I grew up attending a Methodist church. Went to a Lutheran Church for a number of years. Enjoyed a really good Presbyterian church.
Converted to a Catholicism a few year back. It’s pretty different on a few issues. Mother Mary was my biggest push. Reverence of the Eucharist.
Overall, the more I learned about Catholicism the more it looks like the fulfillment of the Jewish religion rather than its own new thing.
@normonics In N WI, I only didnt like deep winter months like January and February, and hot, humid August (though August wasn’t that bad with all the lakes).
Here in N Idaho, late July/early August seem to be the only periods I don’t like.

@normonics I’ve almost made it out of the minivan stage. Kids are 13, 10 and 8. Have had a Tacoma and an Outback for their entire lives.
Thinking of getting Tesla model Y L next year.
@4TiffanyJustice@Tesla@elonmusk I rented a model Y this summer with FSD. It was great. I’m waiting for the non-launch version of the Model Y L to be available.
1/ OUR NEW REPORT: EQUITY REDUCES EXCELLENCE. Jason Arday was not an aberration. He was a feature, not a bug, of a system that replaced merit with identity. Our new study of nearly 2,000 prestigious Canada Research Chairs provides the hard numbers. 🧵
@Ryguy_88@feelsrattlin I quit at Oathbringer as well, though I recently reread the Mistborn series.
For Oatbbringer I got sick of Shallan and her never ending yapping, personalities and neuroticism.
I want a self driving camper van.
Get done with work, and from then on the van is driving me to a nearby National Forest or Park. If need be it drives me through the night while I sleep in back.
By 6 am the next day, the vehicle has been driving for 12 hours, we’ve traveled 700 miles and I’m at a new trailhead.
@ladybugz443@wesyang It’s a fair point. Counterpoint, Islamic Sultans used eunuchs to guard their harams because a castrated man was a lot less of a problem to their women.
