    Slightly fuller explanation: The original family name must have been Aßmas. In German, the ß is called the Eszett or scharfes S. The word Eszett comes from the two letters that make up the sound of the ß character: S(Es-) and Z(-zett). The Ace-mas pronunciation is about the closest you can get using standard English letters.

    So why use the b? Well, the countries that use German as a language, but do not use the special characters, use a double s (ss) to replace the ß. Put that into the name and you can get an idea why an ancestor of Max chose to do something different and just live with the constant mispronunciations.

    Don’t bother. If god is real and actually cared, he would have reached out a long time ago.

    He's real. He cares. And he did reach out in a major way. Check out the Easter story for reference.
    I don't care what Jim says. That is not the real Ben Franklin. I'm 99% certain.

    Lol. Cool story, bro.

    Question for you, if the Easter story is the ultimate display of love and forgiveness, why does it require a sacrifice? When you forgive someone, do you require some blood first?

    Most Christians are more good and loving than the god they worship.

    If you want to be forgiven you must accept on faith that Easter story. Otherwise you will burn in fire for eternity. She cares so much these are the rules she's chosen to configure the universe by.

    Yep. And if you use the same logic and apply them to all other religions, they must also be true. Sigh.
