Inspired by Jacksfilms’s Yesterday I Asked You series, or YIAY for short. I’m going to ask a Jacksfilms-style question, and other posters must give humorous answers. Tomorrow, I will repeat the question and give my favorite answers. I will then let another poster ask a new question, and the cycle repeats (at least) every day.

Example of a YIAY video.

If the original poster isn’t available to give their favorite answers, another poster is free to step in and give theirs (barring their own).

I have a question for you. Describe TV Tropes in just 4 words.

It's high time The Bible had more LGBTQ+ representation. Therefore we're going to rewrite the story of Sodom and Gomorrah so that the men of the cities are clearly gay. We all know how much fandoms love Ho Yay shipping headcanons, after all, don't we? The men of Sodom being gay was a common fanon/headcanon for a long time (around 1,500 years I believe) despite never being confirmed in-text, but now it's officially canon. I'm sure that the LGBTQ+ community will love having more representation in media; What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Deuteronomy 23:13 needs to change. In modern times, we use the toilet.

And... I just realized I have very little experience with most religious texts so half these jokes are gonna fly over my head. Apologies if your joke was really funny and I don't include it as a favorite because I'm dumb.

Add Blorbo from My Shows. Everyone loves Blorbo, they're always talking about them on tumblr!

I assume this refers to a specific character in a specific work and I don't need to do any further research on it.

I would try to be a crowd-pleaser by occasionally grabbing random fan theories and confirming them as canon.

Edit the Quran to include scenes of Mohhamad beating up those who oppress women, gay people, and non-Muslims, as well as explicitly condemning the concept of holy war. That's right, I'm making Kung-Fu Mohhamad Way Cool.

Ritual Human sacrifice has been largely eliminated from modern religions.

This is unacceptable, human sacrifice was a major part of several historically important religions that existed in places that conquered many neighbors and non-neighbors or did very important merchant things, or both. Therefore human sacrifice shall be brought back, because apparently it correlates with success.

After all, the Norse, the Romans, several celtic religions, most Indo-European religions in general actually, they and probably their ancestor religion certainly seemed to have something about ritual sacrifice in them, the Aztecs, and the Inca all did pretty well for themselves, and even the various christianties accept the necessity of at least one human (or divine, or both, depending on which christianity you subscribe to) sacrifice. Therefore, clearly ritual sacrifice of humans causes good things to happen.

Yesterday I asked You You have been tasked with rewriting religious texts to better fit with modern sensibilities, how do you go about it?

Here are the best answers (in my opinion).

Sticking it to the homophobes.

  • "Make everyone gay. If people can't stop misquoting the Bible to excuse homophoic shit, then make the Bible and any other religious text explicitly gay AF so it's clear to the homophobes that the Bible ain't an excuse." -Cutegirl920fire

This isn't even funny it's just depressingly accurate:

  • "Make the Greek gods less rapey, that might have worked in ancient Greece, but in the modern day all you'll attract are Incels." -Superjohn

Well you're not wrong, per se.

  • "Deuteronomy 23:13 needs to change. In modern times, we use the toilet." -StewieGriffin34

Knowing Tumblr, Blorbo already has their own dedicated religion:

  • "Add Blorbo from My Shows. Everyone loves Blorbo, they're always talking about them on tumblr! I assume this refers to a specific character in a specific work and I don't need to do any further research on it." -wingedcatgirl

That's called Protestantism:

  • "I would try to be a crowd-pleaser by occasionally grabbing random fan theories and confirming them as canon." -FernandoLemon

You know, I never actually thought about Jesus being a human sacrifice but you're actually kind of right:

  • "Ritual Human sacrifice has been largely eliminated from modern religions. This is unacceptable, human sacrifice was a major part of several historically important religions that existed in places that conquered many neighbors and non-neighbors or did very important merchant things, or both. Therefore human sacrifice shall be brought back, because apparently it correlates with success. After all, the Norse, the Romans, several celtic religions, most Indo-European religions in general actually, they and probably their ancestor religion certainly seemed to have something about ritual sacrifice in them, the Aztecs, and the Inca all did pretty well for themselves, and even the various christianties accept the necessity of at least one human (or divine, or both, depending on which christianity you subscribe to) sacrifice. Therefore, clearly ritual sacrifice of humans causes good things to happen." -Florien

As for what I would change? Well besides a few rules I'd probably just explicitly say Jesus was Ace. Because you can't tell me a man that disinterested in sexual desires is Allo (Allosexual is the opposite if Asexual for those not up on their LGBT+ lingo).

For the record, this is something I've discussed with actual Christians before and they've told me that apparently there's a lot more evidence that Jesus was Ace than any other sexuality.
