Seriously? They made voting ID a council issue? Northern Ireland has had voting ID for a while and it's dead easy to get one, only thing I needed to pay was postage on a 2nd class stamp. Pretty good as well as it basically makes a free photographic ID available
Pretty silly for something literally used by the European Union and other European Governments. Am I right in thinking the German Government is one of those?
They already survived it lol, nobody even noticed it happening. Probably because to post here a threads user has to format a post in a specific way for it to even render here
The Chosen takes a LOT of creative liberty for character building, a lot of decisions they make you can kind of see how they came to that decision. The Bible doesn't have much indication of St Matthew being autistic (unlike it implying Joseph, Mary's husband, was dead by the time Jesus' ministry began), but here's why I think the writers of The Chosen came to the conclusion,
First, here's some things we know about Matthew:
He is a disciple of Jesus
He is Jewish
He is the most likely candidate for writing the gospel of Matthew
He was a tax collector, but Jesus called him out of that.
The first doesn't really carry any bearing, I just thought it was important to note. The second point affects the third. The Gospel of Matthew starts with a genealogy, and throughout the Gospel a lot of references are made to Jewish Scripture/Old testament. There's also quite a lot of detail in Jesus' teachings (It carries the most detailed account of the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7 and Jesus' teachings), so the writer of it was basically a nerd in Jewish scripture and tradition and very well educated in it.
Fourth point about being a tax collector, tax collectors needed to be well educated and the job was well paid but generally meant taking money from people who couldn't afford it. It was also a role carried out by Jews for the occupying Romans. So basically anyone who did it was immediately an outcast, but it required good education and had good pay. So it would make sense for an autistic person who would struggle with social concepts and would already be seen as an outcast of sorts but was fine with education to take up the job.
