1. It just gets worse and worse

[marble falls]

2. Well, of course it is. It's all over the internets.

[Nevilledog]

3. Hey, there's even a book on Amazon

[marble falls]

5. It's crazy. We have more people reading. But they're reading shit.

4. Qanon is one helluva goddamned freak show

[blm]

6. Oy

7. Killing 2 children because Qanon convinced their father . ..

that the mother of those two kids had demon dna.

9/11 is Qanon's "Jesus" date of birth is beyond words. I'm pretty sure the crazed evangelist stop that notion quickly.

9. Come on, everybody. This is psyops, already. They are testing the system, probing the boundaries.

I believe this psyops is privately based, rather than a government program.

Any cult does this. Requires more and more outrageous leaps of faith to set the hook deeper into the fish's jaw.

I think we are seeing a deliberate creation of a cult, weaponized using today's communication technology, sprouting like a fungus on our society.

10. Carl Baugh?

"Answers In Genesis" dude? I used to hate-watch him on Xian TV years ago.

11. WTF is the Julian calendar? Are they just making shit up now?

[Hugh_Lebowski]

12. Appears it's an actual 'thing' ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_calendar

Seems the main difference is it doesn't do the occasional 'skipping' of the Leap Year as the Gregorian we now use ... does.

[Celerity]

20. It was the main calendar used by the Western World for over 1600 years.

Julius Caesar proposed it in 46 BC, and it took effect January 1, 45 BC.

Pope Gregory XIII had a very slight adjustment done to the length of a year in 1582. That is the Gregorian calendar we in the West use now.

13. These idiots are crazy

14. I'm glad I'm old

I worry about my grandkids with these nutz. I don’t remember this shit when I was younger.

15. The Bible itself says when Jesus was born.

In Luke, specifically chapter 2, verse 8.

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night."

Shepherds back then, and still today, watch their flocks by night in SPRING, when the ewes are giving birth to lambs.
And they watched their flocks by night to stop predation by jackals, who love lamb for dinner.

16. Yeap.

Xmas has its distinction because multiple pagan religions had a holiday around during the solstice. It was co-opted for the birth of Christ to satisfy a "problem". Even in the book of Jerimiah (10th chapter) denounces current Xmas customs (its been around for awhile). And in Revelation chapter 11....well, it doesn't sound so good.

If you ask me, would have been better if it was kept as a pagan but cultural holiday and becoming mostly platonic.

But to add one other point, Xmas was derided by most evangelical religions in the USA as recently as the 1800's. It was just a holiday to get drunk. But in time, changed.

Good news, we are still saying happy Halloween instead of hallow-witness.

But myths being built on top of myths with these Qanon whackos, wow, that's a special kind of stupid.

[Archae]

18. Oh yes.

Christmas was a drinking holiday, it wasn't until after the Civil War that merchants pushing their wares as gifts became a popular meme.

And as for Christmas being derided, mostly due to it being a drinking holiday back in Jolly Olde England, the Puritans outlawed Christmas celebrations completely.
Christmas was also used as a day off from working.

[Xolodno]

19. If I remember correctly, Charles Dickens...

..is credited for "rehabilitating" the holiday with "A Christmas Carol".

As for the Puritans, we get a bit of a sanitized view of them in the history books. But no mention of some of the other unfortunate things they committed. And yes Christmas was day off...with a massive hangover, you aren't going to be 100% at work.

17. Ah, so Leo Kottke is Jesus?

Well, actually, many guitar players have thought so for decades now, so they wouldn’t be the first to believe this.
