which is ironically exactly what I did when I heard this.
  
  It's almost like all religious shit is just made up to control people.
  
  I wouldn't disagree if I'm honest. You only have to look through history to find a multitude of examples.
  These types of zealots take it to...weird levels. Not necessarily new or unprecedented, just...weird. Even more nonsensical than the base religion.
  
  Core religion is, for the most part, the whack ass manipulation people pulled out of their ass that was deemed fit to put in written words and hold onto for more than the week or three after some hack-job con artist said it without thinking.
  Illiterate thieves stuck at typewriters for millennia and they call it "scripture".
  
  If I ever encounter someone making stuff up like that, I want to ask them to back it up with the Bible, because I have a very strong feeling they're going more on gut instinct than scripture.
  I only hear about these kinds of people online, though. Well, except the one time I heard a guy condemning Magic: The Gathering, but he was at least making sensible points about it.
