This is why Dungeon Masters should study history. “Pillar saints locked in heated debate” is a top notch random encounter.
This feels like something by Terry Pratchett, it’s just so absurd.
Pretty sure he spoofed this in one of his books, small gods or the last continent, I think. Was definitely a part where there’s a monk at the top of a pole who hallucinates feasts
Mitchell and Webb did it
I mean, of course there were pillar saints in antiquity shouting religious abuse at each other.
They didn’t have internet yet, after all.

Pooping off the top of the pillar was probably one of the most exciting parts of that man’s life
Especially if they are in competing sects of the Almighty Pinhead and one side says that it’s obviously 69 angels that can fit on the head of a pin and the other side says it’s 420 angels that can fit on the head of a pin, and then just around the corner there’s another one who says that the first two people are stupid because Angels wouldn’t hang out on the head of a pin because their wings would get in the way
Whenever I think I’m wasting my life, I just think of these guys & immediately feel better about myself.
