World’s Last Chance (E367)

People who believe the earth is flat. Like Who really believe it. They belong in outer space. It’s the new jail. Just send them out there on a rocket to contemplate their idiocy until they starve and die staring at our GLOBE. is that mean?

Santa demands the blood of your children!!! Feed him or Santa will smite you !

I lost it at 'crypto jews'

When my podcasts collide...just listened to the divided dial podcast about WLC bankrolling a shortwave radio station in Maine.

Bart Ehrmann pointed out that everyone basically just invents a Jesus in their own image, including people with Julian's take. When the scholars of the Jesus Seminar set out to rigorously apply academic methods to determine that the real Jesus's teachings were in the 80s this group who came of age in the 60s and spent most of their life on American university campuses found out that Jesus was a counter cultural figure who spoke out against the cultural establishment in favor of liberation.

I just re-upped my QAA dues and I'm already disgusted; parasocial relationships are peak tumultuous; and now I got Julien in my fucking Insta feed! Thanks a lot assholes.

So so pumped to listen to this! I saw these billboards for the first time just after Christmas while driving from Ohio to Arizona to visit family. They were mainly on 40 through Texas. My husband and I couldn’t stop cracking up but also seemed pretty dark :/

My one run in with 7th day adventists is when my friends and I were trapped in the back of an uber on the way to a gay club while the driver used Bible math to explain why everyone is going to church on the wrong day. Very bizarre, I just don’t get why anyone cares. Go on Sunday, go on Saturday, go on Tuesday whatever, if God cares about this minute detail then I’m already damned for a million other things lol

julian listening to american prestige? 😤

omg this guy I went to college with has been posting about these “teachings” for years, in a way that I didn’t know it was a real thing…and now I just discovered he’s started a church and trying to be an influencer 😳

The AI voice sounds like Garth Marenghi.

Somehow, Arianism returned

A very minor nitpick among a sea of nits, but 9 is not a triangular number. 1,3,6,10,15,21,...

Speaking on behalf of church musicians still emerging from post Easter exhaustion, Holy Week + Easter is definitely the Biggest Deal of the year. More people might come out of the woodwork for Christmas Eve midnight mass, but if you are a Church Person™️ liturgical intensity is turned up to eleven from Palm Sunday through Easter Day

Kind of a side note but the Coptic church isn't a cult, it's just the Egyptian Orthodoxy. It keeps to the Nicean creed and while they tend to be rigorous in their beliefs Copts are no more cultists than Syrian or Palestinian Christians.

Travis View with the Millerite(sp) reference.

This cult has a lot in common with the way JWs have been running things for the last 20 years, even the voice on the flat earth video and the cadence felt like i was watching one of their videos. They’ve got that condescension and air of obvious, yet esoteric knowledge thing down. And the way any other Christian speak is compromised by not using “God’s name” correctly and believing in the trinity.

I'm so glad people like Elon and Thiel have zero rizz. Could you imagine if some billionaire dunce like Andreessen had enough juice to get people to buy into a cult centered around them

This whole thing would only have to be about 5% funnier (plus not racist and not exploitative) for me to hail it as the best Discordian caper ever. I particularly like how the AI podcast guys sound like the most boring self-satisfied pundits in existence.

Julian Feeeeeeld!!!!

I believe the Nicene creed is about restricting the use of psykers and psychic powers.

Are we certain this entire thing isn’t AI? All of it sounds like chatgpt nonsense. And that definitely isn’t that guy’s real name, no shot

“Avon calling” Avon or different Avon?

Occasionally I really envy the people with enough of a religious upbringing/education to contextualize stuff like this.

Right up until the 32:10 mark I was going to say that this stuff really reminded me of the messianic Jewish congregation I went to back in the day. Got very weird, right wing, and conspiratorial. Then Trump and then Covid-19 and things just got really weird. Thankfully was out by then.

I would love to be the Travis View of something!

They got into a months-long billboard war with my local Baptist church. It was amazing to watch.

NOT OPENING W THE OPENING OF LESS THAN ZERO

Some years ago, I worked with some Coptic Christians. Those guys are hardcore. They fast on Wednesdays and Fridays– none of that Catholic “fish only on Fridays” carry-on. And Lent for them is a full-on 40 day fast, more like Ramadan than most other Christian demonizations’ take

There’s a persistent urban legend that things got so heated at the Council of Nicea when they were thrashing out the Creed that St. Nicolas of Myra (representing the Trinitarian faction and partial inspiration for Santa Claus) punched out Arius (representing the “Jesus is subordinate to the Father” group). So if WLC is serious about coming for Christmas, we do know that St. Nick WILL throw hands

Its NEECE biscuits, like Nice in France. (But they are lovely. Crunchy sugary top)

I’m starting a corporate cum ministry. Who’s in?

Julian!

I just saw this billboard in pittsburgh!!! Can't wait to listen
