He had his own idea of Christendom made up by reading books and influenced only by that.
He thought that the world started as a chaos of elements from nothing and God came from that chaos as an angel, together with Him were born four archangels Lucifer, Gabriel, Michel and Rafael. Lucifer wanted to be as God but was cast out from Heaven with his followers. Then God made Adam and Eve, but when He saw that their sons didn't abide by the ten commandments sent Jesus, who was nothing but a men son of Mary and Joseph.
He rejected Mary's virginity saying that no man can be born from a virgin woman. Rejected all sacraments except communion.
He hoped to say his ideas to the pope, but "only" the Inquisition reached him and found him guilty twice, the first was tortured and sent back home the second time he was burnt.
Do your worst!
The first book I've finished reading this year, a curious micro-history which delves into the singular cosmology of a 16th century miller known colloquially as Menocchio and the persecution of his 'heresies' at the hands of the Church. Not only a worthwhile read for the unique spiritual and theological world of Menocchio, but also an example of how texts and their meanings change through each person's own individual filter, preconceptions and memory, as well as maybe a sign of the Church losing its dogmatic power over the common people in their ability to think and perceive the universe and its creation due to innovations such as the printing press.
Anyone with an interest in strange theology, the history of Christianity and its different sects, or if you've enjoyed the parts in Dostoyevsky's novels where a character goes on a fat rant against the church, I think you'd like this. Yeh pretty good yeh
A couple passages if anyone's interested:
"I have said that, in my opinion, all was chaos, that is, earth, air, water, and fire were mixed together; and out of that bulk a mass formed – just as cheese is made out of milk – and worms appeared in it, and these were the angels. The most holy majesty decreed that these should be God and the angels, and among that number of angels there was also God, he too having been created out of that mass at the same time, and he was named lord with four captains, Lucifer, Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael."
"It's an astonishing coincidence-even disquieting, unless one is willing to go along with quite unacceptable theories, such as the collective unconscious, or simplistic ones, such as chance. Certainly, Menocchio was speaking of a very real, not at all mythical, cheese—cheese that he had often seen being made (or perhaps that he himself had made). The shepherds of Altai, instead, had translated the same experience into a cosmogonic myth. But despite this difference, which shouldn't be underestimated, the coincidence remains. It can't be excluded that it may constitute one of the proofs, even though fragmentary and partly obliterated, of the existence of a millenarian cosmological tradition that, beyond the difference of languages, combined myth with science. It's curious that the metaphor of the revolving cheese recurs, a century after Menocchio's trial, in a book that would provoke considerable controversy--the attempt by the English theologian Thomas Burnet to harmonize Scripture with the science of his day. It may have b

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...
Notices there's only 2;
Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
I was just sitting there doing nothing.
