  • That’s nice you can find something it kinda looks similar to but It explicitly rejects Christian values like faith and superstition, it doesn’t draw on Christian values when it’s rejecting the values bible believing Christians hold contrary to investigation and science putting observation and evidence before conclusions instead of after. If you believe in sorcery or foreskin blood magic or people coming back from the dead or other faith based beliefs I don’t think you’re appealing to the same virtues Watson Heston had in mind.


  • There’s nothing intrinsically religious about the symbolism of light or raising objects representing virtues while lowering vices, the architecture with columns likely representing secular legal and judicial institutions architecture at the time. it was published in 1890 in a publication called the truth seeker, Winthrop’s 1630 speech wasn’t popularized until the 1960s by JFK’s '61 speech.





  • That looks like a really fun setup. The color/finish/shape on the Ibanez almost looks like a hybrid between a Yamaha revstar and an offset fender. I’m moving soon so no decent pictures but the last ~3 months mine has been a solar 7 string connected to either a toneX plug & headphones which is comfortable for couch or walking around or a spark mini with either a looper or time effects pedal.





  • If you’ve ever read the beginning of Moby Dick the preacher in the first chapter with the fire and brimstone preaching represents similar evangelical Calvinist denom preachers popularized around the 1700s during the great awakening. Probably the most popular example was Johnathan Edwards evangelical Calvinist/puritan “sinners in the hands of an angry god” from 1741.
