I'm a public librarian and the only thing about this that would surprise me less would be if the book was a Christian romance paperback or an Amish romance (yes, that second one is a genre unto itself and has a serious fanbase).

Look upon my works and despair, ye mighty. One of the more prolific and popular authors in the Amish romance genre, and incredibly popular with elderly women at every public library I've worked at.

At the library I currently am at, romance novels written by and for middle-age-and-up women account for around half of the books we check out most days.

I'm guessing pregnancy tests are not part of the routine for comatose patients. It's also not like she can walk around gorging on ice cream, so I doubt she suddenly got real fat. All things considered, I feel like "she's pregnant" would be sooooo far down the list of things you'd suspect about a person in a fourteen-year coma that you'd overlook a lot of suspicious poo poo.

I don't want to think about it too much, though, because that story is loving GROSS. When they catch they guy who did this, they should probably just kill him and call it a day.

My suspicion would be that the staff knew drat well and tried to cover up the whole thing until someone blew the whistle.

The whole "fallen angel" conception of Lucifer is mostly extrabiblical. The only time the word appears in the Bible is when the author of Isaiah is talking poo poo about the King of Babylon. It comes mostly from medieval readings of Revelation that only persist today in crazyass fundamentalist circles. That is to say the idea of Lucifer as a fallen angel is about as biblical as the Rapture.

And the Antichrist. 'Antichrist' only crops up in the Bible as a term used to describe anyone who's against Christ - it's a generic term. But people for some reason conflate the term with the false prophet of Revelation while also misunderstanding what Revelation says about that figure in that particular drug trip that's about Rome.

There's a lot more to the mythological background of the Bible than just the Bible itself.

I mean, I'm a Buddhist so I don't give a drat about these fairy tales but you can't just say ,"the Bible only says this about Lucifer and so that's all there is, the rest is fan fiction".

That's a silly perspective.

You absolutely can. That's the view of Protestants, who view the Bible as the only document directly inspired by God and ignore everything else (in theory). We call this principle Sola Scriptura, that only the Bible is the authentic word of God and should be the only basis for Christianity.

This view is not shared by Catholics or Orthodox, and even Protestants apply it to varying degrees depending on denomination, but only caring about the Bible and ignoring everything else is absolutely believed by millions of people (including me).

Everyone keeps some tradition.

I agree, but tradition holds no authority over the Bible or my beliefs and has no innate purpose or spiritual value.

In the actual religion thread over in A/T, when I first started posting there years ago as perhaps the first Evangelical (very socially and theologically liberal Evangelical, I hate the right wing), that was one of the hardest ideas to get across to people raised in other religious traditions, that Protestants see all that tradition and theology that's not in the Bible and say that's nice and if it means something to you go nuts, but it has no spiritual meaning in and of itself.

This isn't the right thread to discuss all that.

Do you have a link to any parts where you talk about Apocrypha, Deuterocanonical texts, different translations etc?

No, because my response is simply "I don't give a poo poo and I'm confused that you think I would." A core part of Evangelical belief is that it ultimately comes down to your one on one relationship with God, not the fine details of what you may or may not believe.

I see the Apocrypha, Deuterocanonical texts, etc and shrug. They're completely irrelevant to me.

Police warn flushing drugs down the toilet could create 'meth-gators'

LORETTO, Tenn. — A police department in Tennessee is warning people to stop flushing drugs down their toilets or sinks out of fear they could create "meth-gators."

The Loretto Police Department recently posted the ominous Facebook warning after officers found a suspect unsuccessfully trying to flush meth and paraphernalia at a home.

He was arrested, but police say this is becoming an issue because flushed drugs can end up in retention ponds for processing before they are sent downstream.

"Our sewer guys take great pride in releasing water that is cleaner than what is in the creek, but they are not really prepared for meth," the police department wrote on social media. "Ducks, geese, and other fowl frequent our treatment ponds and we shudder to think what one all hyped up on meth would do."

In 2017, however, The Telegraph reported how a jungle python was found addicted to methamphetamine. The newspaper said the reptile was discovered during a police raid on a meth lab. The snake needed six weeks of detox.
