Fritz Coldcockin posted:I was in this camp until a couple days ago, but honestly? Polling is bearing the Democrats out on this one. They've got no reason to cave and every reason to let the GOP tear itself apart, especially as this extends into tax season. Trump is already trying to recall the furloughed IRS employees, so the administration clearly recognizes how bad it will be for them if their constituents do not get their tax returns. Aah yea if he's scrambling to get the IRS back I can see why you changed. I figured at this point he would tell them to stay home as a way to punish Americans for not forcing the D's to cave. I always expect the worst from this admin.

Lol the funniest thing is that the Rapture isn't even in the loving Bible. So all these conserva-chuds will be suffering the end times with the rest of the heathens. They justify the rapture by the "thief in the night" verse and go galaxy brain with it instead of interpreting it as "it will be a surprise"

I'm still waiting for this intraparty feuding to tear the GOP apart. The Trump administration keeps coming up with unprecedented ways to being the worst presidency in recent US history. I only say recent US history because I need to brush up on my earlier US history.

BarbarianElephant posted:Most Christian sects teach that the only criteria for going to heaven is to confess your sins, repent of them, and accept Jesus as your savior. The immigration equivalent might be "Everyone who applies at a crossing point and is truthful on their application gets in instantly." The other point of confusion comes when they don’t follow the teachings or word of Christ and do their own insane, hypocritical or bad thing. As it was explained to me it is taught no one can meet Christ’s level so don’t even try and that’s not a criteria for anything. So you don’t have to follow Christ’s teachings or path since you could never measure up anyway. Just tithe money to bribe your way with a generous contribution, confess sins so it can be used for blackmail, and yell Jesus every now and then to show promote us and you’re good.

Sigh. Revelations 21:21-25 posted:And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, transparent as glass. And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine upon it, for the glory of God is its light, and its lamp is the Lamb. By its light shall the nations walk; and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory into it, and its gates shall never be shut by day—and there shall be no night there

Yeah, I think one of the most important errors that Democratic strategists have made over the past decade has been to assume that intraparty feuding would tear the GOP apart at some point. That never really happened, unfortunately. It may eventually happen, but it was probably a mistake to not treat Republicans in government as a monolithic entity that was always going to fall in line when it came time to vote.

AlBorlantern Corps posted:I never flew before 9/11 and really wish I could experience what it was like pre TSA. Didn't take my first flight til I was like 27, 9 years later I still remember taking my mom to the airport when I was a kid. 5 kids running through the airport corridors, sliding down the hilariously long escalators, riding the moving sidewalks, screwing around on the trains, and sitting at the terminal to watch her board. She always flew out at either 5am or like 10pm so the airport was never packed with people. It was cool. Now you can't even get past the atrium at Hartsfield/Jackson without a boarding pass.

Well, some things that some sects believe don't have a Biblical basis and aren't universal among all sects. So saying that they are "fan fiction" is a nerdy way of saying "later additions to canon." The Rapture, for instance, is big in American churches but not really among European churches, and is based on a rather tortured reading of the New Testament.
