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.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
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!
