comes along bort posted:Bitching about immigrants is part of our founding principles: Funny thing is, my mother's side of the family is so Pennsylvania Dutch that, by my grandma's generation, they still were only half-integrated. My grandparents spoke almost entirely in dialect among family members, they lived in a community which was mostly PA Dutch, ate only their traditional foods, and we had several Nazi sympathizers running around during WWII. And yet that side of the family is all anti-immigrant as gently caress. (I've even shown some of them that quote. Their response? "Yeah, but we're German, so we obey the rules." No. We're not German. Nobody in this family has set foot in Germany since 1720-something. Get off it.)

Air is lava! posted:What's the deal with that anyway? I've seen tons of comments from people who almost literally claim this and that Obama should finally say that. They always write those words in all caps though. Obama's true name is Msirorret Cimalsi Lacidar and him saying it out backwards will send him back to his home dimension of Kenya .

Polythiests and idolaters, what with relics and stuff like that. *EDIT* There's also casual racism thrown in to it, at least with my Baptist/Church of Christ kinfolk out in west Texas. Most if all of the Catholics that they know are Mexican. Granted, part of the reason of this is because the Baptist Church elders and what not chased off the German Catholics from the town but they don't really talk about that.

I would love to see what would have happened if Knut the great had come along a century earlier and had united the nordic countries, then reformed the Faith. Then again you'd probably get something hilarious like people in the UK in that timeline complaining about not being able to go to the cool "stone temples" they have in Southern Europe. Or that this Jesus fellow sounds really like Baldur, is there a connection?!

Basically all the complaints the right has about immigration nowadays existed back around the turn of the century but applied to the likes of Italians and Poles and Jews.

Yeah but that was before the unifying call to save the fetus swept evangelicalism, giving them common cause with Catholics that was further bolstered by hating the gays. Now it seems more like Catholics who aren't too ethnic, too into social justice, or too culturally different from evangelicals, are o.k. because they serve the mission.

I knew one. He wasn't very pro-Trump so much as he was anti-Clinton. He grew more uncertain with Trump as the campaign went on, but the final straw was the Khizr Khan case. He's a veteran, and how Trump talked about Gold Star families really upset him.

I haven't, but it's pretty interesting. Thanks for sharing! My dad delivers gas for a living (at least until the end of the year), and his company delivers to the BP station that got torched in Milwaukee. He was on the phone with the owner, the owner doesn't understand why they burned his store and is very sad. Edit: for those interested, he'll be getting insurance money and the store was kinda lovely so he won't go bankrupt or anything. He just thinks they thought he was responsible or something and were targeting him, because he had been having issues with local youth at the store. Apparently the clerk got stupid and fired some "warning shots" in the past and it turned into a shitfest. Lightning Knight fucked around with this message at 00:16 on Aug 15, 2016 |

I dated a girl in college who wanted to become Catholic after a trip to Italy where we visited a lot of Catholic Churches and stuff. She was from this po dunk town in Ohio and when she told her mom she said something like "Catholics? Don't they worship some woman?" I was dumbfounded. I grew up in an area where Catholicism was the norm and went to Catholic school and a Catholic college so I had never been exposed to any anti-Catholic sentiment that wasn't from the whole child abuse thing.

Just read Pagans reactions to Julian the Apostate to reestablish the old religion its all about blood sacrifice. Also I wonder if all of you would like to live in Ancient ROme what with their policies on women? Classic Greek, maybe not so much. But as a seperate arguement, did ancient Christianity change Roman attitudes towards women? Ancient Celtic/Germanic would be interesting, especially as I am sure that a lot of the religious rites the romans described just "upped the body count" as it were. I mean there wasn't really a sudden shift in what the Roman "Matrons" could do even after Christianity takes over. As for human blood? well it wouldn't suprise me, but it also wouldn't be the pre-modern world without executions for reasons we now find distinctly specuous. I mean look at the bog bodies, in that case it always seems to be a combination of "Sacrifice the king because we need a good harvest" but often just as much "This guy lost, chuck him in the marsh". And I wouldn't mind having a nice sacred bull steak after going to the newer temples. Maybe give mine away to the poor on Saturnalia. Of course I don't go as much as I should, but it's all about faith isn't it. And I truly believe that Jupiter lives in all of us, usually via having sex with some distant female ancestress.

Cutting yourself open is kind of hosed up but more of a hygiene/health thing. Cutting OTHER PEOPLE open is completely wrong, of course (though I don't think you have to dig too deep to find similar practices under a Christian umbrella). Also what's your source on these details?
