You know, I thought “Of course, he’d probably be building houses for the poor with Habitat for Humanity.” It took me a second or two to think about him being nailed on a cross.

Now I’m picturing a series on HGTV or PBS called “Carter and Christ” where President Jimmy Carter and Jesus Christ go around the country (or the world) building homes for charity.

Alternate title: J.C. Carpentry
The running gag is that both characters think the show is named after them. Or maybe that they’re both so humble each one thinks it’s named after the other.

That was a great King of the Hill episode. Bobby met Jimmy Carter at a Habitat for Humanity build site and was convinced he was Jesus after he brokered a peace between Hank and Cotton.
Hank: That nail gun’s pretty accurate for, what’s it running at? -180?
Cotton: Sounds about right. Boy, I love shooting a nail gun.
Hank: I love shooting a nail gun, too.
Bobby: That was amazing! Dad and Grandpa don’t hate each other the Lubeckis got most of their house back all because Jesus showed up.
Hank: Bobby, what are you talking about?
Bobby: That guy. A carpenter, worked a miracle, his name was JC, rode in a limo…
Hank: -Him? -You thought that was…
Cotton: Well, he’s nobody but a one-terming peanut farmer.
Hank: Man wore a sweater.
Cotton: Henpecked by the OPEC.

So this is a real book:
And somehow it’s about how the Christian left is a threat to real Christianity rather than about how the Christian right is moving further and further away from the teachings they claim to uphold.
Love that hammer and sickle in the cover image though.

Ugh. Thanks for sharing that article. I listen to a lot of bluegrass on YouTube and that song has been popping up in my recommendations. I now know I’ll need to keep skipping it. Somehow, YT (take that as you will) is dumb enough to think that my love for Rhiannon Giddens means I’ll also like this yutz and Jason Aldean.

Fucking algorithms…

To me, this is a little weird. When I’m on YT my rec’s are, almost exclusively, things I’ve already watched. I mean. I’m not complaining about not getting bad rec’s, but I’m not sure how others are.
Am I doing something wrong?

I won’t pretend to understand the algorithm. It might be because I do often click on the recommendations to find artists I’ve not heard before? Maybe I’ve trained it to think I’m a sucker!

Without knowing anything about the YT algorithm, I’m going to assume it’s based on what lots of other people are doing. So I suppose there’s a lot of people out there who think that combination makes sense, or is even desirable.

This is because there’s a new trend in country that my old classmates are calling “triggerwoke” , thats sole goal is to be triggering to us liberals, thus getting attention from major press for triggering us liberals. Because of that, there’s been a lot of SEO and Youtube gaming lately that tend to intentionally point those videos to liberals in the hopes that we’ll then go on to the videos about why we don’t like those videos, and so on and so forth. The youtube algo is all about keeping you watching, and getting you angry is a great way to keep you watching.

Thanks, that makes a lot more sense than my guess above.

Yes, clearly this is the first time Christian doctrine has been interpreted in a harmful way.

More than any other Bible source, the Beatitudes are used as a basis for Christian anarchism. Leo Tolstoy’s The Kingdom of God Is Within You is often regarded as a key text for modern Christian anarchism.
These lot are why I didn’t completely dismiss Christianity after I stopped believing.

Funny how both Christian capitalism and anarcho-capitalism end up completely betraying the values of the first for the second.
