Arius: Dooooooooooood! DAH!

Angry bystander: You're wrong! Jesus is God!

Arius: Ooooooh, Jesus was a dude!

Constantine: An "i"? This is all over an extra "i"?

    Thanks Sam! (Can I call you Sam?) We’re still in the stage of experimentation with Emperors, trying to figure out what works and what doesn’t. So your support means a lot to me!
