Guess what

Talking openly about your beliefs is not shoving your religion down other people’s throats. Believe it or not, that’s literally what religious freedom is, and if you antagonize and attack people for simply talking about what they believe to be true, you are the problem, not them.

You could change some key words and have a covid post

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.

Yeah, purgatory too. The closest Protestants come to that is the martyrs rest.

You'll notice I did a funny thing with Catholic in one of my replies.

There's a notable difference between Catholics and catholic.

Capital C Catholics are Roman Catholics typically.

Lowercase c catholics are any Christians who hold to the Nicene creed.

So, us - as filthy prots, are catholic.

I find it funny that the US military spent billions to essentially adopt .276 pedersen 100 years late.

Brother they spent 11 years trying to figure out how to put a box magazine on an M1 Garand

Spending all this money to make a rifle that can defeat level 3 rifle plates in a near peer conflict with chiussiran, and if we ever get there, we find out they issue basic HDPE level 1 plates, but only to their elite troops.

Find some poor bastard with a Mainstays™ cutting board in his temu plate carrier.

All that and it's only the heaviest service rifle ever, comes with a redundant charging handle for all your malfunction-inducing needs, front-heavy as a V8 shoved into Prius, and will have us carrying 33% fewer rounds, reloading 33% more often from a heavier combat load.

Thanks, I hate it.

I like a nice, mid weight rifle. If you look at my 13.9's you will find nice, mid weight barrels, with durable, mid weight rails, on standard, forged receiver sets.

Can't argue with that. My current (and second ever) is loosely based on what I did and didn't like about the Block I M4 I had in my first enlistment. The barrel's a Criterion CORE 14.5" with mid-length gas, which has a really nice tapered profile and the 1:8 twist I wanted, in an Aero receiver and ATLAS R-ONE handguard. TA31F and an offset dot up top, polymer BUIS, a basic light and sling and for now that's it. Ends up lighter and better-balanced than all the Mk18-ish builds some of my friends have.

My 139's are split in two- one is a fairly premium one (that has a bad barrel from the factory and I need to replace it.) it also needs an optic- because I robbed it's scope for a different rifle.

The other is an experiment, it's a sub $100 13.9 barrel I found on B. Kings, with a B. King 13" rail. I'll probably slap a mid range 1-6x LPVO on it. But I might do a Romeo and Juliet set up. I've never done a flip to side magnifier rig.

It technically needs a lower assembly, it'll be a KAK A5 length buffer system. I love the A5 buffer spec. Don't know about the stock.

Sounds cool at least. I don't have a *ton* of trigger time on dot+magnifier combos but I know people who swear by it, and it's cool if nothing else. I already have a Romeo from the old 590 and if I ever build a CQB upper for the AR I'll probably just reuse it and add a Juliet same as you.

Finding good training may be a challenge all its own for sure, I'll look up Symtac. Thanks my dude.

Symtac is Rob Haught's company.

Rob Haught as in the father of the modern tactical shotgun.

His classes are top-notch. All good shotgun classes are based off the Haught method these days.

Thunder ranch is another good one, but Symtac travels, Clint doesn't really.

I wouldn't even mind flying for a class if the tuition itself was reasonably priced. Clint's great to watch on YouTube and I'm sure it's good training, but I'm not paying well over a grand for it unless you'll have me hitting bullseyes with my eyes closed.

You know society is going in a very bad direction when men no longer step in to protect women

It's being deliberately punished here in the US.

There was big news a couple of years ago where a man stopped on the side of the road in New Jersey to help a woman stuck with a flat tire and get her to a gas station. She later accused him of rape, and he was only saved by security cameras at the gas station seeing him be nothing but helpful as well as the woman initiating a hug as thanks before the man left.

At a beach (California or Florida, I don't remember which), a man saved a woman from drowning and performed CPR to resuscitate her before EMTs took her to the hospital. She couldn't pay the hospital bills, so she sued the man who rescued her for sexual assault.

In New York, a homeless man having a drug and/or mental health-related episode was attacking people on the subway. A veteran held him in a headlock until authorities took them both away. The good samaritan was charged with assault and battery.

There's more, but you get the idea.

Happy Earth day and frick them aliens
