Some religious STDH courtesy of a the book jacket on a reprint of Left Behind:Tim LaHaye posted:One woman asked me to sign her dilapidated paperback of Left Behind. Turning it over, I said, “This book looks like it has a story behind it.” Through her tears she told how her atheist father, who loved reading fiction, bought it for just 25 cents at a garage sale. When he found out it was a Christian book he wanted to get rid of it and gave it to her. She read it and accepted Christ. Then she gave it to her brother and he did the same. He passed it on to their four siblings and all of them accepted Christ. Their lives were so changed over the ensuing nine months that the woman’s father said, “Do you still have that book I gave you? I’d like to read it.” He did and he too became a believer! Think of it — seven atheists won to Christ for 25 cents! Now that is what I call a bargain — and that’s the real reason we write these books. For writers it doesn’t get any better than that. Born-again Christians are great sources of STDH. "An entire family of atheists converted to Christianity after reading a lovely paperback!" "Jesus personally appeared to a little girl and protected her from being shot by her dad (but still let him shoot her mom and then himself)!" "I was Literally Hitler before I found the Lord!"

Fred Clark's analysis of the Left Behind series are one of the best things to come out of those books.

Pththya-lyi posted:Some religious STDH courtesy of a the book jacket on a reprint of Left Behind: I was on the computer one night and my wife fell asleep on the couch watching something on the DVR. The program finished and somehow the channel it flipped back to was playing The 700 Club and you would think from the stories they are selling, you could donate $20 to them and become a millionaire overnight. edit: Read this about the 700 club trying to figure out how exactly it was on my TV. http://www.vulture.com/2016/01/pat-robertsons-700-club-will-be-on-forever.html. So you can watch a christian talk show and The Fosters, about an interracial lesbian couple that adopts at-risk youths, on the same channel.  nerox has a new favorite as of 22:13 on Jan 26, 2016 |

Pththya-lyi posted:Some religious STDH courtesy of a the book jacket on a reprint of Left Behind: This is a bit of a tangent, but I remember a long while back we were talking about historical STDH, like roman stories and stuff. Something about the phrasing there of "...and they all converted!" reminded me of the story of Saint George and the Dragon. Now, obviously with a tale about a knight and a dragon, that's STDH. But I love that it literally ends with "...and the entire village, 15 thousand people, and the king converted to Christianity on the spot!" STDH writing style has been popular since time immemorial.

Zaphod42 posted:This is a bit of a tangent, but I remember a long while back we were talking about historical STDH, like roman stories and stuff. TBF, back in the late Roman Empire/early Middle Ages, conversion was more of a political statement and didn't require the kind of personal, spiritual commitment we expect from "real" Christians today. When you read that the people in the story "converted," think "got baptized and pretty much went on with their previous lives for the most part."

Tbh if I saw a Saint slew a dragon, you're drat right I'd convert. Also "I don't even own a television" is a fun podcast about really bad books and they did a left behind episode iirc. What a terrible book.

CMOA--the Punisher.quote:Pyro Skittle had her crowning moment recently. There be a racist black jerkass at her school. She be one of the few who dealt with him in a forced manner because she is good friends with his girlfriend. How he even has a girlfriend Pyro(S) will never know. At this time it must be mentioned that Pyro(S) is the girl that makes friends with everyone, including ladybugs, (No really- they've assaulted me with their red-and-black lovin' almost monthly since last June,) can make friends with the most conservative Muslim girls that actually wear the veil and refuse to talk to non-Muslims, and has an ability to diffuse serious situations within two sentences and a tip of her hat. He said a comment that broke the straw that broke the camel's back after she warned him about her lack of patience when dealing with him for FOUR YEARS with continuous racist, hypocritical, and sexist comments virtually every time she dealt with him. He then called her fat. She got very quiet for a moment before shouting out loud, "Get Dangerous, Bitch!" kicking him in the balls- with skateboarding shoes that feel like iron boxes filled with cotton, no less, grabbing his fro and shoving his nose into her knee, waiting for him to try and stand up, and punching him hard enough in the kidney for him to shriek when he fell again. He couldn't get up. He now has a broken nose and *apparently* a very large and dark bruise on his groin, since he still talks in soprano after four days. Her English teacher told her that it was the most epic thing she had ever seen, and she used to teach in the low-income public school area. She wrote me up anyway, but only put in the cockkick because she'd gotten fed up with the jerkass, too. She now has no cell phone or TV until summer, and no regrets whatsoever. Let's hurt girls quote:This troper had a small one during a physical dispute in 8th grade. The class was going to receive their report cards, but the teacher refused to hand them out until the class settled down (they were always rowdy). This troper got annoyed by the delay and attempted to hush some people. One of the girls got in this troper's face and before you know it, she scratches at this troper locks her arm around this troper's neck and arms, trying to choke me. Without even thinking, this troper sunk his (that's right, Samus Is A boy) teeth into girl's arm. Some of the kids the day after praised me and others teased me asking how the girl tasted. To this day, all the people he told this story to have never put him down for physically defending himself against a girl. GIGA quote:This troper (henceforth referred to in first person) had a rather amazing one. On his way home from school, walking through a forest, I was beset by a schoolmate who had voiced his dislike of me on several occasions. He was also entertaining thoughts of putting the hurt on me and had no intention of letting me get away. So down to a brawl it was. Now, I'm 5'9", skinny and with all the muscle of a 12-year old girl. He's over 6' and has a good 30lbs of muscle on me. I could already see my buttocks on a silver platter. Surely enough, things went pretty bad for me. While he took every chance to taunt me, I was quickly running out of breath, energy, will and strength. And then he threatened my friends. This followed:

Ha, ha, ha, like anyone in the business of selling clothes wants people to think they look okay without other clothes that are for sale at the same store. I suppose that woman thinks that when waiters ask if she wants dessert that they're trying to give her diabetes.

I was taking a class today and we were divided into two teams and two people were made captains. I said "o captain my captain" out loud and one person groaned and another person also said "o captain my captain." Everyone then stood up and left some hours later.

Well to be fair a lot of stuff they read is sexist on some levels and only rarely did I feel that he made a big huff about something that did not deserve it  . He does seem to be very engaged and attentive about that stuff but I don't think it detracts from the rest of the podcast tbh.
