    The thing is, as shitty a show as Andromeda was, the lore is still better than what Jews and Christians came up with.

      It’s based on the Sumerian tales, which are pretty cool, actually. Then Babylon/Chaldea, Egypt reworked it a bit, then the Abramic, patriarchal bs came along. Jesus myths are pretty cool, but you know, they don’t like that part, except for the passion. They think that part was cool, but only the suffering, not the freedom of atonement and redemption, let alone ascension. It’s all true in the metaphorical/philosophical sense which is basically done be an ass, give it away to retain it.
