Bookmarked for later. I have an unusually busy Sunday morning before trip to see the cardiologist tomorrow.
My own experiences, especially with religious RW'er's half a century ago still horrify my nightmares, became tremendously life-disrupting until I had drug-assisted exposure therapy about 15 years ago, after which I recalled so much shit I'd repressed, sublimated. These "there are only 2 genders" idiots are potential murderers and I'm a firsthand witness, unfortunately without enough knowledge being a kid transplant where the murder and suicide happened to pursue any sort of justice for it. I will tell you Westboro was indirectly, but fully culpable.
This was at the same time I was subjected to inhumane treatment because I was outed, involuntarily, as gay. I don't want to get into the story here. But it has the same simpleton component as those idiots who made all to near attempt to deprive me of my life. That community is now one of the "reddest" area in the nation, hopelessly radicalized.
Initially, I was invited to some relatively benign religious services, at first. But these degenerated into ridiculous torture sessions that can make the craziest movie based satanic rituals look calm. At the same time I was taking physics class. Here's the rub:
These religious idiots tended to use examples of "god's miracles" to replace explanations for actions, that, right there in class, were fully quantifiable phenomena. They got mad they couldn't push that idiocy onto me. It started a socially degenerative cycle that got way out of hand, and if even a few of the Trumper there would be honest, they'd realize how horrible the "queers" were treated, one killed, one committed suicide.
I was next.

i am glad i belong to a all inclusive church. funny i am going for a colonstopy mrrow .

Just as I was planning a visit to a local Unitarian church last Sunday, it was hotter than hell here and my blood pressure shot up sky high. I don't altogether discount that I vaguely recall having another PTSD nightmare about the situation I described but my blood pressure persisted a few days. The exposure therapy helped significantly to reduce the reaction to these nightmares, but going through the horrible shit the Westboro-and-ilk freaks put god only knows how many people through, I'm still surprised there isn't some major class action against them, but in those areas of the country, I guess that's not surprising.
Turned out doc thinks I'm just having a stealth "bug" infection. He switched me out to an N95 mask at intake when clerk discovered I had a low grade fever. I'm recently retired health care worker with history of a lot of exposure to COVID, undoubtedly every strain. I'm not the only one who can test positive for COVID and hardly show any symptoms. But my diastolic reading was through the roof. I only knew something was quite wrong, dizzy, ears pounding. He put me on stronger blood pressure dose and a mild diuretic. I'll find outtoday if it's COVID and quarantine a few days accordingly. I grocery- shopped up with that N95 on enroute home from the city yesterday accordingly.
Let me know how your scope ordeal went. Ugh I quite dislike having those, and my doc has let me slide with occult blood stool tests yearly. I have had to go through some other medical torture occasionally I'd rather not discuss in detail but so far, since surgery 1 1/2 years ago, it looks like I might be "in the clear now".

the most conservative in southern ca with the black sin of the devil @ age 4. that is where i get my " loveable" personality from
