Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

I just want you to know I read him too and like him as well.

But yea protestant colonial stuff is hilarious to look at because it involves being 100% certain Satan was an active force in the world seeking to hurt YOU, yes YOU personally not just the general concept of Christendom because you are just such a good good god boy that your faith must be broken...but also that the mere act of saying 'uuuh I believe in God!!!!" is enough to make Satan flee in terror.

Also if you want a fun read, try to find his "The Dangers of Apostasy" (something like that) book where he posits that basically everything bad will happen to you if you lose your faith, not just spiritually but like, animals will hate you and bears will eat your kids and poo poo.

I wish I had as much free time now to continue pursuing that demented mindset that was the protestant publications. If I could, I'd put Increase Mather and Hunter Thompson in a cage and let them figure it out.

I'd appreciate a summary of Apostasy, if you wouldn't mind. I just don't have as much time to read as I'd like.

At the end of the day, even if it's college English 101 poo poo, nothing will ever hurt my soul more than just imagining that some jackass equivalent of Popof that we have today was roaming the country and comparing people's souls to a spider that God grabs by the rear end in a top hat and holds over a flame that's going to roast them for eternity. I feel bad for the people who felt it then and I feel bad for the folk who are suckered into it now.

Why? WHy??????? Why would your conception of god, an extrapolation of yourself and your own possible greatness, be a being who delights in the idea of punishing you????

I wonder if Puritan witches were sexy

i got a thing for witches and as an expert from what i understand from the movies they generally had to gently caress the Devil Himself in order to seal the contract (which was signed in their own blood, natch) and then they gained magic powers so like they could make themselves prettier immediately but as they get older it takes stronger and stronger magic to maintain the same effect so it starts requiring blood sacrifices, etc. They use blood magic in general and the younger and purer the blood, the better

This is completely different from the older European legends about witches, many of whom were basically just herbalists of various strains

Why? WHy??????? Why would your conception of god, an extrapolation of yourself and your own possible greatness, be a being who delights in the idea of punishing you????

it's been ages since I read it myself but basically if I remember right it was a half-serious 'hey maybe faith as a concept is a good thing to have even if people can misuse it' and half-joke 'and if you don't do what the preacher says nature itself will rise against you and devour your farm, now let me tell you why magicians are evil and not to be trusted' kinda stuff. Basically like a lot of his writing he very clearly didn't think faith itself was a problem, but the problem was assholes on power trips who decided they must simply be the final arbiter of God himself's words. The dude was a pretty hardcore Puritan, he got real mad at stuff like allowing non-member's kids to be baptized into the faith and all, but hilariously that hardcore, very specific Puritan style, is what made him such a solid legal advocate at the time. He very genuinely believed some dude running a colony like a dictator and holding trials to root out witches on obviously fake evidence was bad because his hardcore rear end beliefs said that Satan was so powerful that if he REALLY wanted to just enchant a lady and gently caress with the town he'd just do it and not leave behind some kind of weird chain of witnesses and all.

It was a fantastic conflict between political faith and real faith, you can argue the merits of his Puritan beliefs all you want but the guy was consistent and he got absolutely pissed at what he viewed as political losers trying to co-opt God.

i do marketing at my job and part of that is sending out binders to potential clients that sum up our business and what we do. a couple pages in we have the "Meet the team!" pages woth headshots next to a paragraph ddescribing their education and a careern summary and what they actually do

by and large they are unremarkable but this being finance youc an do a job for a long long time and weve got a copule people in their late 70s still trading and poo poo. the older guys tend not to update their headshots and have ridiculous frizzy semi-afro headshots of them from the 90s

that gum line. that is the most awful business headshot ive seen and of course a trump would proudly pay money for a tacky photo like that and actually use it

like i imagine the photographer was loving with him and kept telling him to smile bigger so he could get more of that gumline in and he lold really really hard when he actually chose the joke shot he put in his packet

The gumline wouldn't be that bad if the lower lip moved at all. He looks like he's trying to poker sneer rather than smile

also, just a heads up for everyone, your local grocery store is all out of meat and booze because it's new years. this is the perfect time to pick up a bottle of absolut for 12-14 bucks and a shitload of decent quality meat

Oh, of course. Remember the outbursts when Harry Potter debuted in theaters and people thought it was the devil's works teaching kids how to do real magic?
I've personally known a few people that though exorcisms were real and those asian face changers were satan incarnate.
The short of it is people are stupid and still willing to assign supernatural powers to what they don't understand

Jonathan Edwards was hilarious about spiders in general. He has multiple sermons and letters about how he was so pissed that spiders just ballooned around between the trees on their webs "in a most unaccountable manner" that he went out and whacked bushes with sticks and tormented spiders until he could figure out how they did it.
