was talking about theology with a friend and accidentally called jesus chief im so cooked

@lizzie Jesus Chief our Lord

@kon chief is called the shepherd so if you think about it

@kon well i mean a lot of chief lore is deliberate allusions to jesus. the little guide from maria

@kon to the point of being the abyss incarnate so that other humans can become the abyss as well

allusions to jesus/christianity arent uncommon in general but its a particular angle i find really fascinating

to the point that her suffering is an important component of rewriting humanity’s fate away from the death brought by sin

@kon im used to seeing christianity being referenced as much more of a surface-level thing and while there is the occasional use of a psalm buried in an item description in ptn, it mostly impacts things under the surface and the core logic of the world.

@georgia the jesus fandom is the only fandom where you get to eat your favorite character

@kon like the deus corpuses are obviously based on the eucharist but there isnt any visual reflection of this and nobody spells it out or anything besides the name

@georgia chief would and has offered someone her flesh and blood as food and drink before though

@georgia i love chief..

@georgia there are bigger chief fans than me i need to get on their level

@luce-anon chief died for several months before being raised from the dead so she’s cooler than jesus for that

she only preached to like two dead people in that time so she wasn’t very productive in that respect

@luce-anon oomf hates me..

@luce-anon also chief never actually died lmao she just fell into a coma very dramatically

@luce-anon tbh i think 90% of what i like about path to nowhere is that it gives me an entertaining outlet for my theology brainrot

tbh i think the ptn writers understand christianity better than the average american protestant which makes it kinda funny to me that the game is chinese

@apophis “um actually chief is a title. its not a last name bc they didnt have last names at the time. her name was just SHP-13”

@apophis @lizzie if path to nowhere came out in early 2021:

@apophis i like how they didnt bother giving chief a canon name so they have to come up with all sorts of ways for characters to refer to her like
“dummy”
“officer”
“idiot”
“little guide”
“commander”
“theater manager”
etc

@azalea @apophis if you think about it “when rain meets gunfire” was just among us

@azalea @apophis manphist said he though chief was sus even though he was the impostor

@apophis @azalea wait i literally took a screen recording of a guy saying “among us in that event”
