- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Which is why there was a counter-culture belief that Jesus was preaching about a higher god than the one in the Torah. The one in the Torah was thought to be basically a spaz who couldn't do creation correctly and the god of Jesus was more powerful and intelligent. All those texts were destroyed when the Roman church got power.
Just in case you didn't know, there was a big cache of gnostic texts found in Nag Hammadi but the discovery got overshadowed by the dead sea scrolls. They were very cool to look into and shed a lot of light on pre-romanized Christianity.
