  • I watched a documentary about a guy that went undercover with a lot of alt-right crazies. Proper straight up 1488 neo-nazi types. The guy offhandedly mentioned that they did initiations and filmed recruitment videos… in the town next to mine.

    It’s generally extremely Republican-leaning here, full on MAGA signs in lawns type shit. I still did not expect that. I’ve never actually run into someone that was a blatant Nazi. I think they just keep a lid on this shit in public.

    I have met a few ‘just asking questions’ types, though.



  • Baptisms aren’t just a Baptist thing, though they generally put more weight behind it than most other denominations that do it. At least from what I’ve seen.

    I was Pentecostal growing up, and a few times a year- generally around Christmas and Easter- they’d do an open baptism and anyone who wanted could get dunked. I went to one church without that big tub behind the pulpit you’re talking about- they’d do it in the river nearby. Cold as hell in the winter.

    Basically every brand of Christianity that I’m aware of has some form of baptism, though the exact way it’s done varies a lot.

    Matthew 28:19 is, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”
