ursulav, with her thoughts on the Gospel of Judas and the editing of the Bible. . .

Since humans are the same the world over, I would lay money that some of the proto-gospels were crappily written and full of Mary Sue disciples who all had green eyes and Jesus fell madly in love with them and...wait, was that the Last Temptation of Christ? Well, anyway, the point stands. We're probably better off with a lot of them hitting the junk heap. Christianity would not be notably improved by inclusion of a gospel where Jesus turns into a teenage girl with a telepathic unicorn pet.

Fortunately, many of the writers were dead by the time the editing got involved, so flame wars were difficult to conduct, but I suspect that the discussions at said synods still resembled a highly literate, solemn, and dignified version of the sorts of fights that erupt in any fandom's literature. I wonder how you write "This suxxx! Snape is MINE!" in Aramaic?

Were you already an Ursula fan, or did I just make a convert? (So to speak.)

I'd seen a couple of her entries before and meant to add her to my friends list, but then I pulled a me and forgot . . . thanks for reminding me! :-)
