Just run to the Ace Hardware and grab some DSMO and jumper cables, then get back to us.

Remember to get an oxygen tank too, gotta make sure that DMSO goes to DMSO2 before you can up it to 4 with the zap.

The other question is born into it or willingly joined it.

Knights of Columbus is the Catholic equivalent, but they have pretty open meetings and don’t really hide their involvement in politics. They’re basically the main people throwing their weight behind abortion shit that pisses off liberal clergy. They also bitched at Coolidge enough during the Christo Rey’s in Mexico. They also typically aren’t massive faggots beyond their gay knight costumes.

Most masons I’ve met give off the Skull and Crossbones gay humiliation vibes and have the gay Turkish Fez if they aren’t.

I hope this guy doesn’t turn into a lolcow and basically pull everyone down with him. He seems to have more of an ego and is a know-it-all to boot.

can attest to the guy having an ego, he's got a longstanding tiktok beef with the lady who claimed rome didn't exist. followed that for a while and it devolved into two-way ad hominem really quick.

I feel like a quick answer to that is to call her an antisemite. She’s dismissing the suffering of the Jews under Roman oppression.

Also, why argue with crazy women? They’re just gonna resort to calling you a virgin even if they put themselves as insane.

I’m probably a little biased here, but I said earlier that you see more younger Masons being a bit big for their britches, and it’s understandable but can be annoying.
I’m terrible with dates, but basically there was a big boom of men joining things like the Masons, Knights of Columbus, Goodfellows, Redmen, etc, because they wanted to be part of something bigger and just chill and work with the bros. Membership in these groups, Masons especially, was seen as somewhat of a status symbol. And yeah, quite a few very influential people in history were Masons, and with that history came a lot of pride for people joining. After all, you are now in the same club George Washington, Kit Carson, Andrew Jackson, Buzz Aldrin, Shaq, Audie Murphy, Harry Houdini, and so many more were in, it can be a little overwhelming as a young man.
But, even if I understand the reasoning behind a big head it’s still annoying to hear the guy talk sometimes.

its one of the things he's mentioned in his denouncements, which is ironic since she is herself a self-proclaimed Jew.
from what ive seen she went straight for calling anyone who denied her a white supremacist or fascist, digging up affiliations and whatnot. Aidan, his ego in question, didn't want to sit back and take it, so he dug up her (lack of) credentials. It was a long-ass back-and-forth, eventually involving state police, which followers on both sides deliberately misinterpreted as sexual tension for lulz, especially since whenever either one does something controversial the other seems to have an obnoxious need to call them out.

Understand, history is a very autistic area of study.

 

[Kari Kamiya]

Question, does it still count towards autism if you were a train kid but no signs of it carried on into adulthood?

Damn even his dog is Southern Baptist.
THICK.

Wendigoon's dog is fat and I would not have sex with it.

This guy really needs to stop churning out christfag shit.

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't realize it's a Paradise Lost video.
Wendigoon is fine when he's summarizing biblical fanfiction. I just thought it's another shitshow like his "Lost Books of the Bible" video.

I bet you didn't even bother to watch his Dante's Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso videos.

Nah, all his Christ shit is cool.

What he does need to stop doing though is pushing this "daddy/mommy" bullshit though.

 

[Monuklear]

It's fine when it's just weird angelology shit or old biblical fanfiction. Those are fine. The problem is whenever he tries to touch on anything scholarly. The guy is a practicing Christian, and there's nothing wrong with that of course, but his beliefs color everything Christianity-related he makes.
His Lost Books of the Bible video is a complete joke as a result. As someone who is actually fascinated by biblical scholarship and the early history of Christianity, and is (very) mildly knowledgeable in the subject, I just couldn't bear through it. It's one of those things where it's "not even wrong" (as the smug dickheads love to say), because his entire framework of what he's talking about is completely misguided.

I like the Christ stuff, but I have to agree on the "daddy" meme. He doesn't seem to grasp that having Zoomers see you as an Internet Daddy™ spells disaster for an audience.

I have seen on /x/ some guys shitting on Wendigoon for being wrong about that stuff, what exactly was it he misguided about? I'm less familiar with the history, I mostly look into modern denominations so while different books do tie into that sometimes, I'm more familiar with differing interpretations of what we would call the modern Bible.

Isn't he pretty young, like 24 or so? That would mean that he is a zoomer, albeit on the older end of things. Seems like the birthdates used for Gen Z are 1997 to 2012.

 

[Mr Bubbless]

I've been watching wendigoon since he had less than 30k subs, it was crazy seeing how fast his channel grew. I like watching his appearances on PKA, he seems like a down to earth guy.

I find religious stories interesting even if I don't believe in it. I don't care if the bible is fake because it's a good read.

I actually really want him to do deeper dives into some of the harder biblical stuff like Heiser. Watching Wendigoon and Lore Lodge stuff got me really into the mythology side of Christianity that most Christians don't like to talk about (which is one reason I drifted away from faith in general in my teen years). Like, there's a LOT of explicitly supernatural stuff outside "One singular omnipotent/omniscient God". Even if he just talks about the bible fanfiction stuff, Brian Godawa has some neat christian fantasy stuff (Chronicles of the Nephilim/Watchers/Apocalypse) Isaiah could cover. That and an exploration of the Left Behind series would be interesting.

Mythology is the way to the hearts of the masses. Look how much influence Asatru got after Marvel popularized Thor.

This. His Paradiso vid ended up inspiring me to try getting back into faith. I'm not perfect, not even close to perfect, so I won't try and proselytize, but he really did move me, and having seen him live on Weird Bible he gets really happy whenever someone in chat mentions he's bringing people to God. Very wholesome dude.

I'm not a raging atheist angry at "le bronze age fairy tales". I'm saying that the bible is a fascinating collection of books with a long, complex and very uncertain history behind its composition, which spanned some 800+ years. The bible is not "fake", it is firmly rooted in the history of a group of people(s) living in a very specific part of the world and coming from very specific cultural background(s). Early Christianity was a very diverse group of religions/sects with different beliefs and practices, some of which is reflected in the NT.

What I'm saying is that American Christfags like Wendigoon gloss over all that complexity, nuance, context and uncertainty, because some of it may make them feel uncomfortable. It's hard to critically read a text that you believe is the divinely inspired word of god, because instead of understanding things as the people who wrote it (may) have understood it, you are looking at it as reaffirmation for what you, as a 21st century Christian, already believe.

I remember he once did a stream with that annoying friend of his about the Tower of Babel (which is actually the story of the City of Babel; the tower is incidental) and I went ahead an counted. The idiots made like a dozen very fundamental mistakes in the first 30 minutes. One of them claimed Genesis is the oldest book in the bible (because it's first, I guess?) when we have pretty good linguistic/thematic evidence that most of it is actually quite late. The Joseph story may have been written as late as the Hellenistic period.
(For the curious: Oldest portions of the bible are probably the Song of the Sea and Song of Deborah. Oldest books are the two minor prophets written in the Kingdom of Israel, i.e. Amos and Hosea)
