I can understand why this creature's son distances himself, but blood usually ends up being thicker than water, even if dad is a wannabe reptile.
I also imagine this guy has an independent income or he's got a gig lined up as a traveling 1-man freak show . . . but who knows? These days, with progressivism being what it is, he can find a job somewhere and become a stunning and brave inspiration to so-called "transhuman" freaks.
The saying is "The blood of the Covenant is thicker than the water of the womb". So it actually means that bonds you forged yourself can be stronger than family.
As an addendum, this is not Transhumanism.. This is Otherkin. Mental illness trans"species". Please don't confuse the two.
I can't imagine how much pain my confusing the one form of insanity with the other might have caused Otherkin who might be reading this.
There's being pedantic and then there's just correcting someone when they're wrong. It's best to be corrected in a relatively friendly place like this than to go and refer to a freak who thinks he is an animal as a trans-humanist elsewhere and get laughed at for it.
I know I still laugh at my brother for thinking globalism is a synonym for being able to have trade and travel between different countries, and that anyone pushing back on it genuinely wants every country to be like 1700s Japan and close themselves off to the world.

I suppose you're right.
Your reply has also led me to look into these differences.
Thanks for the motivation I needed to clarify these things in my mind.
I must shed this habit of becoming snarky when I'm properly contradicted or corrected. I blame online anonymity. It feeds my egotism.
Horrifying.

Thanks for setting me straight.
I was unaware of the origin of the homily. Live and learn. Did I get that one right? Or am I using another old saw out of context?

I will reform, Commissar.
