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

2018-10-24 16:30:29 UTC  

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

2018-10-24 16:31:10 UTC  

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

2018-10-24 16:31:39 UTC  

He has taught me both orthodoxy and orthopraxy

2018-10-24 16:31:51 UTC  

He has encouraged me to learn the Scriptures

2018-10-24 16:32:26 UTC  

He has rejected what is popular but sinful

2018-10-24 16:32:44 UTC  

He has embraced what is unpopular but just and true

2018-10-24 16:33:11 UTC  

He has kept himself clean of sexual defilement

2018-10-24 16:34:23 UTC  

Praise God you have such a father!

@Daniil Oxford.

2018-10-24 16:55:07 UTC  

Neat

2018-10-24 16:55:21 UTC  

Ever thought of founding an official chapter?

2018-10-24 16:58:55 UTC  

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

2018-10-24 16:59:21 UTC  

Some of it

2018-10-24 16:59:32 UTC  

When it is done well, yes

2018-10-24 17:01:05 UTC  

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

2018-10-24 17:01:39 UTC  

It's not even with fantasy

2018-10-24 17:02:07 UTC  

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

2018-10-24 17:02:20 UTC  

Oh yeahhhh.

2018-10-24 17:02:36 UTC  

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

2018-10-24 17:03:33 UTC  

Soy owl

2018-10-24 17:03:44 UTC  

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.

2018-10-24 17:04:19 UTC  

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

2018-10-24 17:04:31 UTC  

I'll check it out

2018-10-24 17:04:33 UTC  

The hero is facing some monsters, including an evil wolf

2018-10-24 17:04:52 UTC  

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

2018-10-24 17:05:41 UTC  

"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!"

2018-10-24 17:05:59 UTC  

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

2018-10-24 17:06:22 UTC  

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

2018-10-24 17:06:32 UTC  

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

2018-10-24 17:06:34 UTC  

Wow.

2018-10-24 17:06:56 UTC  

That's on an even higher level than Redwall.

2018-10-24 17:07:58 UTC  

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

2018-10-24 17:08:28 UTC  

Lol

2018-10-24 17:08:35 UTC  

That is the thing with lefties

2018-10-24 17:08:59 UTC  

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

2018-10-24 17:10:03 UTC  

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.

2018-10-24 17:10:19 UTC  

Lolllll

2018-10-24 17:10:34 UTC  

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

2018-10-24 17:10:37 UTC  

Oh, and the author of the original book was dead by that point, so he literally made that movie for the express purpose of pissing all over the work of a dead man.
