My father went on to Caltech for undergrad and Berkeley for PhD

I will thank God if I can be as godly as he is, or more

It's through this convert to the true faith that I know the Lord today

He has brought me to worship the Lord every Lord's Day

He has taught me both orthodoxy and orthopraxy

He has encouraged me to learn the Scriptures

He has rejected what is popular but sinful

He has embraced what is unpopular but just and true

He has kept himself clean of sexual defilement

Praise God you have such a father!

@Daniil Oxford.

Neat

Ever thought of founding an official chapter?

Off-topic, but is the reason why the fantasy genre is so attractive is because people actually realize that modernity and modern values suck?

Some of it

When it is done well, yes

I remember how Gurge RR Mertins made Stannis as an example of why Medieval values were terrible, and why modern values based on social-contract theory were superior, but then everyone ended up loving Stannis and he got really butthurt about it.

John C Wright's young adult series is somewhat about this directly.... the elfs that secretly pull strings from the shadows have stolen meaning and hope from the world

It's not even with fantasy

Lol I love when that happens... Alan Moore was butthurt that people loved Rorschach

Oh yeahhhh.

Owlman was apparently the one that everyone was supposed to like, ahahahah

Soy owl

Like how Judge Dredd was made by a bunch of British degenerates to satirise "OY FASCISM BRUV" but then everybody ended up unironically loving Judge Dredd.

Btw Wright's ya series I mentioned is real good.... and has one segment I love bc it reminds me of all y'all crazy Catholics

I'll check it out

The hero is facing some monsters, including an evil wolf

The wolf hears he is a Christian, and laughs, and starts blaspheming

"When the disciples stole the body from the tomb, they dumped it unceremoniously in a field! None have tasted the flesh and blood of Christ but wolf and wolf alone!"

And the hero is gravely offended... but also overjoyed.

He isn't only slaying a monster. He also gets to slay a heretic.

You should go deeper than just fantasy genre. Escapism in general is popular right now.

Wow.

That's on an even higher level than Redwall.

Wasn't the guy that made Starship Troopers mad that everybody actually loved the movie unironically without understanding any of the "Lel satire mate"?

Lol

That is the thing with lefties

When they write too well... they put too much truth in...... and then people like it for the "wrong" reasons

I unironically hate the guy that made Starship Troopers. It was based on a book that held militaristic values unironically, and the guy that directed the movie, no-joke, read a single chapter of the book, said "Lol this is fascism wtf", and then made the movie for the express purpose of shitting on the book it was based on.

Lolllll

The guy who wrote the book was a left himself, but not as crazy
