>Long ago, the four Evangelists lived in harmony. Then everything changed when St Matthew attacked.

Doesn't Air make more sense for John? That Gospel's symbol is an eagle, after all.

Yeah, Luke and John should be swapped. John's Gospel was the least earthly by quite a lot after all

the story of christian theological development is making shit up to "complete" numbers that were pretty to pagan ears, like the inclusion of the Holy Spirit into the godhead. Likewise John was shoehorned in

It should be St John who attacked, since he's not synoptic

It's almost like the whole thing is an allegory, and not meant to be taken literally.

On the other hand, John is the Gospel where Jesus draws in the dirt when the woman accused of adultery is brought to him. Also the Gospel where one of Jesus' healings involves him spitting in the dirt to make mud and putting it on a man's eyes. I'd say Earth is fine for John. Meanwhile Luke's Gospel has heavy involvement of the Holy Spirit and I think it also includes the Ascension, so Air could fit for it, too.
