Not sure if this goes here, but I couldn't think of anywhere else to put it. This was told to me years ago so I can't remember the specifics. None of the names here are real to protect privacy.
About 35 years ago my dad was in his late 20s going to bible college to become a pastor. He did missions down to Mexico to preach to prisoners, bought food for the homeless, a great guy. The pastor at a church he went to sometimes (well call him Adam Larr) introduced him to his daughter Emma. After two months of dating her parents were pressuring them to become engaged, which they did. Single worst mistake of my dad's life. And yes, it was rushed, extremely so.
At first everything was wonderful. They had a good home, my dad was still studying to be a preacher while having a side job as a painter, and Emma's family was supportive. They lived in Texas while the rest of his family lived in California. They eventually had two kids, James and Lisa. Over the next few years however, Emma started to drop the façade. She was bipolar and began to have fights with him over nothing, and the next day be lovey-dovey. She was also controlling, and wanted to have major influence over everything they did.
My dad was and is an amazing father. He would play with his kids, make them laugh, tell them stories, and be as loving as possible. Emma got jealous. She would try to do the same, but my dad was always their favorite.
During all this, and even before, Adam had been preaching. Not just about God though, about money as well. He was a televangelist. "God want you to be rich!" he would say. They only had to pay him, oh, excuse me, the church, in 'generous donations'. They own a multi-million dollar compound and lived the high live. Safe to say, their family was fairly rich.
It was when James and Lisa were around 4 or 5 that things came to a head. Emma would have screaming matches with my dad, fighting with him about everything and nothing. They filed for divorce with only a few days a month with his kids for my dad, despite being the better parent. He was devastated, as he loved his children, but just couldn't put up with the hell that his ex-wife was putting him through.
Over the next few years things settled, and my dad thought that was it. Then he was arrested and charged with child molestation.
During the time James and Lisa weren't with him, their mother and grandparents were telling them how bad their dad was, how he hurt them and touched them. They were being coached to g

This wasn’t today. It was about 11 years ago, but it’s one of those stories that I’ll probably tell at my dad’s funeral.
At the time I owned a 4 plex that I was remodeling. I moved into one of the units while doing the work. It’s located on one of the main street in a busy historic neighborhood in walking distance to a lot, so there’s a lot of foot traffic, cars, restaurants, pubs/breweries, offices, library, coffee shops...and several churches.
My dad was in town staying with me a few days to help do some work.
It was morning. I’m in the kitchen making breakfast when there is a knock on my front door.
My dad, still wearing his PJ bottoms and a robe with crazy curly puffy morning hair opens the door. On my porch stood a few people, 4. They were well dressed and an even mix of both woman and a men. They looked like they were heading to church. That’s because they were.
They were Jehovah's Witnesses who decided to make some rounds before church that morning.
Now, I’m not religious in the least. I would have opened the door and been polite but firm in telling them that I have no interest in talking with them and then closed the door to go on with my day.
However, my family is religious. My dad is 7th day Adventist.
He reads the Bible religiously. And he loves getting into conversations about religion any chance he can. He’s also one of those types of people that gets VERY “passionate,” or overly excited, about things he believes in and preaches about.
Basically, He gets very loud and very animated, and unfortunate for these people, he is very knowledgeable and passionate of the Bible. When he gets this way, people get taken aback, or plain out scared because they believe he’s nuts — perhaps there’s some truth to that.
These poor souls had no idea they had just knocked on Pandora’s box.
A woman begins by introducing the group and explaining their mission. Basically they just wanted to hand out a pamphlet and invite people to their church or arrange time to discuss their religion.
As soon as she offers my dad the pamphlet he starts:
Dad: “I’m going to stop you right there. I understand these pamphlets cost you money to print, so I wouldn’t want you to waste one on me, so you can keep that. I am a devout 7th day Adventist and go to church. I would love to invite you in and discuss religion with you, but this is my son’s place. I’m just here to help him do work. And I understand you’re just wanting to hand pamphlets out on your way to church. But

I used to hate fighting the evangelist at the start of undead settlement, but recently found she can be shot from afar using the longbow. I shoot from the right hand side of the balcony where you cut down Loretta’s body when you first get to Undead Settlement. She aggros and runs towards the house, but if I wait, she then de-aggros, walks back and stands still again, allowing another shot. This works over and over again, making that area much easier to clear... apologies if this is obvious, but it was a bit of a revelation (so to speak) for me...
what if her motives is actually good but well some times necessary bad things need to happen in
order for things to continue.
so i was thinking maybe it is not only that the humanity's collectiveness wants to die what if their certain sun is dying as well so she needs to restart the cycle again but since this already happened she uses adolla and the humanities collectiveness to do it?
So the collectiveness wants the cycle to end? just a thought i really hope there is not the usual : "i want to destroy everything bla bla bla crap again " that would make the evangelist having not decent motives and i wouldn't mind be conflicted if she does a good thing or not that would be a fun discussion over later.
We seem to have seen an exponential growth in the last few years of fake news, conspiracy theories and Obama's lovely phrase, Truth Decay. If there's anything that these absurd beliefs remind me of it is religion. So many people utterly convinced that they're right that they can never believe differently.
So what is wrong with people? Is it the general failing of religion that is driving people to more extreme beliefs? Is it that human beings are so fundamentally flawed that we desperately cling to anything as a truth, no matter how foolish it is?
What is atheism's role in this. Have we taken the life belts away and caused people to grab onto the nearest thing that floats, even if that saviour is a shark?

This question assumes a few points:
- Q existed as an independent written source around the middle of the first century, predating the composition of GMark by a decade or more, and was widespread enough to get incorporated into GMatt and GLuke and receive a commentary in the form of The Epistle of James.
- GMark was primarily a compilation of previous written sources, as suggested by the Multi-source hypotheses of Boismard, Rolland, and especially, Burkett, rather than a purely creative work, as is usually concluded by biblical scholarship.
- GMark's evangelist knew Q, but chose not to to incorporate it into his/her work.
Again, this question is asked within the scope of the multiple-source hypothesis. Please don't reply using solutions from the 2-source, 4-document, Farrer, Augustinian, Q+/Papias, Griesbach, or Marcion hypotheses, or any other competing hypotheses.
Any specific reason?
Also damn her noises sound disgusting and creepy at the same time
How can the Nataku Son and Inca Kasugatani both use their special powers without the Evangelist grace? Is there some sort of explanation I overlooked? I mean Sho and Shinra both need to form a link with the Evangelist to use their special abilities right?
