Reply to He can descend from the skies, shine light on everyone, sendings a booming voice across the globe that He has arrived, and there will still be people who won't believe a word He says by eggtart_prince

Yeah, not everyone will accept Him, but Jesus gives everyone a chance until His Return or their death to believe what was written and recorded in the Bible (and acknowledged by several historians, as well). We know Christ’s message of hope will be spread throughout the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Just as the Bible predicted, we have already seen Israel established as a nation and the gospel has reached a large number of countries. Based on that I would say Jesus is truly coming soon and we should keep looking up!

I don’t care if I’m downvoted for this comment. I may be a millennial, but I will trust my Lord and Savior until the end.

Reply to comment by goofwayne in At some point, someone thought to ground up the meat of a pig, shove it inside its own intestines, and cook it for people to eat. by greatpoomonkey

This,

The sausage as we know it is about 2000 years old, but it seems even the Sumerians used this preserving method. The first written mention is in Homer's Odysee and it was a common theatre food, called "Orya". And briefly sausages were even banned in Europe by the church.

It was hard to store smaller scraps of meat or more liquid parts like blood, so the just shoved them into a container that came with the animal, the intestines. Just made sense.

Though you guys would appreciate a short essay, instead of googeling around yourselves.
