Stories like that make me incredibly grateful that my folks were both atheists (or non-praticing, or lapsed, or whatever else you want to call people who stopped caring after they stopped having to attend); all I ever got was my mother asking me if I wanted to try going to church when I was seven or so and that was the end of that...

...yeah, no, except for the fact that pretty much every social activity for children in the area was sponsored or run by one church or another, so I ended up getting a belly full of attempted indoctrination anyways.

Thanks for posting it, that was an interesting analysis. Though I completely disagree with one of the sentiments she expressed -- who'd ever want to be an Ewok?

Monster energy drink is satanic. Also promoted vulgarity and literal motherfucking.
You can't deny that.

I was raised Catholic. I was also raised playing D & D. I made my first character at six years old[Not a very well-made one. A Fighter who's highest score was a 15 Int? What was I thinking?]. The fact that the two could somehow be opposed never even crossed my mind until I ran into a Chick tract on Bay12 a few months ago. Basically, unreasonable crazy people are unreasonable and crazy. Reasonable sane people are reasonable and sane. Reasonable crazy people are iffier.

I KNOW! How can she expect to make a salient point when she's saying things like that?!

I will reiterate:

I'unno man, the thought of running around as a Jawa teabagging people and shouting racial slurs against the Hutt is oddly appealing.

An Ewok is fine, too.

I was always partial to this one.

well that, and the sequel, didn't have video accompaniment when I first heard them, which I prefer, tbh.

Youtube: There is no single Buddhist view concerning abortion although traditional Buddhism rejects abortion because it involves the deliberate destroying of a life and regards life as starting at conception.

Or possibly a good story.

Okay, I've got my new rotation of avatars for the new year. Most are just gifs which will slowly be killed off as their imperfect loops drive me crazy, but one of them... I'd forgotten I had that image. Don't bother asking which one, you'll know it when you see it, and it is perfect for this thread.
