I believe that might be an early modern text, "The Gospell of the Ophthometriste, or the Day that Sainct Peter Was Deprieved of his Spectacles: A Merrie Farce Sponsored by the Honourable Guilde of Lens-Grinders."

Ahh yes, I remember the monologue delivered to Mosest, the greatest prophet, as he was harangued the Burning Brush.

Getting popular with the attractive sex, then?

Oh I just love my job and my wife and we're working on the immigration stuff and everything is nice and stable.

Sheltered from the world in my small town, I tend to my garden.

almost all of us are bourgeois and so are you

edit: also, i'm amused that the same people who use sjw as a slur have now discovered leftism

I work as a hardware store clerk and pay a rent to my folks to live in their house with them. My boss isn't even bourgeois- he's petty bourgeois.

You overestimate the economic outcomes of nerds.

Yes, I too would describe the systematic massacre and suppression of christians and missionaries in China, Korea and Japan over the last few hundred years as "less than ideal" though I don't think I would suggest that these have much to do with the use of vernacular liturgy.

Forgive me I'm too lazy to search through the thread. It's probably been mentioned. But I'm wondering what the goons collective is on the tithe? I waiver between *yes good thing* and *no you're probably doing shady poo poo* I'm interested in hearing peoples' opinions, though.

Given that it's pretty much optional everywhere how could it possibly be a bad thing?

I'd like to raise goats rather than sheep. Goat dairy is so rich and tasty, and I'm not all that into wool.

Goat meat is the most delicious meat in the world, but it's likely I'd be vegetarian if I had to see the animals that get slaughtered for my plate.

I've known people who raise animals and it actually never bothers them, goats are fun and delicious!

The dead go to heaven, purgatory or hell and that is that. The rest is demons and the devil. I'm gonna pray you guys are kept safe from your own folly.
