Ror posted:Can't wait for a day full of nuclear takes This is so cosmically wrong that it remains wrong even if, in rhetorical sleight of hand, she got to count every person who died of any cause, worldwide, on the date 2001-09-11. And it would be true even if she counted against it only the deaths of enslaved people at sea on the Atlantic crossing. Under those conditions, it is wrong by a factor of ten. Just an immense amount of human suffering.

You should watch the clip in the tweet. Seeing him get increasingly visibly uncomfortable as Jones keeps spouting crazier and crazier poo poo and slowly realize he’s made a huge mistake even being on this stream is a trip. Apparently he was the only one who realized it was a bad idea and bailed super early into the whole incident. How dense do the rest of those musty motherfuckers gotta be that Jeremy loving “I just peed in my basement” Hambly has more common sense and shame than they do?

I know everyone has moved on, but I just caught up with the thread. While I find the seemingly sudden appearance of “jab” in the US vernacular to be surprising. “No Jab, No Job” is a great slogan and a great policy.

The anti-alcohol bible verses I was always quoted were Proverbs 31:4-5:quote:It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: Of course, they always left out the next few verses: quote:Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.

By interpreting things to reinforce their preconceptions, then picking and choosing any random bits that agree with what they want and ignoring anything inconvenient to the contrary. The same way pretty much any religious text works.

Note that this is often honored more in the breach than the observance. There's an old joke that asks: "How many Southern Baptists should you take on a fishing trip? Two. If you only take one he'll drink all your beer, but if you take two neither will touch a drop."

Not related but I was reading John Calvin's analysis of the vision of Ezekiel where he sees an angel in the form of a wheel "full of eyes". Calvin interprets the wheel as a symbol respresenting fortune and the shifting fate of man. But the wheel is full of eyes which means that fortune is a concious, intelligible process. An angel is merely "the hands of God" meaning that the apparently blind, meaningless cycle of fortune is actually a planned, purposive phenomenon controlled by God. God is rebutting mankind who see their fate as cruel, random and arbitrary. This interpretation is definitely my head canon now.

Mak0rz posted:"You shouldn't drink booze because the Devil brushes his teeth with the stuff" is a new one to me Every summer, he would choose a random European country, and go for a road trip. While driving, he would take photos. LOTS of photos. Of road markings and road signs. Every year, at a set date, he would invite everyone he was even marginally related to for an "uplifting party" at his house. Meaning a 4 hour slide show. Of road markings and road signs. "Here is a yellow line in Poland. Note the difference from this Austrian yellow line from last year. Here is a Polish yellow line on a different type of road surface. Here is a speed limit sign from Poland. A different speed limit sign from Poland." And so on....for FOUR HOURS!!!! with breaks when when he would start ranting against the evils of alcohol. When did this riveting talk take place? January 1st, starting at 11 in the morning. Yes, he was perfectly aware that all of his relatives were either hungover or else came straight from a New Years Eve party. He did it on purpose. To teach another lesson about Satan's tooth paste! (I only sat through this horror once, was never invited back. He kind of refused to admit I existed)

I mean Calvinism is pretty brutal in that it’s basically if your saved your saved and if you aren’t your hosed. With nothing you can do to change that It isn’t surprising it slowly fell off of evangelicalism

I, a son of a Protestant minister, was more than a little surprised when I when to a Lenten Friday meal at a friend's parish church in college and saw that they were selling drafts of beer inside the fellowship hall.

Sure, people minimize it or say it wasn't bad, but that's not what I'm thinking of. I've never heard of anyone straight-up denying that American slavery happened, but I have absolutely heard of people couching it in terms of "The majority of masters were actually kind towards their slaves and the stories of cruelty were a slim minority." This Vox article is about some of the wild poo poo a plantation tour guide heard from some of their guests, because there are a lot of Americans who just do not want to accept that this country has done incredibly bad things.

I used to live near a civil war era house that had a slave cabin on the property, and the history around that aspect was definitely soft pedaled. "Aunt" Sophie lived in a tiny cabin on the property, and remained there until her death in 1896. Her grave was unmarked until 2004. As a kid, I was told they were "good slave owners". Now it is available for weddings, and I've heard of wedding parties using the slave cabin as a changing room prior to the ceremony.

Democrats invented the concept of slavery having existed so they could force African immigrants to accept their racist "help" and "reparations." They were living perfectly normal happy naturalized immigrant lives before this! That's why noble Republicans fight so hard to never pay reparations, because it is the DEMOCRATS' PRICE TO BUY THE BLACK AMERICAN

"Wow, this is a real weird race thing, huh? I guess if they're okay with it for their ceremony..." "Oh, we're more than okay with it, we live this way." "...huh! Well, if that... uh, um, works for your daily life... who am I to-" "Works real well in the bedroom." "HEY LOOK AT THAT, I'M GETTING A CALL FROM AN EMERGENCY BYE"
