Dulal Giri Ji Maharaj reportedly dropped out of his university studies to remain standing continuously for 12 years in order to receive a divine vision of the Hindu god Mahadev.
Looks as though he’s more likely to see his feet amputated. Ick.

They also call them Grindr crashers.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Condom Christianity hears the word but it blocks the penetration.

Rob Schneider, the savior of Christianity.
Quote:Right-wing celebs offer to pay fines of MLB players who wrote Bible verses on Pride Night caps
During Friday’s game (12 June) against the Chicago Cubs, pitchers Landen Roupp, J.T. Brubaker and Ryan Walker each wrote a reference to Genesis 9:12-16 on their caps, overlapping the rainbow Giants logo worn for the occasion. The passage refers to God creating the rainbow as the sign of a covenant.
A fourth pitcher, Sam Hentges, declined to wear the rainbow cap at all, saying it was “something that I feel like I was forced to support when I don’t morally support it”.
MLB issued a warning over its uniform policy. And while no fines have been issued, the warning triggered backlash from MAGA figures.
Vice-President JD Vance posted: “Trump won we don’t have to do this anymore.”
Actor Rob Schneider offered to “pay the fines for any MLB Christian player who wears a Bible verse on their uniform,” calling the league “ANTI-CHRISTIAN”, with actor Kevin Sorbo replying: “Happy to chip in with you on this.”
Missouri senator Josh Hawley accused the league of “anti-Christian bigotry”.

I can see where the players are coming from. While most of us here don't believe homosexuality should be an issue, it is nonetheless. Individual players shouldn't be forced to go against their religious beliefs, misguided though they may be.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

New Documentary ‘UFOs and GOD’ to Explore Biblical Context of UAPs
The government finally confirms it. After eighty years of secrecy, UFOs are real. On June 16, 2026, Amaris International Media and Winter Star Productions announced UFOs and GOD. The feature-length film will release on September 10, 2026, through Vision Films.
The film blends science, scripture, and first-person accounts. It examines documented UFO cases, credible eyewitness testimony, scientific considerations, and biblical theology. The goal is to answer pressing questions about humanity’s place in the universe.
The creators offer a controversial perspective. They argue these encounters are not extraterrestrial. Instead, they are part of a supernatural reality described in the Bible. Wes Llewellyn, who also hosts, calls it part of an ancient, invisible war continuing since the creation of mankind.
The project responds directly to cultural shifts. Amanda Llewellyn noted that Steven Spielberg’s film, Disclosure Day, recently asked if God is only the God of this planet. This documentary seeks to answer that for people of faith.
To provide answers, the film features a wide range of interviews. Viewers will hear from astrophysicists Dr. Hugh Ross and Dr. Jeff Zweerink. It features apologist Greg Koukl and U.S. Navy radar operator and UAPx President Gary Voorhis. Theologians, ufologists, former UFO abductees, and everyday people also speak.
“This isn’t about paranoia of the unknown,” Warfel said. “It’s about going to the source of truth, the Bible.”

"Going to Church used to make men manly, but not anymore. People are leaving church (and this Christianity) because fathers don't go to church, and fathers don't go to church because there are no fathers; only single women and lesbians are raising children today."
Geez, these people will blame anything for people leaving Christianity, no matter how absurd, instead of confronting the obvious, which is that Christianity is a scam enveloped in fairy tales.
wsj Wrote:The central demographic fact of many modern American congregations is this: Men in church on an ordinary Sunday are outnumbered and aging. The American church has been stripped of much of its male presence.
The culture has noticed men’s absence and rushed to profit from it: the podcast strongmen, the testosterone clinics, the influencers peddling discipline and dominance—all selling at a markup the claim that they can restore a place for masculinity. That’s something the church offered and then abandoned. Men never stopped craving greatness. They stopped expecting it at the altar.
The expectation of finding manliness in faith died for a reason. The contemporary Christianity has muffled the martial half that built it. For centuries the sacrament of confirmation told boys that they were enrolled as soldiers of Christ, and the faithful called themselves the Church Militant. Men met God as a captain who demanded much of them.
That tradition channeled male impulses into service of God and the weak, but the modern demasculinizing of the faith demanded therapeutic reassurance instead. The Church Militant devolved into something closer to the Church Impotent (to borrow from the Catholic historian Leon Podles). Parishes became a circuit of women’s clubs that invited a man to picture himself a bride rather than a soldier.
A much-cited Swiss study from the 1990s asked how faith passes between generations, and the answer upset every assumption about gentle piety: The father decides. When a father practices, most of his children keep the faith; when he stays home, a devout mother rescues almost no one, about 1 child in 50.
Remove the father, and the structure gives way. About 1 in 4 American children, some 18 million, live without their biological father, the Census Bureau reports, and they grow up poor at four times the rate of their peers. The sociologists Sara McLanahan and Gary Sandefur showed that having two parents in the home produces better social outcomes in every race and income bracket.
About 40% of American babies were born outside marriage in 2025, nearly four times the rate in 1970. This wasn’t a private failure of fathers but the result of a public project. Law and politics, having declared themselves neutral toward family, stopped encouraging stable families. Politics is upstream of culture, and a regime that won’t prefer married-couple households will cease to produce them.

Pastor E.W. Jackson warns that if Democrats gain control of government, they will turn America into a socialist, secular, godless, sexually deviant nation: "We don't have to let that happen. God doesn't want it to happen."
