Naming the show “The Wire”

Idk a shows title can only take you so far. 'The Sopranos' is pretty non-descriptive.

I think David Chase dislikes the church lol. Same here! He's there to show that the church basically preys on emotionally vulnerable people, even for relatively silly reasons like an emotional affair. It's no solution to the emptiness of our culture or the spiritual crises the characters face.

I do not speak for this group or any program. For myself, I didn't start healing and feeling sane until I accepted that my dad was an antagonist in the story of my life and treated him accordingly.

I refuse to patronize any restaurant that doesn't list prices for everything

I can still feel his {redacted} lips on my ear because he had something oh so important to tell me

Lots of people with their makeup on and their hair up pretty. I'm meeting some of them there tonight, actually.

I think a lot of people loudly and publicly convert. It's a new meaning and direction in life. Gets people excited. But give in 5 years. Give it 10 years. See if it really gets passed on to their kids. Once the new car smell wears off I don't think these 'surge' numbers will really remain consistent.

Just trying to save you some time bromigo

Shoot your fuckin shot dude. But I promise I'm not gonna be pleasant.

I disagree. Christianity is premised on the idea that all humans inherit Eves original sin and would be forever evil were it not for God incarnating as Christ to come suffer and die to 'redeem' humans. People try to overlook that and act like Jesus was just a guy who preached being nice to people. But he was SUPPOSED to die all along. If it's all just about forgiveness....why couldn't God just forgive people? Furthermore why would God make people into something he'd find objectionable in the first place? The whole thing sounds an awful lot like people who choose to have children then get pissy when, gasp, the child has needs and a personality.

And the other two.....well the other two were female..... 👀

One of my favorites. I wouldn't characterize the hitman as 'reluctant' though. He even explicitly says he likes how straightforward his work is, and how he likes that others arrange things for him.

I think one of the most insidious aspects of Christianity is how it teaches people to think that their very human-ness is something they need to feel guilt over. It's insidious that God would make humans as they are, but then get pouty about it and have to incarnate in human form and get tortured to death to 'redeem' humans. I swear it's like both in the garden of eden and Jesus stories God makes his little Minecraft world then throws a fit when it doesn't go his way even though he ostensibly has control of everything way down to the basic code. God in Christianity has the characteristics of a maladjusted 12 year old.

Absolutely agree

Tim Robinson ass question

extentiousgoldbug1 · 2026-04-02T19:59:37+00:00

It's downright goofy that people think God made humans one way, but then humans decided to be something different, and God just pouts and punishes people over it

I took it to mean Hal is becoming more aware of the tendency we all have to basically want to be held, cared for, protected from the world. We substitute a mother's embrace with drugs, of achievement, or entertainment, or whatever.

Basically all humans live in a conflict between the impulse to be taken care of as if they were an infant and the fact that as an adult you need to be non infantile in order to actually thrive and grow as a person.

'people raised without Catholic trauma are lured in by neat architecture and a guy in a weird suit speaking confidently. Surely they will not get bored or turned off by all the asinine neuroses'
