WOTM: Time To Be A Dick Again
This is for everyone who remembers Phil Plait's "Don't Be A Dick Speech" from back in the day. This is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but you'll get the point.
Once again, I want you all to know how much I appreciate your continued support. I get all misty thinking about you folks. All the sudden, I'm as helpless as a kitten in a tree. Joking aside, I am deeply touched by your generosity.
Now, if you'll forgive me, I have to go find my heating pad, my Tylenol with codeine, and my cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride! Stay safe and smart (because some people can't do both... or either), and I'll see you next month! B

This sort of goes right to the heart of why we've all been trying to message AGAINST Christianity for the last two decades. It's the very reason why. We KNEW those people were going to try to end the US Constitution.
It’s not hard to figure out.
Yeah, to hell with decorum. It's time for dick-orum.
Great video (as usual) that Pastor who spoke of "Women wearing shorts" should have his words repeated often, so all may see what clueless and mean spirited looks and sounds like.
That’s an understatement!!!
How about the full armour of rational thought and logic?
That’s pretty good!
Anyone who prays for a king on Sunday can’t be trusted to defend democracy on Monday
RAmen!!!
I love you.
I love you more. Even though you make me feel like a schmuck for putting out so much great content every single month… week(?)… day(?)!!! Can you eat or sleep or something so the rest of us don’t look like lazy bums?!!! ❤️🤪😘
No doubt about it, we are witnessing the rise and expansion of a DICK'tatorship. All for the love of mammon.
Thankyou for giving the trumpet call for awareness! I have watched Aron Ra's take down of mike johnson and to say that the things that our purported speaker was saying were worrisome is a gross understatement! All hail to those like you, Aron, Paulogia, Viced Rhino, Prof. Plink and others who continue to sound the clarion call to 'be a dick!
Better living through pharmacology. I feel ya brother.
LOL!!!
If we are to be dicks, the armor should be latex?
That made me LOL!!! Brilliant!
Historically, the Puritans who fled what they perceived as religious persecution in England were the ones who wanted to impose their own style of Christianity on everyone else. The "Founding Fathers" of the republic were much more likely to be establishment Christians, i.e. Church of England - I've never looked into this, so that's an assumption on my part, but I think it's fair. That didn't stop them from owning slaves, and accepting social inequality based on inherited wealth, of course. But at least they did want to separate Church and State.
Actually, the Puritans ended up fleeing 'persecution' twice. The first fleeing landed them in the religiously tolerant land of Holland, who would let them practice their faith in peace, but drew the line at allowing them to impose their faith on the rest of the Dutch people. So, they had to flee once more, this time to the wide open wooded spaces of what would become America, where they could impose to their heart's content, secure in the knowledge that the catholic doctrine of discovery gave them god's blessing to steal the native's land and slaughter them with impunity by, for example, blankets contaminated with smallpox. Then they gave thanks and praise to the lord for clearing out the natives for them, leaving them the land free of inconvenient people. As far as the founding fathers go, they were, at least, mostly protestants (Deists, Baptists, Presbyterians, etc.). Adherents of the C of E would have believed in the divine rights of kings and would have probably not been fond of the idea of breaking the bonds between England and the colonies. Lastly, the Puritans wanted no truck with the separation of church and state, they wanted to BE the state. They hung some Quaker heretics (probably others, too) and banished those who would not toe their line. Like Anne Hutchinson, et al. (Back in those days, a banishment was pretty close to a death sentence) They wanted freedom of religion, but just for themselves.
