His theory on interference from hostile countries in our social media is actually on point.

The ironic thing is no one will realize I'm being sincere

I thought all of your posts were sincere fwiw

Thank you. I have really enjoyed watching him grow and become a father. Shout out to your wife as well.

Ordered the kids all the stuff they need for camp. I really hope they have a wonderful time. I am going to miss them. They have no access to phones or the internet. It's pretty much all outdoors. Beautiful area.

JosieD · 07-29-2022, 01:47 PM

We did a family weekend there. Loads of fun!

To the gentleman with eye issues....

Could be conjunctivitis. Spreads like wildfire and is extremely common. Your doctor, or a walk in clinic, would examine you and could prescribe an antibiotic eyedrop and have you back to 100% in no time.

Godspeed.

Current set up:

- Living room table.
- Behringer DT770 Pro headphones.
- Laptop 1, 2015 Macbook Pro with my research notes and Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven playing.
- Laptop 2, 2021 Macbook Pro with my dissertation and Blowout open.
- Turkey sandwich.
- Waterloo sparkling water (watermelon).
- Crappy unknown brand office chair.

Trying to get as much written as I can before we celebrate my wife's birthday this afternoon at Four Peaks.

My research specialty is apocalypticism. (Raised fundamentalist, family bought land and waited for The End. The buildup to Y2K was crazy.) I market myself mainly as an environmental historian and historian of religion given that my dissertation looks at how 20th-century conservative evangelicals (a pretty Millennium-minded group) have viewed Nature and ecological issues from nuclear fallout to climate change.

The standard interpretation in environmentalist circles since the early 1980s has been that conservative evangelicals have never cared about nature because they expect it to be destroyed shortly after they get raptured to Heaven. But what I've found is that they actually cared quite a bit up until the 1990s and only became anti-environmentalists after 2008. Which makes sense when we consider that old school fundamentalists have always preferred the unspoiled agrarian world (rural, country, backwoods) to the sin and pollution of modern, high-tech cities.

Thank you. Her birthday is the 1st and our anniversary is the 15th, so early August is pretty busy for me along with getting ready for the school year.

So essentially the new religioius fundamentalists are anti-conservationist because they think humans only have a finite future on this planet so why conserve? I've always been curious how those who believe Earth is God's creation also are so aggressively against environmentalism.
