i used to work on hgtv shows. if you ever hear one with a bunch of weird beeping in the background it's because i was loving around on the internet while laying the show off to tape. also yeah those shows are very depressing.

Oh yeah, the Presbyterian church in Waco is a Swaggart ministry. A guy I used to work with attended church there. According to him Donnie Swaggart was cucking his own congregation. I dunno if it's true, but I believe it.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:what's a cathedral if not a megachurch? tbf cathedrals kind of make sense when you need a really big church and also a really big administrative center for your centralized church. not the like, giant vaulted ceiling part but the large widespread structure part an American megachurch is more about some dickhead in jeans explaining the GOD loves YOU to 5000 people st once. and that were totally gonna run a food kitchen if you could please donate to my boat fund

I live in one of those places and I think it's fine that Americans think it's socialism. That makes people open to the idea so their brains don't just immediately shut down when the word socialism comes up.

calling those nations socialist is just a rhetorical thing to use against conservatives when they claim that having worker protections and healthcare will lead to mass murder and you don’t have time to start going down the path of explaining the difference between social democracy, socialism, and communism in a series of “well actually”s
