  • AEW Dynamite was fun with a belt change during a non ppv event was really cool after the ppv the previous weekend.

    Watched some my name is Earl, it’s kinda like the opposite of breaking bad a low profile criminal breaking good thanks to Carson Daly and karma. Some of it’s aged poorly or sometimes feels like rich Hollywood folks making fun of poor white trash or cameos from idiots like Rosanne, but those are pretty rare and while the comedy relies on stereotypes the message of doing good and accepting people as they are are pretty wholesome. Probably not going to watch more though there were a few good episodes.

    Also rewatched solo leveling anime series, feels kinda like a more modern Korean take on DBZ, looks like they’ll do a movie before another season I’ll definitely check that out.

    Recommendations: solo leveling, AEW Dynamite, one punch man season 3








  • 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.






  • 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.
