509 - Foods, Drugs, And Language That Are Bad For You

[10:31 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

So i got some Limburger cheese

[10:31 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Sounds like a personal problem

[10:31 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

Never had it. I always remember my grandma eating it on rye bread and thinking it was gross just from the stigma of the name itself. Never even took a sniff

I decided to try it

[10:31 AM] 

Took the stinky cheese plunge, huh?

[10:31 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

The smell is quite bad.  Worse than I expected.  It doesn't fill up the room but if it's within 2 feet of your nose, you know it

I put it on a piece of toasted bread - some small slivers.

I even consciously tried to block my smelling while i ate it but I couldn't. 

No idea what it tastes like.  I could still smell it while i brought it to my mouth, bit, and chewed. 

I barely swallowed 1 bite and had to brush my teeth and tongue afterwards.

I smelled it even through the night

[10:34 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Geez

[10:34 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

Like a homeless man's ball sack in Miami during a heat wave

[10:34 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

That is oddly specific

[10:34 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

"The smell is bad but the taste is good" is what i always heard.

How the Hell do you separate those two senses?

[10:35 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

That's what Steve says about the durian fruit - its apparently sweet going down but has the pungent aftertaste of onions

[10:35 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

At least onions are still food

[10:37 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

This is true

[10:38 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

I'm going to give it another try... maybe it's an acquired taste

[10:39 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Did you just buy it at a grocery store

[10:40 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

I found it at X, but i don't think i'd seen it before

[10:40 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

You think maybe grandma just ate it cause she could actually still smell something

[10:41 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

I think she grew up with it

This sandwich still remains very popular among the descendants of German immigrants in the Midwestern United States, such as Cincinnati, and German Village in Columbus, Ohio. However, it is markedly less popular among the descendants born after about 1960, mainly because of the permeating smell, and the inconvenience of going to specialty cheese and sausage shops to obtain it.

[10:45 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Mr. Blue, do you own a Tyrolean hat?

[10:46 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

No

[10:46 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

You should

[10:46 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

That's a southern thing

[10:46 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Southern Germany?

[10:46 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

Yeah

[10:53 AM] 

(pictures Tyrolean hat with stars and bars on it.)

[10:53 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

What is that liver paste called again?

[10:53 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Gross

[10:54 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

Braunschweiger?

[10:54 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

That's it

I like to get that and eat it

[10:54]

You eat it?

(kidding...I like it)

[10:54 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

Yeah, i like it too

Especially on a hearty bread

[10:54 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

Probably good with Limburger

[10:54 AM] 

Well...its good with cheese, certainly

[10:54 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

I've tried it with brie and butterkase

[10:55 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

People are making cheese outta all kinds of stuff now

or should i say all kinds of bacteria and fungus

Armpit cheese

[10:56 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

And bugs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milbenk%C3%A4se

"spider cheese" :x

[10:59 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

Makes you wonder who discovered what bacteria and fungus was ok to eat

[10:59 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

Dead people

"Don't eat that one..."

There's stories on how some cheeses were 'invented'

Usually accidentally

Some monk left his lunch in a damp basement, some farmer left his food in a cave, etc.

Came back months later and found something gross but decided to eat it anyway

[11:04 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

lol

If my food is the least bit suspicious i wont eat it

[11:34 AM] 

(tells Mrs. Silver the limburger story over lunch)

"So did he ever figure out a way to get rid of the taste and smell?"

"Not sure really.  I'll go back and ask if he figured out a way to cut the stinky cheese and let you know."

[11:36 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

I actually got up around 4 AM and swished my mouth out with vodka

[11:36 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Thats pretty gross

[11:36 AM] 

Yeah. If you didn't swallow good vodka, that's just disgusting.

[10:29 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

So did any of you see that movie "Patriots Day"?  It actually sounds like it got good reviews.  That really shocks me

I mean, Ebert didnt seem to care for it but that dude's reviews are so random i dont read his stuff much

[10:37 AM] 

Leonard Maltin liked it almost as well as Laserblast

[10:41 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

lol

[10:48 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

I've been leery of IMDB ratings ever since someone figured out their formula and got “The Interview” like 9 out of 10 or something

[10:48 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

Apparently Maltin also gave “Mitchell” and “The incredibly strange creatures who stopped living and became mixed-up zombies” 2 1/2 stars

He must've been coked out of his mind in the 70s

[10:49 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Maybe thats what we need, Mr. Blue, to get some talent: a drug phase

To have a "something" out of our minds period

[10:50 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

Google: “how do i get illicit drugs”

[10:51 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Angie's List: cocaine salesmen

I was always way too scared to try coke.  I had a few chances back in the day

[10:52 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

Seems like a good one

[10:52 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

My father said don't do coke because you'll love it

I followed a lot of his advice about drugs, kept me away from stuff

Unfortunately my brother did not

[10:55 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

Ask him where to get it

[11:00 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

He said when you did coke, you could just like drink endlessly

Said it wasnt uncommon to drink a case of beer and feel fine.  Then wake up with a raging hangover

His coke days were around his steroids days. 

He quit those when his friend roid raged and threw his sister down some stairs

[11:02 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

The Sister Stair Throw. Great core exercise

[11:03 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

Then if you go pick up the sister and go back up the steps - good leg work out

[11:06 AM] 

"And, once you've gotten past the plateau and start getting fresh results, you can move on to the 6'x6'x3' Hole Dig technique."

[11:07 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

LOL

The panic and crying burn extra calories

[11:08 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

LOL

[12:10 PM]  Mr. Blue:  
I watched “Bram Stoker's Dracula” finally.

Pretty crazy movie. 

Really doesn't let up on the overt stylization

I didn't mind Keanu's acting...he's supposed to play kind of an idiot and he did. He sounded like an American bumpkin trying to fit into Victorian high society.

I think you'd hear a lot of bad accents in Victorian times.

[12:16 PM] 

"And many years later, their child – Bert – fell on hard times due to his disturbing accent, and ended up as a street performer and chimney sweep who became best friends with a nanny named Mary Poppins." 

[12:17 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

I was browsing the radio yesterday and came on some lady that was doing some transatlantic accent like an early Katharine Hepburn, but with a Canadian twinge.

It was horrible.  

[12:17 PM] 

Funny enough, Bert would be the right age in my silly scenario

Ever hear the story of Dick Van Dyke's terrible accent in that movie?

[12:18 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

Maybe. Not sure.

[12:18 PM] 

They gave him a language coach...he was Irish.  "I couldn't speak in a Cockney accent either."

[1:18 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

If i ever get cancer and die please never stop making fun of it

[1:18 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 

K

[1:20 PM]  Mr. Brown: 

My luck will be i get kilsl by something stuipd

Have all these health issues and a bolwing ball kills me or something

That would be a good quote for your tomb stone

" he died eatting dintty moor"

Damn beef stew

[1:23 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 

I love that stuff over rice

GUD EATIN'S

[1:24 PM]  Mr. Brown: 

chocking hazard everyday

chokeing

[1:24 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

“hear liess x brwon”
“sruvvided by his whife and famaly”

[1:24 PM]  Mr. Brown: 

Writan by Mr. brown

[1:24 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 

"Mr. Brown wrote his own eulogy for this sad occasion...but unfortunately nobody can understand it so it will not be read"

[1:25 PM]  Mr. Brown: 

Future peoples will try and decipher it

[1:25 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

"What language is this?  Must be one never before discovered"

508 - The Poop On Christmas Toys And Pinewood Derbys

[10:12 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

https://www.wpxi.com/news/top-stories/butler-man-accused-of-urinating-on-toys-on-store-shelf/649288892

[10:25 AM] 

Wonder what toys he peed on.

[10:25 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

$800 worth of damage

Probably drones

Or Legos

"Reportedly urinated on $800 worth of legos.  Which was about 2 playsets"

[10:30 AM] 

Heh

"One small Star Wars 15 piece 'fighter' and a 25 piece BB-8."

[10:32 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

I wonder if he was drunk, some kinda pervert, or if he owns another toy store and it was a rivalry thing

[10:32 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Its these Toys! He hates these toys!

[10:38 AM] 

"My damned grandkids want these $800 pieces of plastic Sh for Christmas!  AUGH!"

[10:38 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

"If i piss on them, maybe they'll mark them down"

[10:43 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Yellow Friday shopping

[10:45 AM] 

"Still too much!  (lowers pants, turns, squats over toys)"

[10:45 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

lol

[10:49 AM] 

"Guess what I'M dressing as for Christmas, you bloodsuckers!  It ain't SANTA!"

[10:50 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

Yeah, I was just digging that back up

I love the mall one http://nightflight.com/wp-content/uploads/CAGANER-CHRISTMAS-2.jpg

[10:54 AM] 

Should have the kiddie train go under it.

Talk about an old world joke that caught on and got pounded into the ground...

(Old Catalonian Nativity Scene carver) "You know how many of these things I've made???  AND I'm 2 behind and the bishop wants one on express order???  I'll fix ALL of em!"

(pees on 800 reales worth of nativity figurines)

"Wait!  I'll go one better!"

(starts carving 1st caganer)

[11:03 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

And he's Patrick Stewart in an apron – a Catalonian Patrick Stewart

[11:03 AM]

(customer) "We're here for the Nativity set we ordered?" 

"Ah!  Of course!  I think you'll be pleased.  (opens case).  Well?  What do you think?"  

"This set has a guy right in front of the stable going to the bathroom.  And (sniffs) is that pee I smell?"  

"Pretty spiritual, eh? (winks)"

“I don't see how this fits in a Nativity.”

"Let me remind you that this is a Nativity shop, sir."

[11:29 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

"I just don't find this to be very spiritual."

"You don't find a man going to the bathroom to be spiritual? And would you mind telling me what your concept of spiritual is?"

"I dunno...maybe the Holy Family with a baby Jesus in a manger?"

[11:38 AM] 

"Welllll...that might be spiritual for some people."

[11:39 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

[sigh] "Look.. i'll tell you what i'm gonna do.. I'll carve baby Jesus, going to the bathroom."

[11:40 AM] 

(discuss...sotto vocce) "The Christmas party is in like 3 hours."  "(sigh)  Fine.  We'll take this set." 

That worked extraordinarily well, Mr. Blue.  :)

[11:48 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

LOL

I forgot this line

    Baker: Well, then, what, pray tell, would you suggest we do put on our erotic cakes?
    Young Man: I don't know.. people having sex.. female and male genitalia.. you know,

    something like that. 
    Baker: Well, if that's what you're after, I suggest you try Hostess or Sara Lee! 

[11:49 AM] 

lol

[11:49 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

I read that in his voice

[11:49 AM] 

Oh yes...rolls the skit right up from a 3 to an 11

I'm not sure anyone else could have made it a classic

[9:04 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

I am officially a Cub Scout father now.

[9:05 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

congrats...?

[9:07 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

Yeah

I was all nervous about it, but found out when i got there one of my friends is actually running it

So all is well

Makes me feel more inclined to participate more

[9:08 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Do you dress up too?

[9:09 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

Not enough money yet to have uniforms

[9:09 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

?

[9:09 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

For now we're just learning the oath and laws and having fun - this troop is just starting up

[9:09 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

oh

[9:17 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

Reverent is one of the Law words

That is a fun one to explain to children

I mean i have trouble fully understanding that word

[9:19 AM] 

...you...do?

[9:20 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

Like I am pretty sure what it is, but describing it properly?

I'm not a dictionary. That's where i lack

[9:21 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

Like halfway between fear and respect

[9:21 AM]  

More “respect and admiration”

For God - or equivalent - in this case

[9:22 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

That's what i was gathering from it

[9:22 AM] 

“Reverent” has caused some problems for the scouts in the past

Eventually I expect it'll be replaced.

[9:22 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

Probably

I mean girls can be in the Boy Scouts now

It should all just be called Scouts.

[9:22 AM] 

Because "If I'm going to die for a word...that word is 'poontang'."

[9:23 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

Be courteous and obedient to the poontang

[9:23 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

But don't put that poontang on a pedestal

[9:23 AM] 

"A Scout is Trustworthy Loyal Helpful Friendly Courteous Kind Obedient Cheerful Thrifty Brave Clean and Poontang."

Might be a bit of a clash there with the Scout version of Clean

Had an Eagle Scout misquote that list to me once.  I was quietly furious the rest of the conversation.

[9:24 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

The left hand handshake is interesting

[9:25 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Are you in a position of authority over these scouts, Mr Brown?

[9:26 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

I'm a parent in the troop

So I do the normal 'hey stop hitting the other kid' thing

[9:27 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

lol

[9:27 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

Technically all adults are authoritative over children if they are doing parenting right

[9:27 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Unless the child can assert their dominance over you

[9:27 AM] 

My experience with scouting - at that age, you should probably all have spray bottles.

[9:35 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

"Yeah i helped my kid with his Pinewood Derby car, just a little"
"Is this...a Nissan Skyline?"

[9:43 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

Heh

[9:47 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

One time when I was in Scouts I showed up for the derby and there was a Batmobile

Sure enough, he won all the trials

Because it was a metal exoskeleton

Uh that is not legal

[9:49 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Yeah those races are unfair and why i quit

[9:49 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

Graphite and lead

All you need to win

[9:50 AM] 

If they are checking them properly, the rules are really tight

"Metal Exoskeleton" is pretty much an instant trashbin car

They have a cheat race league for the parents who can't resist that crap and are building their kid's car

"Since they're obviously building them anyway..." I was told.

The 3-year champion in our group...

Showed up with another impossibly perfect carbon copy of 1 thru 3. 

Surprise! Championship # 4.

There's no way he was building his cars.

All the qualities of a precision woodworking shop and skills to match and nothing "cool" like the real kids do.

"....yeaaaaah...an 11 year old made this..."

[9:55 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Then they Youtube his process and here the kid is a prodigy

[9:56 AM] 

Rules are adult guidance, hand tools, etc.

[9:58 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

Help the kid decide the shape, show them how to get them started, then let them do it

[9:59 AM] 

"So...your kid got these precision curves, laser perfect balance and weight placements, high-quality graphics and a satin finish with a hand saw, knife, sandpaper and a can of spray paint."

"Yes!  So proud!"

"He's 9.  He should dump Scouts and open a shop."

[10:00 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

"My son made the Lament Configuration...on wheels"

[10:00 AM] 

I'd watch that

It would lose every race and cause the child anguish...as it should.

507 - Roaches, Habits, Mediocrity, And Heresy All Live For Eternity

[2:17 PM]  Mr. Brown: 

https://homeremediesfor.com/using-wd40-for-your-home/

Lookat all those uses

Haha! Says it will kill roaches

I'll believe it when i see it

[2:21 PM] 

It'll kill roaches! 

"Just fill a tank with WD-40 and throw the offending bugs in.  After they've drunk it all, they'll starve to death."

[2:21 PM]  Mr. Brown: 

lol

[2:22 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

hehe

[2:22 PM] 

"As a faster alternative, use in combination with a common grill lighter to encourage the roaches to leave the flame-filled area."

[2:23 PM]  Mr. Brown: 

Huff WD-40 and you will forget about the roaches

[2:24 PM] 

Heh

[3:31 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

What the F is Brett going on about?

[3:32 PM] 

Arguing with his cell service about a number he can't get, I think, and how we used to just dial 7 numbers.

[3:32 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

Sounds like he's getting his telecom history from Hollywood films

"Back in the day everyone's number started with 555"

[3:33 PM] 

"Now see, if you watch old movies, you'll see that in those days, most people ended phone calls by just hanging up without saying goodbye.”

“Films today do the same thing, but it's only in there out of tradition. Are you listening to me???"

[3:34 PM]  Mr. Brown: 

Back in the day you had to holler down the hollow

Now you got a new fangled thingamajigger

[3:34 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

"If you were someone important you'd just pick up a phone and start talking into it!  Not anymore!"

[3:34 PM]  Mr. Brown: 

Operator! Connect me to the Patsys!

[3:35 PM] 

True, Mr. Blue

"Dammit, we've gotta get a man out to the site!  (Picks up phone)  Get Johnson out to Tucson, right away!  (hangs up)

[9:08 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

The TV is playing the song from “Drive”

the synth-y one

[9:09 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

“College” probably

[9:09 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Yeah that's it

[9:09 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

“College” is good

It's just 1 guy and he has a bunch of projects

[9:09 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

David Grellier

Those kinda people flip me out. I'm not creative enough to have one project let alone several

[9:36 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

yeah it sucks

i wish i was talented

[9:37 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

I came to the realization this year that compared to most people i know i could do art well, but compared to actual artists in the world i suck

[9:39 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

Or you have so many ideas you over do it and finish nothing

[9:39 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

If i try to make anything i just think what's the point?

Why bother?

So its been months since i've done anything

[9:43 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

Yeah there are 7 billion people on earth so it's hard to compete with that

now that we're all connected together with internet and overnight shipping and stuff

[9:43 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

I think i just hit the point i realized i'm not special or unique

[9:44 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

Maybe realizing that makes you special and unique since everyone else thinks they are.

[9:44 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

I dont think so, lol

Sometimes i think, why do we do anything?

Everything is going to end someday, there will be no people left, no one to remember anything that ever happened

[9:46 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

Your family will

[9:47 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

No, i'm saying someday we will ALL be gone

There will be no people left

The universe will have no acknowledgment of our existence

[9:47 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

Aliens come - find old memory sticks and phones. Get them working - find a lot of dick pics

[9:48 AM] 

"What was wrong with this race?"

[9:48 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

i think some people's motivation for doing things is so that that there is something left of them after they die.

[9:49 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Yeah but when we all die nobody will be left to care

[9:49 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

That's true

[9:49 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

The universe certainly won't

But its not like i'll go out and be wild and be a bank robber or something because i dont want to live in prison the rest of my life or be addicted to substances

[9:51 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

Somtimes you just do stuff cause YOU will remember you did it.

[9:54 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

I mainly do things just to kill time, not just to "experience them"

[9:56 AM] 

I try to entertain the living.

And try things while I'm here.

You write a book on Earth and maybe some folks will read it.  You record an interesting life and maybe celestials will watch it.

Being a Pan-Reincarnationist helps.

I have been before this Earth.

I have been spending lives on this Earth.

And I will outlast this Earth.

And there are other versions of this one I have seen and will see.

And this is just one world.

On the other hand, if you believe in some eternal life after this single one, everyone who would actually care would end up there anyway.

[9:59 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Even when i'm involved in christian faith, the idea of heaven has always been hard for me to swallow

I could believe in God, but Heaven?  ehhhhh

[9:59 AM]  

"Oh boy...another perfect billion years of me being mediocre.  Eternity has been all I dreamed."

So, you're a Sheol man, eh?

[10:00 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Like most christians are in it for eternal life but i feel like that was just a metaphor

In reality you'll just have a better life while here just by being Christian

[10:01 AM] 

Billions of Christians did not have a better life here by being Christian.

[10:00 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

Well if energy keeps existing how is it a metaphor?

[10:01 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Going to heaven is much different than merely existing as something else

Heaven is consciousness

[10:01 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

What is "energy keeps existing"?

And ignorance is bliss

[10:02 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

Right. And these are the holes that have always kept me from having a strong faith

or a legitimate one

[10:02 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

energy does not go away, it moves on

[10:02 AM] 

I believe Mr. Brown is getting at the Physics "preservation of information" concept

[10:02 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

A lot of pretty prominent christians didn't have strong faith

Mother Theresa comes to mind

It's hard to imagine that if god or jesus existed that he'd be terribly upset with me not believing in him or an afterlife.

that seems petty.

and if he does exist, i am as he made me.

[10:03 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

Well part of the faith is knowing we cannot be perfect and always strong in the faith

[10:04 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

The main selling point of Christianity is you can do whatever the F you want and then accept Jesus at the very last second and you're golden

[10:04 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

Eh

There is still the fear that you messed up enough

[10:05 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

There's a reason why the big religions became big

And it's not because they are correct

[10:05 AM] 

That's kind of a theological fallacy - makes it sound like all you have to do is say it at the end.

[10:07 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

When they talk about acceptance of jesus, there's more than just saying “oh yeah I belive in that jesus guy, he was cool”. Then you're saved

lol

You're supposed to spread the word, do good, all the stuff jesus said to do

[10:08 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

But in theory charles manson could be in heaven right now and david cassidy in Hell just because of how they truly felt at the last minute

[10:11 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

jesus seems like he'd be cool with me not believing in him

[10:11 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

see i kinda agree with that too

[10:11 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

"You're a skeptical guy Mr. Blue... I like that about you. We need that kinda thinking in heaven."

"you murdered an entire family.. that takes guts.  We need guts."

[10:13 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

Well, one day God decided My creations are always going to be stupid, I guess.

Weird to think that jesus was probably like 5'2"

[10:16 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

I really feel like the church that only went off what Jesus actually said, himself, would be very liberal and not at all conservative

[10:21 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

He was certainly progressive for his time if we assume his historicity based on the gospels

But things change

At one point religious institutions were the leaders in science, learning and other innovations. Modern ones mostly hold that kind of stuff back

[10:24 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

does your church do the whole Bible infallibility thing Mr Brown

like “dictation theory”?

[10:25 AM]  Mr. Brown: 

I have a woman pastor

[10:25 AM]  Mr. McGreen:

"Holy Moly!  Da pastuh's a broad!"

[10:26 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 

*Dictation Theory: God dictated the books of the Bible word by word as if the biblical authors were dictating machines;[19] 

*Verbal Plenary Inspiration: This view gives a greater role to the human writers of the Bible, while maintaining a belief that God preserved the integrity of the words of the Bible."[20] The effect of inspiration was to move the authors so as to produce the words God wanted.[19] In this view the human writers' "individual backgrounds, personal traits, and literary styles were authentically theirs, but had been providentially prepared by God for use as his instrument in producing Scripture."[20] 

*Dynamic Inspiration: The thoughts contained in the Bible are inspired, but the words used were left to the individual writers.[19]

I've always believed it was most likely Dynamic Inspiration

Depending my age, level of theological investigation, and skills in discernment I got through those three already. What, officially, is option four?
