Joe sounded somewhat enthused when he noticed the book stream as he signed off yt. I saw the paltry 1k audience and thought nah, I'd rather get the highlights here.

I agree with this + random access. I would also add that as any narcissist, he doesn't care about what other people think. He cares about what feedback is he getting. It's not about giving, it's about taking. So, during his stand-up, he was obviously talking slower and trying (and failing) to act like a comedian. Because he was getting immediate, direct feedback from people in front of him. Those were new people, some of them probably gay, that he wanted to impress. But during streams, when those people are just pixels on screen that he doesn't give a fuck about anyway, I would bet at least 2 bucks that his thought process is kinda like this - *I delivered a joke - I am hilarious - BAM and another joke - I am so fucking funny*no concept of delivery
You're supposed to check whether the church is liberal or conservative by seeing if "Jesus is the Son of God who rose from the dead" is on their list of things they believe. Churches that are more or less social clubs will usually hide this. Their church is noticeably lacking any specificity on Jesus, which means it's probably on the frou-frou end of the spectrum.I'm not sure if this will enlighten anything as I assume Nicki doesn't have many personal beliefs and Kayla would have picked the church based more upon location and music than creed, they attend an Evangelical Covenant Church.
In the mid-1800s people began immigrating to the United States from Sweden where some had experienced intense spiritual renewal. Seeking vital faith and church reform, they called themselves Mission Friends, and they focused less on the doctrinal arguments of the day and more on personal faith in Christ and Scripture as the center of their life together. They gathered in small groups to read the Bible, sing songs, and encourage one another in faith.
The Covenant was founded by some of these adventurous Swedish immigrants in 1885 and has become one of North America’s most diverse racial and ethnic denominations.
It basically is a sola Scriptura believing denomination but it's fine how you interpret the Scripture as there's not necessarily one right interpretation except you do have to agree that scripture says women can be ordained and the importance of intentionally pursuing ethnic diversity. As long as you agree with women and intentional diversity, you just have to proclaim their 6 vague affirmations you can be a member.
the centrality of the word of God,
the necessity of the new birth,
a commitment to the whole mission of the Church,
the Church as a fellowship of believers,
a conscious dependence on the Holy Spirit, and
the reality of freedom in Christ

Sometimes you don't even have to do that. Check for troon/rainbow flags, or any other left-leaning political propaganda on the front in plain view.

R/atheism is a cesspit, but "New Atheism" is a much bigger tent. When I was active in online atheist spaces back in 2012 (before the PC era), people were viciously shitting on Islam, calling Muslims 3rd world retards, inbred camel-fuckers, etc. and most of all, tearing their sacred pedophile a new asshole every day. From big names like the horsemen (RIP Hitchens) to smaller youtubers, science educators, historians, artists, comedians, bloggers, activists - no one pulled their punches. The vast majority of atheists were liberals but we gave zero fucks about Islam or any other #diverse shit because we actually had mental (and moral) clarity back then, which no amount of woke points could replace. That was all part of "New Atheism" - it isn't just the recent wave of brain-rotten leftists. People seethe about this movement for a variety of reasons, but if your main gripe is that it's soft on Islam, you either missed its pre-woke era or you're restricting its definition to only its post-woke state. You can still find anti-Islam content from atheists on Youtube if you dig around a bit, even if it's watered down compared to the good old days. Sam Harris never cucked on Islam either, and he's also a "New Atheist".New Atheism is dogshit. It's similar to how feminism is perceived today, basically synonymous with leftism. Similar to leftoid feminists chasing out the naughty gender-critical centre-left and right TERFs, New Atheists chased out the ones that were not just critical of Christianity but (God no!) Islam as well. Burning The Bible is fine but God forbid a militant anti-theist does the same to the Quran or draw the Prophet. Slowly, they became more and more exhibitionist, because the older generation who would say "guys you're not helping our perception of being Godless immoral sex demons" were exiled for the crimes of Islamophobia and "racism".
Many older generation atheists and agnostics were religious scholars as well. They didn't visit r/atheism.
in general, can anyone explain why you would go to a christian church that does not believe in the divinity of christ and is a glorified social club? i am curious to understand this concept. you get the same dopamine effect going to a star wars convention as you would at a liberal church. is it learning moral values? you can get that from watching an episode of sesame street.Sometimes you don't even have to do that. Check for troon/rainbow flags, or any other left-leaning political propaganda on the front in plain view. Some make it really easy.
Why even make it a church? Just meet at Gay90s or Hedo II and there will be no possible misunderstanding, besides, it's what they really want anyway. I understand that pretending to be Christian, like a certain non-practicing lawyer we all know, makes for good Facebook posts for your friends to click like on, and might make you feel like a better person somehow, but that's about as real as Sober January was.
If you don't truly believe Jesus is the Son of God who rose from the dead, then everything else in the religion is really a waste of your time.
I was going to say Nick should just join the Masons if he needs a social club as at least they have cheap booze but I don’t think he’d pass the “of good moral character” part of the requirements.in general, can anyone explain why you would go to a christian church that does not believe in the divinity of christ and is a glorified social club? i am curious to understand this concept. you get the same dopamine effect going to a star wars convention as you would at a liberal church. is it learning moral values? you can get that from watching an episode of sesame street.
my hypothesis for rekieta to go to a church like this is because it was part of his social identity since he was a child and cannot cut that tie until now. if you go to a liberal church, they don't offer anything that requires any work or effort so, subconsciously, he doesn't value that church. that is why you see rekieta mocking christianity so hard on easter sunday. if rekieta had any belief in christ, he wouldn't do it on easter, of all days.
It's not exactly deep lore or very hard to understand, even some 8 year old children can explain it.
Imagine reading smut that your friend wrote. Imagine reading smut that your middle aged Catholic lawtist friend wrote. What on earth could have possibly compelled Gosney to write this book and have his friends skim it??
Just gonna say it now, for posterity's sake, I don't think gosney is on the up and up anymore. He was around on nick's streams when nick was fighting with the audience about his drinking last year, including when mindset and vices were openly defending nick on twitter..I looked the other way. But after today, after seeing him get flustered on nick's blaspheming on the easter stream (i'm not even religious here) but then shortly after appear on his stream to shill his book (plus the weird book he wrote that was mentioned here)..I am not gonna be surprised that somewhere in the future we will have a jack murphy moment for gosney, just like everyone in nick's vicinity seems to have.
Part of that has to be the time change with no advertising beforehand. I don't think he even mentioned it on his easter stream. Nick seems to not understand the PR team he used to have doesn't exist anymore and posting it on his dead twitter and deader locals isn't cutting it. He has a 158k followers and that is the interaction he gets.
View attachment 5870623
1h34m - schedule coping begins; Nick has "the team in place" to do a book, but he doesn't have time; problem still seems to be the loss of the nanny; Nick just goes on and on, Gosney forces a smile, Branca and Legal Vices sit there with their eyes glazing over
2h34m - Nick can't read anymore because of narcolepsy/stress/anxiety; doesn't watch movies or play video games
2h50m - "you always need introspection"; "you have tons of people telling you what you are... and you have to ask yourself, 'Am I that thing?'"
2h52m - "I was never cool at all"
2h56m - Nick reminisces about cheerleading; "We did it to make fun of the cripples whose legs don't work"
3h13m - Is Easter a pagan holiday? Nick is ranting
3h20m - stripper poles in church; Jesus was hanging out with hoes; Jesus was a Pharisee, Nick weirdly invested
3h30m45s - someone who claims to be Metokur superchats:"Please save Nick. He's lost in cocaine and sexual debauchery."
3h41m - more schedule coping; "My wife and I can't do these trips we used to do anymore"; "I'm not whining about it", continues whining; "I have a great life... I wish you all could have it"; "I tell as much of the truth as I can"; "It's personal to people who are not me"; "A friend reached out: 'I'm not telling you what to do, but these explanations are sounding hollow'"; this goes on for ten minutes
An ok night on YT at $114 and a good night at Rumble at $106. The new time did cause a dip in viewers but other than that the show is basically a normal guest-less show.
This is an actual interesting question, they seem to be black powder which are exempt from pretty much everything at this point. https://americanguncraft.com/products/ The prices make it feel super scummy.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, my understanding of Catholicism would be that they believe we are justified by faith but good works come from having true active faith so without works we would be rejecting God's salvation as we didn't truly have faith. Not quite as appealing a belief for a drunken, homosexual cuckold.

This is one of the things he's been doing that I simply don't get. This and the closely related Steven Hawking.2h56m - Nick reminisces about cheerleading; "We did it to make fun of the cripples whose legs don't work"
And yet, according to coomalot Nick does not talk to him any more.2h18m - Coomalot is the most genuine guy you'll ever meet
What does he do besides cooming? He doesn't do show prep, read, movies, games. He says he's driving kids around all day but I doubt that. How does he fill his time aside from watching Kayla get filled?2h34m - Nick can't read anymore because of narcolepsy/stress/anxiety; doesn't watch movies or play video games
As long as they don't tell you that in a faggy way right Nick? Cause then you can just ignore what they say and not have to look internally.2h50m - "you always need introspection"; "you have tons of people telling you what you are... and you have to ask yourself, 'Am I that thing?'"
Stand up comedian ladies and gentlemen.2h56m - Nick reminisces about cheerleading; "We did it to make fun of the cripples whose legs don't work"
It is very weird for him to go Nick's show right after the blasphemy. I understand he's shilling his book but it does look bad. Maybe he hopes he can influence Nick in a better direction, maybe it's all a grift. I'm not willing to write Gosney off yet because he does genuinely seem like a good guy, but this is a bit of a strike against him. And it's another one after his weird borderline creepy interaction with that chick that looks like the female Runkle.Just gonna say it now, for posterity's sake, I don't think gosney is on the up and up anymore.
Don’t you have to “know one to be one”? No freemason in their right mind would associate with him, not with the absolute state of his life as it stands nowI was going to say Nick should just join the Masons if he needs a social club as at least they have cheap booze but I don’t think he’d pass the “of good moral character” part of the requirements.
They’re crying out for members and if you got in touch with a local lodge they’re usually more than happy to chat about joining.Don’t you have to “know one to be one”? No freemason in their right mind would associate with him, not with the absolute state of his life as it stands now
They're a litle spendy but not out of line for other small run BP guns. I just wish they were proofed for modern powders id be way more interested, it's the fact they don't take shells that makes them nonregulated, not the propellant per se.This is an actual interesting question, they seem to be black powder which are exempt from pretty much everything at this point. https://americanguncraft.com/products/ The prices make it feel super scummy.
The Catholic position is that the Bible itself refutes "sola fide," because faith that does not result in any action is "dead faith."And since they believe justification is through grace and faith alone, it must be slightly more appealing to Nicki than Catholicism. That would allow him to believe he can be a selfish hedonist and still be saved. Correct me if I'm wrong but, my understanding of Catholicism would be that they believe we are justified by faith but good works come from having true active faith so without works we would be rejecting God's salvation as we didn't truly have faith. Not quite as appealing a belief for a drunken, homosexual cuckold.
I'd like to point out that if you are a catholic, you will be auto-excommunicated for joining the masons. Just food for thought.A few friends of the family have been trying to get me to join for years.
If you like to do the occasional bit of charity work and cheap drinks with the lads I’d say go for it.
