Dismal theology-related tweet for the day

Never forget: Y’all are no damn good, and the only way to escape the eternal punishment you deserve is to become a craven weenie who does as he is told by some Holy Man, including forking over 10% of your income.

Quote for the day

“And Christians’ ideas and concepts of reality must be held captive by the scriptures,” said Miller.

It’s a satirical news feature by Tom Rich — published the day Dawn and I left town, so I missed it then — but Poe’s Law-ish, and it nails fundy epistemology. I seriously doubt there’s a Southern Baptist in the entire universe who would find anything objectionable about that quote; they probably wouldn’t even ‘get’ why it’s funny.

Tweet of the day

I have nothing to add but this: There is something deformed and misshapen inside anybody who still can’t see what a godawful piece of shit Donald Trump actually is.

Dawn and I are headed to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula tomorrow and all next week to try to catch the fall colors, so posting will be light if there is any at all; I’ll be back the week of October 2nd.

Here are a few of my favorite pics from previous trips.

Touchy, touchy

I can understand why somebody might be offended by one of those lawn jockey things, but how revved should we get over a cotton stalk sold in a craft store?

A Texas woman has been getting ridiculed online for being “too sensitive” after she blasted the arts-and-crafts chain Hobby Lobby for selling faux raw cotton stalks — which she found offensive.

“This decor is WRONG on SO many levels,” Daniell Rider posted on Facebook this past Thursday, along with a photo of the phony plants.

Ho-hum.
