One Sunday morning I went to church with the kid across the street who was CoC. I introduced myself to them during sunday school, and I guess the fact that I don't have a regular white American Christian name for Dallas in 1981 caused some consternation, so they came for a visit. Once they had said their peace my dad gave them a time limit to get off the property, and they overperformed.
And to Gsoda's point about Christians treating each other with respect and kindness- I'm sure they believed they were doing us a kindness. They didn't want to see a little boy damned to hell. I'm just not sure why some fundamentalist evangelicals will so readily do other Christians the same sort of kindness but are offended when they return the favor.
Interesting story. The CoC are an odd bunch. I dated one but she was also an aggy from Tomball so it was hard to tell if her family was weird because of the CoC thing, aggy or was it Tomball.
Now I am thinking your name is Jesus as in Hey-Zues.

tell my parents I was going to hell if they didn't change my name, and it wasn't the Methodists.
I'm a Methodist so I know we don't require name changes but I am not aware of anyone else who does.
What is the story here?

This reminds me of the time I floated the idea of the Angola Prison scam (lonely hearts club) against military members online back in the mid 90's.
Back then most people online were using either .edu or .mil email addresses. These military guys would troll IRC channels hard for college coeds with the old "ASL?" Anyways, I had just read a book about the scam in Angola and thought it would work perfectly in a digital format.
The idea wasn't to defraud but gather information regarding military secops and hand it over as research. The idea was shot down due to the illegality.

Since I am an atheist, can I get a tax exemption? I need a tax break for my hobbies too.
Yeah just join an Atheist assembly (church) they are tax exempt or just form a club as a nonprofit. Did this for softball and got corporate donations to pay for shirts, equipment, tournaments, etc... Hell we had a season worth of Shiner donated for after practice and game drinking.

Condor, season 1—Story’s is about an evil Christian organization planning to release a deadly plague at Mecca. This evil Christian cabal is led by a CIA director-type (CIA is called ‘Christian In Action’ by the shows hero). The arch villain is always praying on camera…like in this image, at the side of his bed like a child.
Christians In Action is a really old phrase for the CIA that has been used for decades. I remember first reading about the phrase in a book about Vietnam I read in the 80's.
The motivations behind the antagonist were partially due to his dispensationalist theology. It's not a far fetched idea considering some of the things that went down during the W administration.
6 hours ago, Monster said:The Punisher, season 2 –premise. Evil Christian-type villain does a bunch of evil shit I don’t know I got to the third episode and started losing interest and haven't gone back to it to finish. I'm assuming the evil Christian kept quoting bible verses as he did despicable evil thing.
Something's not quite right with this church...can't put my finger on it...
Oh that's right...they're Nazis. Here is our arch villain at home, showing off his Nazi tattoos with a crucifix on the wall in his bedroom.
Pilgrim wasn't really a bad guy if you actually watched the show you would know that. His faith was sincere but it was used to manipulate him. Also, the tattoos were from his former life before he found religion.
Did you even watch this show?

Another - I live in a rural area, where roads are pretty much blocked off in actual square miles. Long, straight roads. A train track intersects the north/sound roads. Every mile there is a crossing, except a shut down crossing (B), leaving a 2-mile stretch between crossings (A) and (C). A perfect place for a train to stop is to stop right before C, block B, and probably leave A open as well. Instead, the train stops right after C, blocking D in the process, leaving B open.
Should be:
=========== D =========== C ===========
B=========== AWas:

What's the deal with Louise Mensch? She caused a kerfuffle on my Twitter timeline this morning. She started blocking everyone from a infosec group to which I belong after falsely accusing people of being Russian enablers and cybercriminals. Which is hilarious because the people she was accusing are former NSA, DOD, US Cyber Command employees.
I saw this happen a little over a year ago when another Russian espionage "expert" was floating theories about how the Alpha Bank, Spectrum and Trump Org were exchanging voter data. The explanations were asinine and when a number of people pointed out the technical improbability of the theory, they were labeled as Russian enablers.
I suspect a number of Twitter resistance folks are actually Russians attempting to make the resistance look bat shit crazy or this particular hobby attracts the crazies.

Please tell me I'm not the only one that got aroused every time mom said something like "No, silly".
And I want to know how Number 5 banged Dolores. Cuz you know he banged her.
Not the only one. She said it with a certain level of charm.
I wondered that too. I remember thinking "he probably went to town on that mannequin."

Cyclists riding on scenic roads in the hill country really piss me off, especially when they ride in big groups.
Saturday morning I was hauling a trailer behind a farmer driving a tractor up a very small windy road with about three miles of straight incline. Some cycling club decided to use the road for a ride and created a cluster fuck.
Most of them were huffing and puffing and moving about 1 MPH and refusing to just get off the fucking road. Their sense of entitlement to the road just drives me crazy.

I had "I think we are alone now" stuck in my head most of the weekend. It's been years since I heard that song, it gave me flashbacks of middle school.
Favorite character was number 5, whoever the actor is killed that role. Not once did it come off as a kid playing an adult, he really did seem like an adult trapped in a kid body. Most of those "Freaky Friday" type movies failed to pull this off.
Klaus was great too. He was also in Fortitude and played an eccentric tormented type in that one as well although Klaus was tempered with a good bit of humor.
Hazel was great too. I used his phrase "elaborate" on my teenagers a couple of times already. It is pretty good for extracting more information without having to ask questions.
Grace (mom) was good in more ways than one, she is hot. Towards the very end, her voice and expressions became more human which was a nice touch. I really appreciated the idea of some of the kids forming a closer bond with her than others. Diego saw her as a mama but some of the others questioned their emotional attachment to her. It was a small side story but an interesting idea to ponder.

Oh wow I didn't know that! That is great news.
Yeah, from the proposed designs it looks to be a great restoration project. All of the crap in Alamo Plaza is going to be removed to return it to how it would have originally looked during the revolution.
In the past, I've eaten lunch at the plaza more times than I can remember. I always try to envision what it looked like but with all of the riff raff it is hard to appreciate the setting. I'm glad this is being done.

But it doesn't make sense to quote Mussolini. Mussolini rejected socialism, banned their political parties and killed them. The nationalism that he espoused is actually pretty fucking close to Trumpism and not DS politics.

When you consider who the current thought leaders of conservatism are the John Cornyn tweet quoting Mussolini makes sense. Cornyn's tweet wasn't trying to promote fascism but a retarded attempt to make a point without a basic understanding of 20th century history. When you elevate knuckle heads to the status of thought leaders, this is what happens.

The thing about Buttigieg that really irks me is his age. It's not a big deal but the idea of a Millennial being elected before a Gen-Xer just runs me the wrong way. Going from a series of Boomer Presidents to a Millennial President as if the latch key generation is still at home by themselves is a bit fucked up.
Anyways, Beto 2020! Generation-X is assuming control, then we will kill off the Boomers and lock up the Millennials.
Fucking Millennials.
