Castlevania Bravo @castlebravoli7.gobirds.online · 11/10/2026Thanks to the excellent @hotgpod.bsky.social for teaching me this (the Protestant Reformation season just started and it’s already clear it’s going to be a banger) 120
Castlevania Bravo @castlebravoli7.gobirds.online · 11/10/2026And I think Luther himself was an asshole, that one story, as a deconverted Catholic who also had to get over his fear of Hell, is incredibly sympathetic. And I think it suddenly makes it understandable how Protestantism spread so fast, because I think there were a lot of people like Luther 4/5 110
Castlevania Bravo @castlebravoli7.gobirds.online · 11/10/2026A more senior monk has pity on him and gives him a job to keep his mind busy: professor of Bible studies. And while he was studying the Gospels, he made the leap to salvation by faith, and that was what freed him from his terror of Hell. So like even though I’m not sympathetic to Protestantism 3/5 110
Castlevania Bravo @castlebravoli7.gobirds.online · 11/10/2026all night, confessing for hours at a time. But it wasn’t enough? “What if there’s a sin I forgot and don’t repent? What if I commit a sin and die before I can confess?” He was all in on the merciless, terrifying God of justice and he was probably going to fast to death one day 2/5 110
Castlevania Bravo @castlebravoli7.gobirds.online · 11/10/2026Ok here’s my chance to explain something really interesting I learned about Luther recently: young Luther was a very devout Catholic even by early modern standards. And he was terrified of going to Hell. He became a monk in a serious order and then went above and beyond, fasting more, praying 1/5 110

Castlevania Bravo @castlebravoli7.gobirds.online · 08/10/2026I mean the answer to this is, okay, imagine 9/11 killed 40,000 people instead of 3000. Would it then have been justified to level every city in Afghanistan with B-52s? If not, what the fuck are we talking about 0110

Castlevania Bravo @castlebravoli7.gobirds.online · 08/10/2026Yeah functionally it’s like a hand washing station outside a bunch of single stall restrooms. If there wasn’t a door between the hand-washing area and the rest of the dining room I don’t think it would even register as an “all gender restroom” 020

Castlevania Bravo @castlebravoli7.gobirds.online · 08/10/2026Harp and Crown is like this too. I’ll freely admit, the first time I used it I was a little uncomfortable; I saw a woman washing her hands when I walked in and I was suddenly sure I’d just walked in the wrong bathroom. But I got used to it (floor length stall doors help!) 110

No Is kidnapping and butchering civilians justified resistance? No Does Israel have the right to defend itself?

Castlevania Bravo @castlebravoli7.gobirds.online · 08/10/2026Is it understandable why Jewish people wanted their own state in 1947? Yes Should it have come at the expense of already colonized people who had nothing to do with the Holocaust? No Can anything be done about that now without creating an even worse humanitarian disaster? Also no 130
