the new testament is easier to understand once you realize that structurally it's just fanfic (the gospels) and comment threads (the epistles)

and revelations which i guess is shitposts? the analogy breaks down 🤷🏻‍♀️

Maybe looking at comics is also useful, since they have this long history of fanfic becoming canon & bits of canon being thrown out, fan discussion getting varying levels of canonicity based on political expedience, & long complicated narratives chunked arbitrarily and about which only the exceptional bits are remembered.

Also this perspective makes it easy to compare Grant Morrison's run on any comic to Revelations.
