I like it.
But leave it to the modern heathen goofballs to “redefine” the word yet again. Hubby (or husband) has always meant a man who is married to a woman. But the heathens have redefined it to mean “a man married to someone else”. It would not surprise me if in the near future they water it down yet again to mean “a guy someone likes a lot”. Then instead of calling a guy “bro” or “dude”, you can just address him as “hubby”.
Control the language and you control the education of future generations.
Now I feel like ranting about the other words that have been “redefined” in modern heathen goofball parlance. Some that come to mind: husband, wife, marriage, family, liberal, bully, racist, thug, niggardly, normal, socialist, capitalist, truth, justice, discrimination, good, evil, bigoted, poor, -phobic.
And words and phrases that are forbidden in modern day (in Orwellian fashion) drive me nuts as well. I use them liberally: illegal alien/immigrant (thou shalt say “undocumented immigrant”), blind person, deaf person (thous must sayest “sight or hearing impaired”), handicapped has become disabled, stupid is a swear word, salesman and anything -man must be neutered (as all liberal men have already been).
Things which are frowned upon in modern heathen goofball society: dressing in anything that is not part of your own race (even for Halloween), free speech outside the “free speech zone”, sports teams names and mascots that are “culturally insensitive”, expecting people who move to this country to learn the language and assimilate into our society, God and Jesus (except as a swear word), traditional values, trophies for first place, keeping score in games, saying “ma’am”, holding the door for a woman (always a gamble, but I like the baleful looks I get sometimes), and talking about anything controversial, significant, or meaningful that any person withing 1000 miles might “find offensive”.
I am sure I left out oh, so many things that are irksome about modern heathen goofball people, but the above sample should suffice.

Isaiah 5:20 (ESV) –
Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter!
Disclaimer – this post was thought out and written by an actual human being. No bot or AI was employed during the entirety of this rant. Just the musings of a conservative, pro-capitalist, original fundamentalist Reformed Christian, right-handed, Jersey-born, half-Jewish, D&D-playing, Yaris-driving, Army veteran, beard-wearing, guy.
You play D&D…?
…and still insist you’re a fundamentalist?
John,
You betcha (said in your best Sarah Palin voice).
Nothing in the Scriptures forbidding D&D. Unless players actually learn to cast spells and sacrifice to Demogorgon, that is. The pseudo-fundamentalist of nowadays might take issue, but that is legalism, not fundamentalism. As a Christian, I never wanted to play evil, and as a DM, it was always black and white. Demons were bad guys, not friends or things you worshiped. (Everyone knows you were supposed to worship the DM) Evil always turned on itself. I have a fun story about that from my D&D campaign in the Army. I may share it sometime, if it would not bore folks. I learned a lot about right and wrong playing D&D as a teen, and my love of theology and history and things medieval came from D&D. As did my ability to socialize and work as a team. Much better than modern teens, who all sit within inches of each other, their faces in their smartphones texting the kid next to them instead of talking to them. If I ever start my blog, my first issuance probably should be “What I learned of life by playing D&D as a kid.”
I really do need to work up a cogent and perspicuous definition of fundamentalism that will finally separate it from what it has become.
Now for a tangent!
I listened to your last podcast, with David Pendleton. I really enjoyed it.
I have to agree with David that the word cult is more appropriate for these groups that veer from Scripture. Cults are authoritarian, conformist, and warp the teachings of Scripture. So whether it is German baptists, King James Only-ers, or Westboro Baptist church, they are cults, as I see it.
If you think cult is too strong of a word, then perhaps Modern Day Pharisee may fit the bill. Emphasis on personal appearance of righteousness and majoring on minors and rules-enforcing are what they do.
I think for now, I will call them pseudo-fundamentalists, until I find a better term.

Matthew 23:1-7 (ESV) Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat, so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear,a and lay them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger. They do all their deeds to be seen by others. For they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long, and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces and being called rabbi by others.
P.S. – I used to play D&D. Life got in the way… but I often think of getting a group together to play again. Boguth me the 5th Edition books a few months ago, and the DM screen. Please don’t tell the pseudo-fundamentalists.
