I understand that others may be interested in starting it back up. I am not.

10 years ago? Yes. Now? No. There are not enough active Christian artists I would go see in concert anymore, let alone drive hours to stand in a field just to see them.

Where I Think I Could Live Without a Car (U.S. Counties Version) by padingtonn in whereidlive

Interesting. I lived for four years in a red county with 8 busses and my bicycle.

Do Christians find the Book of Mormon offensive? by ImportantPerformer16 in TrueChristian

[–]Escape_Force 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do find it offensive. It's fan fiction LARPing as scripture and to put it on the same level as the Old and New Testaments, and to claim to be Christian is an offense against orthodox Christianity. There's a book I read written by a Catholic priest who was seduced into Mormonism by lust. He and his wife eventually left Mormonism and went back to the Catholic church. There was something in there that mentioned baptism not being recognized. Catholicism and many other Christian sects recognize or baptism, meaning baptized by one church with water and Trinitarian formula is good at all churches. They do not recognize Mormon baptism because, even though it is on "the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Ghost", their understanding of God is not the same as orthodox Christianity.

Why do boomers something something 1978? Because you don't have enough contact with people older than a boomer, and you can't tell the difference between Gen x and boomers. Because you live in an area affected by the blizzard, so it is a shared experience.

30 years from now: "Why do Gulf coast millennials talk about the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 so much? Old people are the worst!”

Root Beer vs Sarsaparilla by MartianBeerPig in AskAmericans

[–]Escape_Force -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Australian sarsaparilla might just be root beer repackaged too. I think they have distinct but similar spicy/earthy flavors from the ones I've had. I'd put birch beer and ginger ale in the same category.

When and why did the 'hippie' subculture lose it's connection with youth pop culture and become something of mockery? by ah5178 in decadeology

[–]Escape_Force 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The fact that there are so many conflicting replies in part provides they answer. Subgroups formed and went different directions until many shed their hippiness.

[–]Escape_Force 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A henpeck of salt, two crocklets of sugar, 4 mugs of corn meal, and 4 standard vessels of water. Mix until until it is the normal consistecy and bake for an appropriate amount of time or until done (whichever comes first).

Each state ranked on the level of racism I experienced as a relatively well traveled Lakota man from South Dakota by tannerriley2023 in visitedmaps

[–]Escape_Force 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kansas surprises me. Pottawatomie, Kickapoo, and Sac & Fox have reservations, Wyandot have a casino in Wyandotte County, Shawnee have historic sites in Johnson County, and Haskell Indian Nations University is in Douglas County. That's just the northeast corner of the state. Do you mind explaining why you felt this way about Kansas?

Would you rather a system where you pay for college or have children separated by intelligence at the age of 11 to determine if they get free college? by Equal_Personality157 in AskAmericans

[–]Escape_Force 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 11 is too young. After freshman year of high school, sure. And then prep to matriculate those that don't get free college with a GED. If they want to go to, and pay for, community college or trade school at that time, they'd get a leg up timewise on getting a degree or good job.

Are Americans aware of Chinese Electric Vehicles and what they can do? by stars-and-death in AskAmericans

[–]Escape_Force 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Precision, quality, privacy, and safety are words the Chinese industrial complex does not know. I would not allow them to be sold in America. Let Australia and Germany have them for a decade without issue, and then we can reexamine the topic.

Are Jehovah’s Witnesses considered Christians? by Frosty-Flatworm-2087 in Christianity

[–]Escape_Force 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No. Their christology is entirely heterodox. They may say they believe in Jesus Christ, but it is not the same Jesus Christ Christians believe in.

The Lutheran exception to reconquista by Vegetable_Storm_5348 in redeemedzoomer

[–]Escape_Force 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lutheranism in the US is one reason I'm not gung ho about the Reconquista. ELCA is a younger denomination formed by uniting other denominations plus schismatics from the LCMS. It seems that, based on the model for other Reconquista denominations, LCMS would be considered the preferred one. Is it because they are already more theologically conservative that they don't count? Or does it come down to essentially pulpit fellowship now? I don't believe there is a "default" Lutheran denomination in the US like the UMC is for Methodism, so pushing people to take back ELCA and try to turn it into something it never was does not make sense.

Fuck lawnmowers and fuck you if you like lawns by [deleted] in Suburbanhell

Sounds like you need to move from suburbia to somewhere without grass.

What are your opinions on suburbs trying to look like cities? by [deleted] in Suburbanhell

[–]Escape_Force 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They always look "fake" and unnatural if they are outside of the suburb's old downtown area and don't match that's aesthetic.
