> Who says "kill all the Apaches"

The US Cavalry? This was what I first thought until I got to the "in RAM" part. I thought it a very strange request at first.

edit: typo which gave a very different meaning




You mean Cavalry?

Calvary was always a strange way to say “Golgotha”, not really sure HOW OR WHY Christians adopted it


Golgotha is from the Greek, via Aramaic via Hebrew, and refers to the skull. Calvary is from the Latin translation again referring to the skull.


About the verse about Jesus giving Simon a new name after a rock's stability, I was kinda disappointed the writers chose the word "Peter" (Greek word, root of petrified, petroleum) instead of the Aramaic word.


thanks. stupid autocorrect. i think capitalizing it had an effect
