    There is this shitty meme going around the historical community that the Puritans were anti-fun. Well no. They loved singing, having monogamous sex, and reading Paradise Lost. That book includes a chapter, where invents artillery and uses it to bombard the forces of Heaven.

    Lucifer: *invents artillery*
    God: "Are you sure that is legal?"

    The intro to this one is quite funny. The idea of Puritans being super into monogamous sex makesnme chuckle.

    Satan: *Laughing as he blasts everyone with cannons*
    Everyone: *Just gets back up*
    Satan: "Oh shit, I should have thought this through."

    Satan didn't think to use it as an antiair gun... So many efforts wasted

    Cool!
    This might be off-topic, but here's a fun fact about epic poems being still written in the age of print:
    The last great epic in European literature is considered to be the _Pan Tadeusz_ by Adam Mickiewicz, published in 1834. As befitting the "national epic poem of Poland," it was written in Paris, takes place in the modern-day Belarus, and opens with the line "Oh Lithuania, my homeland!"
    And it has guns, too. 😉

      @jeffolsen4983 I've never read it from beginning to end, like a regular novel. But I've read large fragments of it, most of it, over the years. And I knew the general plot and characters beforehand.

    I used to think that Gods and Angels were far from concrete. As in, unlike the Greek gods which are immortal beings but still touchable and even being able to be harmed.
    Milton's vision seem to give them some form of physicality. As in, God can be harmed by a weapon, and even defeated. The very same person who made the world. Uh. I wonder if he thought this through.

    I rebel against God.
    Let's see if Lucifers reason is as good as mine.
    "Be good to one another or fock off."
    The Gospel acording to Thomas Doubting 1:1

      I mean having any kind of Humanity is the point than senseless violence
      I mean rebellion against God is acceptable as most will do in some point in their life but sympathy for Satan you kind lost the plot at that point

      @@lettuceman9439 Don't remember the video, it was a year ago aparently.
      But depending on what part of the mythos you look at and how you read it, the satan is yous one of God's flunkies.
