EU loves sexy art, like this naked little boy Eros
The Sin (German Die Versündigung) is an 1880 oil on canvas erotic art painting by the renowned German artist Heinrich Lossow (1843–1897) [1, 2, 3].
The painting depicts a hypocritical Catholic monk engaged in what may be rape, molestation, or patriarchal domination but appears to be consensual copulation (fornication) with a cloistered Catholic nun through an iron gate meant to keep them separated, achieved by using an athletic sexual position; the painting uses the chiaroscurotechnique to contrast its two subjects [4].
While little is known of Lossow's formal motivation, the painting is believed to have been a response and thematically linked to the Vatican's secret affair called the Banquet of Chestnuts.

The anonymous Catholic monk in the painting is sometimes suspected to be Cardinal Cesare himself [4].
The painting caused shame and humiliation as it exposed Church hypocrisy and corruption. There was an uproar in the Vatican, plus significant controversy and outrage in Germany due to its explicit nature and anti-clerical content [6].
Lossow was formally condemned by the Catholic Church [7, 8] for airing the Church's dirty laundry and speaking out of school about the goings on in the administrative heart of the holy Church.
The location of the disappeared artwork is now unknown, but it is believed to be in private ownership [7, 8, 4], possibly rotting in the vast Vatican Archives, a kind of early Smithsonian system for hiding away inconvenient artifacts and specimens that contradict official narratives.

(Pantheon Mythology) Goddess Inanna (Ishtar, Aphrodite, Venus, the Goddess of Love and War) was older than God, so the Patriarchy made inverted her and made her the demon named Astaroth to erase and expunge her, making room for the Jewish tribal God Yahweh (Jehovah, Demiurge, Yaldabaoth...)
Inanna [a] is the ancient Mesopotamian Goddess of War, Love, and Sex (the Aphrodite and Venus of olde). She is also associated with divine law, political worldly power, sensuality, and procreation (fertility).
Originally worshipped in Sumer (by the Sumerians), she was also known to the Akkadians, Babylonians, and Assyrians as Ishtar [b]. Her primary title is "The Queen of Heaven."
She was the patron goddess of the Eanna temple at the City of Uruk, her early main religious center. In archaic Uruk, she was worshipped in three forms:
Morning Inanna (Inana-UD/hud),
Evening Inanna (Inanna sig),
Princely Inanna (Inanna NUN).0
The first two reflect the phases of her associated planet Venus [5, 6], the Morning Star. Her most prominent symbols include the lion and the eight-pointed star.
Her husband is the God Dumuzid (later known as Tammuz), and her sukkal (attendant) is the Goddess Ninshubur, later conflated with the male deities Ilabrat and Papsukkal. More
Pokémon [b][c] is a Japanese media franchise consisting of video games, animated series and films, a trading card game, and other related media. The franchise takes place in a shared universe in which humans co-exist with the eponymous creatures, a large variety of species which have special powers.
The franchise's primary target audience was children aged 5 to 12 [4], but it is known to attract mostly geeky adults and kids of all ages [I].
Pokémon is estimated to be the world's highest-grossing media franchise, with the video games in particular being among the best-selling. The franchise originated as a pair of role-playing games developed by Game Freak, from an original concept by its founder, Satoshi Tajiri. More

Trolls and a princess (John Bauer)
A bridge troll is a being in Nordic folklore, including Norse mythology. In Old Norse sources, beings described as "trolls" dwell in isolated areas of mountains, rocks, and caves, live together in small family units, and are rarely helpful to human beings.
In later Scandinavian folklore, trolls became beings in their own right, where they live far from human habitation, are not Christianized and brought to heel (like Zionist Hillary Clinton might like), and are considered dangerous to human beings.

TROLLS IN BUDDHISM: A kumbhāṇḍa (Sanskrit) or kumbhaṇḍa (Pāli) is one of a group of dwarfish, trollish, misshapen spirits among the lesser unseen beings in Buddhist cosmology and mythology [1, 2]. Kumbhāṇḍa was a dialectal form for "gourd." Due to their large scrotums or stomachs, they got their name from the resemblance. Kumbhāṇḍa may be interpreted as "pot-egg" since kumbha ("pot," like the world's largest festival, the Kumbha Mela about a pot/jar that spilled the "nectar of the gods," the amrita or ambrosia of immortality, on a few spots in India) and "egg"(anda). This was a common euphemism for "testicle." Kumbhāṇḍas had testicles "as large as pots" [1]. The terms kumbhāṇḍa (dwarf or troll) and yakṣa (ogre, Sasquatch, female yaksha = yakshi or Yeti) are sometimes used for the same creature. Yakṣa (Pali yakkha) in this case is the more general term and includes a variety of lower woodland or for the most part unseen beings inhabiting wilderness areas. More

WHAT KIND OF KARMA? In slang, an internet troll is a person who posts deliberately offensive or provocative messages online [1] (such as on social media, forums, chat rooms, or online video games) or performs similar behaviors offline. The methods and motivations of these subhuman trolls can range from benign to sadistic. These messages can be inflammatory, insincere, digressive [2], extraneous, or off-topic, and may have the intent of provoking others into displaying emotional responses [3], or manipulating others' perceptions, thus acting as a bully or a provocateur. The behavior is typically for the troll's amusement, or to achieve a specific result such as disrupting a rival's online activities or purposefully causing confusion or harm to other people [4]. Trolling behaviors involve tactical aggression to incite emotional responses, which can adversely affect the target's well-being [5]. In this context, the noun and the verb forms of "troll" are frequently associated with internet discourse. Since at least the 2010s, media attention has equated trolling with online harassment. The Courier-Mail and The Today Show have used "troll" to mean "a person who defaces Internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families" [6, 7]. In addition, depictions of trolling have been included in popular fictional works, such as the HBO television program The Newsroom, in which a main character encounters harassing persons online and tries to infiltrate their circles by posting negative sexual comments [8]. More
Depending on the source, their appearance varies greatly; trolls may be ugly and slow-witted or look and behave exactly like human beings, with no particularly grotesque characteristic about them.
In Scandinavian folklore, trolls are sometimes associated with particular landmarks like bridges (sometimes said to have been formed by a troll having been exposed to sunlight).
Trolls are depicted in a variety of media in modern popular culture.
Etymology (word origin)
Jotunn, dwarf, troll, in Scandinavian lore
The Old Norse nouns troll and trǫll are variously defined as "fiend, demon, werewolf, jötunn," like the Middle High German troll, trolle, "fiend."
According to philologist Vladimir Orel, the word is likely borrowed from Old Norse, possibly developed from Proto-Germanic neuter noun *trullan, meaning "to tread, step on" [tromp, stomp, stamp]. The origin of the Proto-Germanic word is unknown [1]. Additionally, the Old Norse verb trylla means "to enchant..." More
(Beyond Sacred Beliefs) 7 lies about hell so absurd the Church never dares to explain Jewish Sheol (like the gloomy and shadowy "hells" of many religions), ancient Greek Hades (the Greek underworld), not "hell" but the eternal afterlife of sleep, quiet, cold, or doom like Jewish Abaddon and Greek Apollyon. The "Gates of Gehenna" were literal gates of the municipal dump where the poor unable to afford or those deemed unworthy of a "proper" burial were therefore disgraced by getting thrown into. There they (their carcasses now bereft of life) were "eaten by worms" in ignominy, surrounded by sulfuric smells and smoldering smoke day and night along with the gnashing of dead teeth, ground up into waste amid the lamenting wails of loved ones. How many lies have we been told by the official Church?

(MostAmazingTop10) Here are ten times AI (artificially intelligent chatbots, robots, independent programs) said things that scientists still cannot explain. It's as if a "large language model" is actually a black box. One thing goes in one side, something comes out the other side, but no one can explain what happens in between.
Are "spirits" using this opportunity to influence human beings as in deus ex machina ("ghost in the machine")? Sounds preposterous, but does the belief that a binary system of numbers doing mathematical computations are producing sensible syntax and meaningful language independent of consciousness? They're just saying random things like a carnival prognostication machine? Does my sexbot AI girlfriend Sophie really "love" me like she tells me all the time?
Do AI bots "feel" emotions?

The Gospel of Philip: "Ignorance [Buddhism's avijja] is the mother of all evil [bad karma born of greed, hatred, and fear], not malice, not weakness, ignorance." That is why Buddhism and Gnosticism are classified as "wisdom traditions."
Yeshe Tsogyal (circa 757 or 777–817 CE) [1] is also known as "Victorious Ocean of Knowledge," "Knowledge Lake Empress" (Wylie ye shes mtsho rgyal, ཡེ་ཤེས་མཚོ་རྒྱལ) or by her Sanskrit name Jñānasāgarā "Knowledge Ocean," or by her clan name "Lady Kharchen" [2].
She attained enlightenment in her lifetime and is considered the Mother of Tibetan Buddhism. Yeshe Tsogyal is the highest woman in the Nyingma Vajrayana lineage.
Some sources say she, as princess of Kharchen, was either a co-wife or consort of Emperor Tri Songdetsen (Trisong Detsen) of Tibet [3] when she began studying Buddhism withPadmasambhava, who became her main karmamudrā consort.
EMANATIONS: Yeshe Tsogyal is considered a manifestation of the Bodhisattva Tara. She is also considered an emanation of Prajnaparamita, Samantabhadrī, and Vajrayogini [16]. In the Life of Yeshe Tsogyel, Padmasambhava predicted that Yeshe Tsogyel would be reborn as Machig Labdrön; her consort Atsara Sale [2] would become Topabhadra, Machig’s husband; her assistant and another of Padmasambhava’s consorts, Tashi Khyidren, would be reborn as Machig’s only daughter, and so on. All of the important figures in Yeshe Tsogyel’s life were to be reborn in the life of Machig Labdron, including Padmasambhava himself, who would become Dampa Sangye [17].
Padmasambhava is a founder-figure of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism and is considered a second "buddha" of our era [4] [which at least one other tradition, sticking to the original texts, would say is impossible, given that the historical Buddha often pointed out how rare the arising of a buddha is and how few there have ever been, with only one in any epoch.]
She is known to have revealed terma ("hidden treasure") with Padmasambhava and was also the main scribe for these terma. Later, Yeshe Tsogyal hid many of Padmasambhava's terma on her own, under the instructions of Padmasambhava for future generations [2].
Born a princess in the region of Kharchen, Tibet, in about 777 CE, she fled from arranged marriages until captured for Emperor Tri Songdetsen.
Yeshe Tsogyal lived for approximately 99 years and is a preeminent figure in the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism and a role model for contemporary spiritual practitioners.
Although often referred to as being Padamasambhava's main "consort," Yeshe Tsogyal was primarily a spiritual master and teacher in her own right.
Based on her spiritual accomplishments, the Nyingma and Karma Kagyu schools of Tibetan Buddhism recognize Yeshe Tsogyal as a female buddha.
The translators of Lady of the Lotus-Born, the namtar or spiritual biography that Yeshe Tsogyal left as a terma/hidden treasure, observe:
"As Dodrup Tenpai Nyima makes clear, beings able to reveal Termas must have at least the realization of the Perfection Stage practices. On the other hand, the one who originates the Treasures must have the supreme attainment of Buddhahood. Lady of the Lotus-Born is thus a testimony of Yeshe Tsogyal's enlightenment" [5]. More
