Just saw a post where you said you're educated in theology with a focus on heresies. (I don't remember it word for word, but you said something like it)
So I want to ask, what's your favorite heresy?
To be fair, mines crom the third century. Basically Jesus said someone would betray him, and his word is the word of God. Technically Judas was just following Gods instructions, and shouldn't be seen as a bad guy.
We share the same favorite heresy! I'm a huge fan of Judasian heresies, which tend to focus around heretical redemption of Judas (but not always). My specific favorite Judasian heresy is the belief that one could argue that Judas was trusted in some ways even above Peter--for Judas was willing to betray the Savior so that He could take on the sins of all of humanity at his death, and of course to ensure his resurrection. There's a beautiful parallel to make, where Jesus consumes the sins of the world, but Judas represents those sins--or, alternately, represents the ultimate expression of free will and love for his God, taking the scorn of eternity for the sake of Christ. It's just such a fascinating distinction to make, y'know? I love it. It turns a story about the pettiness and vindictive greed of the human heart into a narrative foil as a different, but ultimately equal, act of selfless love through the scapegoat.

Can you please draw John and the cop together again
Never drew them together technically but-
So, in game John was was too calm after being tied down to that stretcher, considering the fact it might have triggered some memories of getting restrained in a similar way a year before.
So... my version here. Bit more emotional-
Now you see why we don't want to kill him ye?
