Anyway, for fighters that level up, I totally nominate Comrade Putin (we'll assume his KGB service happened, and later he gets the class feature "Replace all references to being a KGB man to just being that awesome").
Putin is not awesome. Like, not even a little bit. Srsly. He's not a communist, he's not particularly powerful. Russia is not going to be a threat to the world (or a crazyawesome enlightened power) beyond what's included in the package of being a threat to itself.
I will attempt your subsequent praise of Putin as you specifically trolling me and inflate my ego accordingly.
As for Passover (Easter for you heretics), nothing exciting happens. People greet each other with "Christ has risen! / Risen indeed!" which I dodge by replying "Congrats!", dye chicken eggs and bake traditional cakes. Cakes are to be baked on Fourthday (Thursday for you pagan worshippers), sanctified on Sabbath and eaten on Resurrection (Sunday) which means they're gone stale but the fundies who had been fasting since forever don't care. (After Passover, delicious shop-sold Italian cakes go on sale. Good times.)
Casual worshipers emphasize "sincerity" and improvise prayers (which fall into "ask the Lord for stuff" or "thank the Lord" categories). Fundies with prayerbooks are a common sight on public transport.
Absolutely not true. Nearly everyone believes in a higher power, and that higher power is the Lord/Jesus H. Christ by default. So kids learn about Christianity and the practice of prayer about the time they learn to not shit their pants. Christian-themed movies (especially Western movies) are usually regarded as heretical.Princess wrote:they know about Christ mostly from The Passion of the Christ movie
The understanding of Trinity is quite peculiar. People pray to The Lord implying Jesus and regard him as 100% god (stopping the thought process short of "fucked his own mum" squick). Casual worshipers, however, think that the third face in the Trinity is Virgin Mary the Godmother.
And then there are theology students who are taught extreme anti-Semitism up to and including "Jesus was Russian, the Old Testament is a Jewish lie".
The most crazy religious person I've ever seen was a very old smelly woman carrying around a dirty sign with a fake biblical quote that used long-since-gone-unfashionable junior school slang. Weaksauce translation follows:
