“Quantrill believed that guerrilla warfare was superior. Guerrilla warfare empowered the individual man. It offered soldiers a chance to fight close to home, eat home-cooked food, wear sturdy, comfortable well-fitted homemade clothes, ride a horse, choose their weaponry, and make tactical decisions for themselves.
Partisan warfare was more in accord with expectations of white men in the antebellum South than "conventional" or "regular" warfare, which stripped men of their identities and rights.”- Beilein

It is easy for me to imagine that the next great division of the world will be between people who wish to live as creatures and people who wish to live as machines.

@fde_enthusiast7@TURBOPOSSUM One of my favorite theology jokes.
"There are two kinds of Pauline epistles:
1) We are heirs to unfathomable glory in Christ Jesus
2) I am begging you sick freaks as a personal favor to act normal for five minutes until I get there."
