OMG, literally 100 plus comments since I last looked in here.
Most of my books are still in storage. I donβt even know what of it Iβll keep, at this point. Whatever is out, my kids think are worth walking onβI catch them taking them down and making bridges all the time. 5 and under, man.
That I donβt get. Not that I watch fencing, but that thereβs too much precision to just take that up without some research, if I was to write it. I find generic fight scenes are badly done, as it is, in too many cases.
Never say neverβdonβt let people pressure you into them, mind you. But I had my 1st at 34. My father JUST remarried and when he settles down, first thing they are doing is adopting a child. Heβs in his early 60s. (Sheβs about 2 years younger than my nearly 40?) But then, sheβs in a culture where men may not have kids until they are 50ish, so nothing abnormal there, for her.
I was published in a statewide anthology for a poem I wrote in the 4th grade. I can literally say I peaked in poetry that young because the only thing I can write now worth a damn is limmericks. I did write a poem for a brothel (short ballad), in a bookβas in the MC did itβbut sheβs laughing at it as she writes it because SHE finds it awful.

Iβm curious. Define blasphemous because every church forum Iβve been in, no one has a consistent idea of what they figure is blaspheming.
I watched a smattering of it through the years. Not the type of show I get to watch now, with babies up mybackside all the time. lol
Thatβs the whole point of some satire franchises, like Terry Pratchett. I do, on occasion, put something out that comes close to that. (Referencing above, where I mention that dang poem.)
But yeah, anything wedding crashing is rediculous, by the whole theme. Some TRUE stories about that type of behavior are rediculous.
I mispronounce mine. Hooked on Phonics never worked for me.
Well, the 1st is at least straightforward. The 2nd one is a bit harderβfrom sect to sect, thereβs things that are not true to the beliefs from one to the next. One of the oldest examples is Gnosticism (of which there are something like 3 waves, only 1 in the NT) or the Calvinism/ Arminianism divide.
That and I find Jesuits tend to put out a ton of stuff out of alignment with the Catholic church. Enough so that common Catholics complain about them pretty chronicallyβto the point where Iβm more chronically skipping over whole conversations as not being novel. lol
So, I think some of the more subtle blasphemies will be hard for βan outsiderβ to point out.
But yeah, the guy you mentioned earlier is pretty universally seen as a REALLY bad theologian.
