Had a fantastic lunch at Karam, west side of downtown PDX. Meat mezza platter.1

I've watched most of the counter-apologists on YouTube, and in terms of content quality and quantity, you're definitely holding a spot in the top 10, if not top 5.

Tummy Stuffer in Riverside, CA. Fantastic lunch spot, 9/10.

Highly recommend this book, even if the guy in New York spoiled the ending.

Shameless plug for my podcast: Naked Pentecostalism.

For those who have only started following me on BlueSky, I was born and raised into a very strict fundamentalist pentecostal church, and the podcast is about raising awareness for these high control religious groups.

Fair enough. Personally, I left religion entirely and started a podcast/youtube channel called Naked Pentecostalism, for the purpose of shining a light on the worst offenders of fundamentalist pentecost.

I agree that the history is messy. People that attended my old church would push the idea that pentecostals had an unbroken line of believers from Acts chapter 2 until present day, which is obviously a load of bullshit.

Hey Ian, for context, I was born and raised into apostolic pentecost and left around age 34.

I'm curious about your stance on the history of the pentecostal movement, particularly how we only see it appear in 1900s Kansas, and really nothing substantial prior to that.

Thanks.

Modern understanding of human psychology makes it pretty clear that free will is an illusion. Our choices are formed by our influences in life, almost entirely out of our hands.

CRAZY story. The article is really well written, you just can't stop reading.

Finished the third book of the 3 Body Problem trilogy.

Wow. The author's mind is about as twisted and unique as any writer I've encountered so far. The series is a slow build, but totally worth it.

Holy Taco in Lake Oswego, OR is just fantastic.

Sorry, I don't see the connection between Berserk and Brightburn?

This more or less describes modern evangelical xians, somewhere they got the entire message backwards.

Diving into my first budget home audio system. So far, I'm enjoying the hell out of it.

Why not? Your mind, defined as the brain while alive, sent the command to your muscles.

But don’t worry. Oklahoma is buying thousands of Bibles for their public schools.

Excited to join this new social media, starting things off with a pic from the Portland Japanese gardens.

Planescape: Torment. It had the most amazing dialogue and world building of any game I've played. I still think about 25 years later.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is not a “skeptic” of vaccines. He has said there are no safe or effective vaccines. He is a foe of vaccines.
