Conversations with a Calvinist – Denominations Order Coffee
An evening pause: Quite funny, and with a hint of truth. Also, you’d get the same thing if you did this about the Jewish faith, so don’t think this is Christian bashing.
Hat tip Diane Zimmerman.
The support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in the past two weeks has the mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.
Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Even today NASA and Congress refuses to recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

I always thought of Presbyterians as the snobs of the Protestant world.
One of my jobs was at a grocery warehouse where the owners screamed at truck drivers–telling them “you say you work for Predestination Transportation” which is an LLC made to avoid lawsuits.
One shuttle driver fell to his death trying to straighten up his trailer that kids loaded by just tossing things.
I don’t know who I was angrier at—shiftless kids or the owners who settled out of court for a modest sum…the LLC largely doing it’s job–but he fell on the warehouse property though.
Even since then, it takes all I got to not paint a shark fin on the little Icthus symbol on the sides of the trailers.
Bob,
Thanks for sharing.
As a long-term presbyterian of the PCA, ARP variety, he hit the nail on the head (yes, sometimes the ‘hint of truth’ stings). And based on this, I found some of his other videos – also quite funny. He knows all the shibboleths (a good word to know).
In regards to a concern of Christian bashing – it didn’t bother me at all. As the saying goes, if you can’t laugh at yourself …
We can rail on the Jews, Muslims, and Hindus all we want, but Christians… no way. :)
It’s kinda like the police state, no problem lols until it’s directed at you. :(
I guess some things aren’t funny like drawing muhammad.
This was funny. Lutherans. That I get!
Ah, Lutherans…
Not long before the somalians burned everything down, Brainard the Anarchist planted a pipe bomb at the 131st annual Eugene V. Debs Appreciation Association breakfast—after which they found the bodies of the Tolerudes floating face down in Lake Woebegon….all bloated.
The End
I was baptized Byzantine Catholic and changed to Roman Catholic when they united.
My good friend is Greek Orthodox.
So my friends grand father died and all of his friends went to the funeral. I knew what the Greek service would be like since it was similar to mine. Our Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, and Baptist friends attended but they just did not know what they were in for.
My friends grandfather had the FULL Greek Catholic service.
The patriarch and 3 attendants at the funeral home along with singers and wailers. Over an hour
After that a full 2 hour service at the church.
And to finish off the day another hour at the grave side..
All of our friends left before the church service was done.
And the service was all in Greek.
The service was nice but our Catholic light (as I call them) friends just could not handle it.
Years later my mother and step father were invited to an Amish wedding. It took all day including the 4 hours in prayer.
I love these religion comparisons.
As a conservative Christian (raised Baptist, currently attending a Reformed church because my wife is a member) I find this hilarious.
Please thank Diane for making my morning coffee even more enjoyable!
