slightly cheesy evangelical programing actually goes super hard sometimes. you drop into a show and its like "a firefighter was recently convicted of negligence for letting a family of 5 burn alive in their home.

actually

thats you, when you fail to share the bible with others

he sat in his car listening to music with headphones on while the mother of five children screamed for help, agonized by the searing pain of the flames as her home crumbled to ashes around her. actually, this never happened. still you. we just made this story up. but the moral is

ive kind of told this story in pieces before but since im watching it again while working i will tell you about my relationship to such programs. theres something about it that really nails down something about american evangelical christianity for me.

tapping the sign by my door that says local village idiot but after looking through a lot of 1800s stuff it really really kind of seems like everyone acted like and spoke as though states had the right to secede and leave the union right up until some of them actually did it.

i mean are we really supposed to think that when the states entered the union they all thought explicitly that if they ever tried to leave the other states would come there with soldiers and kill them. thats really really really not the vibe you get at all looking at this stuff.

for example just look at how south carolina left + how they went about that. of course there was complications + that was the start of the war but clearly they didnt think they were starting a war when they said they were leaving. am i supposed to just think they missed the memo

inner sanctum patreon CREW: alright its been a minute since i made one of these tweets (although we have been doing patreon posts). this weeks update is up. scanned part of a book and got you guys at least like two weeks ahead on the new comics project / situation. come through.

my wife kind of roasted me and did an impression of me like "i'm owen, i work really hard on my patreon every week but uhhhh i dont want to like bother you so, ill just post the link like twice a year, if thats okay, uh you can check it out, if you want"

patreon.com/owencyclops

did u know that when lincoln was elected, out of 4.68 million votes cast he only received 1.86 million votes. that means less than 40% of people in the country actually selected him as their choice to be president. apolitically, as a random historical datapoint, that is insane

btw there was a plant common to his area called white snakeroot where, if cows ate it, + u drank their milk, u could die. it was called milk sickness, thats how his mom died. we have a lot of raw milk guys here so i was wondering if that affected non pasteurized milk perception

i have a joke ive been waiting to drop hold up

since ive been posting cute drawings recently i feel obligated to flex a little esoterica. did you know you can pull off US highways and buy memorabilia that would be illegal to buy and sell in europe. people do not know about things like this. steiner said kali yuga ended btw.

its just sitting there. usually i think someones grandfather died or something and some young people are just unloading his stuff. thats really the only possible explanation for it. pretty cheap, too. relatively. hope you guys are having a good weekend.

theres a special subset of the weirdo american scholar archetype that would collect things, books, etc., that are illegal in other countries but legal here just to have them, because you can. gotta respect that on some level, although this type of person is no longer understood.
