Wait... No there was one wedding and one time I was in the attached gym at one.
I have been in a handful of them
But it ever so awkward to talk with people about it as I was not raised with going to the church which is an alien ideal to most people it seems

Or worse, "God told me to tell you that you and that person over there belong together" (that one is actually fine most of the time as the person saying it looks stupid. Unless the person theyre telling it to wants to believe it, then it goes worse.)
As I recall, it mostly consists of really overthinking your handshake technique during the Peace Be With You bit if you're sitting in a pew near the cute girl.
Also getting invited to a birthday party and buying a gold cross necklace from Target as a gift
I was raised Episcopalian, and I am still so used to being part of High Anglican liturgy churches that were at minimum politically center-left while also being extraordinarily ritualistic to a formalized degree*, that I routinely just forget a lot of American Christianity is neither of those and that a lot of people get bummed out by it at the very least (especially in nerdy and left-leaning circles, both of which I end up in as a rule)
I do think a lot of people totally miss the Episcopal Church on their way away from the Catholic Church or the Evangelicals, which is a shame because I think there's a lot to offer there for people who want to get away from churches that are some flavor of intolerant
*most Episcopal churches aren't High church, but golly does my mom love them (and is now working at the National Cathedral which is High enough to put a Catholic to shame)
On a similar note, if I ever end up as the protagonist of an Evangelion-style giant robot anime with a lot of appropriated Christian themes, I absolutely want this to be my theme song
Also, ya'll remember that time a bunch of kids made fun of Elijah for being bald so Elijah made God send two she-bears out to kill all the kids? Like, 40 kids?
I think I’ve posted before about late night incidents with my partner which seemingly culminated in me unwittingly participating in a low-key exorcism at like 3am
well, last night was spooky bedtime redux
I woke up to her whispering in her sleep continuously for a few minutes, which I didn’t think much of, so I waited until she was done and I rolled over to go back to sleep.
No sooner had I turned my back to her, I felt her jerk slightly towards me and let out a stream of loud and very rapid tongue clicking in my direction.
I layed still for a minute or so, very awake and thoroughly creeped out, not wanting to startle her. Then I turned back over and lightly touched her shoulder to relax her. She didn’t respond for a few seconds, and then suddenly SLAMMED her other arm down on the mattress with a forceful sigh.
She then happily rolled over, nestled into the sheet and started snoring.
What were common 3rd spaces in the past? I'm not sure I fully understand the term beyond a very broad "not home and not a workplace" and there must be some additional quality

Not playing games on it, mind. Some folks in my old neighbourhood used to have swing dance classes in the hard drive bay.

Cause I wanna enter you once a year.

Mostly just really boring and/or guilt-inducing, though I miss the singing practice I’d get
I frequently went to two services a week because my parents belonged to different denominations

R. Crumb did am illustrated book of Genesis, I think it was?
I think probably because "melech" is "King" and there's a lady on it and who is she meant to be and why....
I've thought about this too much.

I assumed the lady was Ruth

That and the casually racist chick tracts
I mean, maybe Esther, she was a Queen.
But Ruth wasn't really anybody other than a good convert who took care of her mother in law and then married a landowner.
ok, I'll buy Esther.

Oh dang, yeah Esther’s a good pick too
edit: although a quick google seems to imply the comic is based between the entry into the Promised Land and the reign of King David, so shruuuug

Ah so then either Michal or Bathsheba then.
And now, I really have spent far too long thinking about this.

Bible times, man.
Crazy stuff.
You gotta think most bears don't maul any people.
But those two got 20 kids each.
They must be bear legends.
PTFO, she-bears.
PTFO.
