Note

  • Grim is credited for drums on the album and appears on the cover, however, drums were played by Abbath.[2]
gollark: Well, the water-walking thing presumably has to either magically make him hover above the surface or effectively provide more contact area with the water, right?
gollark: Would that work? How is Jesus's water-walking thing implemented?
gollark: You can check whether the results of it are good by some other metric, but that just pushes the problem up a level.
gollark: Regarding objective morality: I don't understand how it's meant to work. Generally we consider things "true" if they're well-established by experiment and observation. I do not see how you can empirically test whether something is what you "should" do.
gollark: A kilobee is 1000 bees.
