    Considering the lore where stars are literal living anthropomorphic beings, I’d say Andromeda was pretty blasphemous too. I guess a paycheck trumps Jesus.

      Look around you at talibangicals that worship money, and all the worldly pleasures, hoard it and use it to harm, rather than help others.

        The thing is, as shitty a show as Andromeda was, the lore is still better than what Jews and Christians came up with.

          It’s based on the Sumerian tales, which are pretty cool, actually. Then Babylon/Chaldea, Egypt reworked it a bit, then the Abramic, patriarchal bs came along. Jesus myths are pretty cool, but you know, they don’t like that part, except for the passion. They think that part was cool, but only the suffering, not the freedom of atonement and redemption, let alone ascension. It’s all true in the metaphorical/philosophical sense which is basically done be an ass, give it away to retain it.
