i thought it was usually that militant atheists come from fundamentalist households

and the rhetoric for both is usually the same too

i had a high school friend from a militant christian household go full fledged fedora atheism once he left home. a few years later he went back to full blown turbo-christian. then back again.

last i heard he had been diagnosed with bpd.

also stymie was right

At age 42, Wright converted from atheism to Christianity citing a profound religious experience with visions of the "Virgin Mary, her son, and His Father, not to mention various other spirits and ghosts over a period of several days" and claiming that prayers he made were answered.

what do you mean that sounds perfectly stable

IT'S JOHN WRIGHT'S BIRTHDAY TOMORROW, AND HE'S 42!

other than that, Kevin J Anderson getting nominated for best novel is such a terrible choice that the words barely fit together in a sentence

but lego movie is kind of a weird nomination for a sci-fi award, even though it was by all accounts pretty great

its a slate set by people who thought that too many women and minorities were nominated last year so they put together a coordinated campaign to nominate content that appeals to them

quote:

To Torgersen and Correia, this meant that a "rarefied, insular" group of writers were promoting their agenda by nominating works by women and people of color. To the rest of us, it looked as though science fiction and fantasy were finally catching up to reality � the best stories aren't only the ones told by straight white men.

Torgersen has argued that the real problem isn't just a trend towards nomination of diverse works, but also nominees that reflect literary, rather than popular, tastes. He's tended to paint "fandom" (meaning Worldcon attendees) as being out of touch with pop culture, and elitist. As he wrote in January, "while the big consumer world is at the theater gobbling up the latestAvengers movie, 'fandom' is giving 'science fiction�s most prestigious award' to stories and books that bore the crap out of the people at the theater: books and stories long on 'literary' elements... while being entirely too short on the very elements that made Science Fiction and Fantasy exciting and fun in the first place."
