if they don't affirm the Nicene Creed, they are not Christians. if they claim to be Christians but they don't affirm the Nicene Creed, they are 9 times out of 10 a cult.

Christians who know or are friends with LDS folks hate to bring this up because LDS folks are truly some of the nicest people you will ever meet and they often share so many of our closest values, but LDS are not Christians, they are Mormons.

Jesus is God.

LDS,JW,Unitarians and SDA are all not Christians due to their denial of the Trinity.

Mormonism has its closest parallels to Islam in a way but more or less it's simply not Christian.

Like- 99% of Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox doctrine is the same. We essentially disagree on:

What/who a Saint is,

Who is it appropriate to pray to,

And how to take communion.

The last time I was in a Catholic church even some of the worship songs were the same.

The biggest differences I noticed the one time I went to mass were communion, the odd blend of traditional worship in a not-so traditional building (usually with protestant churches you'll get traditional church-traditional service, vice versa, or traditional church-contemporary service. Not the other way around), and the short sermon. It was like 5 minutes long, preacher was wrapping up right when most protestant pastors would be gearing up.

Otherwise, more similar than different. Almost like a certain enemy wants us to be at each other's throats instead of working together to further the kingdom of God.

Any conspiracy theory about people going missing in National Parks is automatically silly to me. Like "Why are National Parks such a hotbed of disappearances???" because they're full of idiots. You've got thousands of people who've never pissed outdoors in their life wandering around the woods/desert/mountain with zero experience and zero gear and zero understanding that this place can kill them. You don't see as many disappearances in wild areas because people don't go to them unless they have some background knowledge. Whereas you get tour buses full of old folks and suburban families shuttling people into National Parks 365 days a year. If you took the same amount of buffoons and dropped them in the actual wilderness the disappearances would be significantly higher than at the parks. Use your brain.

Some fun stuff from the notes:

  • park ranger who has seen people spread bacon grease on their campsite in the hopes of seeing a bear
  • British person who is appalled that North American national parks kill people
  • people who lure bison calves away from their mothers to photograph them
  • a lot of it involves bison
  • a LOT of it involves people trying to swim in the yellowstone thermal vents
  • woman who tried to retrieve her dropped cell phone from a pit toilet and FELL IN
  • Lots of people reminding me that caves are a problem too. I know, I just try to forget that caves exist because I hate them.
  • Guys who tried to hike the entire length of Florida in flip flops
  • Someone who approached a bear cub because they thought it was a raccoon
  • Someone who works at an unspecified national monument and says dead bodies keep turning up at the picnic area (Hello???)
  • A few Alaskans laughing at everyone
  • Scottish person who wishes their parks were as effective at killing tourists as ours are
  • A few NPS staffmembers saying the NPS is far, far too incompetent to wage any sort of large scale conspiracy about disappearances
  • Several death threats against David Paulides
  • People accusing me of being Bigfoot (I plead the fifth)
  • A group who got on a raft in a river assuming it would loop back around... like at a waterpark
  • Person recalling a time they saw a hiker "saved by monkeys" but did not elaborate on that
  • BISON
Someone who works at an unspecified national monument and says dead bodies keep turning up at the picnic area (Hello???)

My money's on Organ Pipe National Monument

I like the monument mythos conspiracy theory
