we were taught that to be a Christian meant "to live a Christ-like life" and that is both why we bought into the church doctrine early AND how we broke free

he didn't want it to be like this

ultimately, we didn't split from the church because we stopped believing anything, but because we realized that large scale organized religion was antethical to our beliefs

he would have respected that.

when we were VERY young we attended an Evangelical Free Church. the move to the Presbyterian church was when we were 7 or so?

and the pastor we had there was so good! one of the smartest people we ever knew and he never talked down to us. he knew Greek and Hebrew and still talked to us as an equal.

we were raised in the Presbyterian church (the more liberal branch there's two!) and we are realizing why our parents pulled us out of a more evangelical church even still

I love this paragraph:

“One of the chants that has become ubiquitous at these protests at Broadview is, ‘Love your neighbor, love your God, save your soul and quit your job,’” said Black, who pastors at the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago. “Everybody chants that.”

thinking about the time we bought out the local head shop on their cartons of light menthol cloves just because we knew it would stop everyone from ever trying to bum a smoke from us again if those were what we had on hand

fun fact: both the name of the band and the famous crossbuster logo are the result of them being precocious teenagers who wanted to make people upset bc that's what you're supposed to do when you're 16 and in a punk band

Dexter Holland yes. novel transmissions of HIV was his thesis. he's literally called Dexter bc he is old enough that his bullies called him Poindexter bc of his interest in math and science!

as a child we absolutely bought in to the idea that punk rock was made by violent idiots and this is a deep shame for us bc we now listen to a lot more punk and most of these guys are very well educated

HONESTLY like yes we did phone that paper in. we were also in the middle of a not very nice divorce, so we had limited capacity for our school work. if it's an A for most of your students why punish the one with greater potential you pompous piece of shit

we once got s paper back with a C and a note to talk to the prof about the honors program (which he ran for the English dept) and when we went to him he told us "For most of my students that's an A paper but I can tell you can do better" and that's when we quit academia
