@BlackDumpling I'm a forever DM. However I thought it would be interesting if I was a player to make a Cleric of Christ and call it Light or Healing and see how long until my players noticed. :)
We are adults and it would be tasteful.

Dungeons and Dragons Cleric of Jesus Christ: If you are a Christian, would you object to a player playing as a Cleric of Jesus Christ in your game?
Assume good intent. This is not being done as mockery, or an attempt at blasphemy or the like. I'm not saying they're theologically correct, only that their intentions are not malicious.
Assume that, through some esoteric means (it's D&D, stranger things have happened) the character, as part of their backstory, found Jesus Christ and began to spread the Word to the best of their ability (the Character lacks access to centuries of Christian doctrine, mistakes will be made).
They request their choice of Life, Peace, and Knowledge domains (alternatively Light as well but not sure how well a Cleric of Jesus Christ chucking fireballs plays out).
Further, their intent is to play it straight. They would follow the tenets and other core beliefs as much as possible within the realm of D&D...
Symbol: A simple wooden cross (or a lamb, or the ichthys/fish).
Favored Weapon: None, or open hand/unarmed strike.
Worshipers: The poor and forgotten, repentant sinners, the sick, healers, those who suffer for righteousness, and anyone seeking forgiveness and new life. They would focus on devoted selfless service, humility, charity, and living the Sermon on the Mount.
Tenets:
Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind; love your neighbor (even enemies) as yourself.
Forgive as you have been forgiven (seventy times seven).
Blessed are the meek, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers.
Take up your cross daily, self-denial and sacrificial love.
“I am the way, the truth, and the life.”
I mean they're really looking to go the distance here.
Finally, and I want to make this clear, this isn't meant as some gotcha or a hidden cruelty. I'm asking because I've never actually heard this particular question addressed and I trust people to understand the gravity of the discussion.
So, would you object? And would them being a Christian themselves influence your decision at all?

@Gingerblast A campaign designed specifically for psionics could be cool. Never played in a campaign like that though.

@Gingerblast 5e has psionics...

In 2 years, no. But by 4 years (2-4 is really the ideal range) you will have 50% depreciation on most cars. TBH, if you're talking pure trade in value, most cars lose 20% of their value the moment they are titled. So that first 24 months (if financed) are WAY upside down and unlikely to ever sell. The only 2 year old cars people typically get to buy are just off lease

@jared_johnston @NickFreiling Toyota does not lose 50% of its value.

Meh, it's not "smarter" to buy new. Buying new cars is really dumb.
You're smartest to buy a 2 year old low milage car
Every vehicle takes a 50%+ hit on depreciation that first 24 months of life. There is no such thing as luck of the draw on a 2 year old car. You know you're getting a reliable car, without 50% of the price tag

I just don't get the love for Blade Runner. The narrative is a mess, Harrison Ford just phones it in (the voice-over makes him sound half-asleep), the sci-fi noir mashup never quite works and I can't stand the overall look of the thing. Initial critics were right: it's a dog.
