Bibleman and A History of Christian Hymnody are wildly different theological materials; what’s the criteria for your collection?

Do you study religions or is the there something else, like an aesthetic thing, that drives your collection?

Also, how much of this have you read and is there any of it that you believe?

Sorry for the barrage of questions, but I find the notion of collecting cult and religious media to be fascinating, especially if it’s for reasons other than faith.

Wow, you might be serious.

I used to keep tabs on the weird religious stuff for fun, but most of it turns my stomach these days to the point that I can’t even laugh at it.

Definitely got super drunk and riffed on Kirk Cameron videos back when he had that Way of the Master series (e.g. the banana video).

I used to have a copy of Dianetics that you would have thoroughly enjoyed.

You should try to acquire a copy of a Mormon seminary textbooks. There should be a series of four of them: Old Testament, New Testament, Book of Mormon, and Doctrine and Covenants/Church History (this is one is a gold mine). The Mormons apparently make them available as PDFs for the current versions, but the older ones are sure to be better.

I’ve got you tagged now as “collects weird religious stuff”. Congrats.

You want me to send you free copies of the Book of Mormon and the Watchtower, too?

I consider it a civic duty to collect these whenever I find them and throw them in the trash.

I have a smart deadbolt that is keypad operated. It’s awful.

Never used the smart features, and there isn’t a bypass to unlock the door when the batteries die — which happens a lot, especially in the winter. I tried using rechargeable batteries in it, but they last less than half the time of normal batteries.

There is nothing more frustrating than punching in the key code and hearing the death of HAL9000 voice before the deadbolt fully unlocks. Luckily I have a back door that isn’t smart.

I’m replacing the lockset soon and this won’t be a problem anymore, but holy shit is it frustrating and wasteful.

Weezer is a tough call because most of the time they’re sad because they’re horny.

Doge.js is required to audit imports across interpreters.

Yeah, it’s more of an act of reverence or deference. However, it is a pronoun (cis-gendered, and preferred) which some people believe never occurs in the Bible.
