Interesting. Didn't know that.

Well, in truth, all Christians are buffet Christians, even those who swear that they believe the whole Bible. Interpretations vary so much from sect to sect, even amongst "Bible-believing" Christians, that you can take out of it just about anything you need to fit in with your world view.

It's widely believed that Jeffrey Dahmer was "saved" in prison before he was killed. If Chick's tracts are true, it would mean that Dahmer is currently enjoying the endless delight of eternal paradise while his victims (or at least some of them) are suffering the endless torments of Hell, any chance of their being…

If you really believe those ridiculous tracts have the power to change the mind of anyone reading a critical article of his work, then you're completely delusional. Hell is perhaps the most ridiculous religious doctrine of them all.

That's the one downside of being an atheist. There isn't a hell for there to be a special place for people like Jack Chick. Ah well, at least he lived long enough to see the beginning of the end of the power of conservative Christianity to screw up people's lives.

If you want to know what a digital hell would look like, you can read "Surface Detail" by Iain M. Banks. An alien culture bemoans the declining effectiveness of belief in eternal damnation and decides to implement a real digital hell, complete with uploaded (downloaded?) minds and tours for the living to scare the…

Even when the British Prime Minister has sex with a pig?

Actually, I thought the show did a very good job of showing it was a contiguous experience — the visitors experience San Junipero as though it was part of their own lives, with full recall of what they did and felt while they were there, even back in the real world.

BBC America might have something to say about that (they are a separate entity from the main BBC) but if it means more great British shows, I'm all for it.

Doesn't look like it. The way they were talking about rationing their time there, it was real time.

Yeah, I'm surprised too. I just finished watching the last couple of episodes of "Fear the Walking Dead" and even at its worst, the original is far better than that show.

I get the feeling that a lot of people want Westworld to be Breaking Bad, but they're getting Better Call Saul instead.

The operative word being "almost"…

Yeah, the GOP will likely not be fans of TrumpTV. It would only stir up an already unruly conservative base.

He sounds exactly like Lenny on The Simpsons.

Infowars conspiracy theorists, the Alt-Right, and Tea Party. There's probably enough in raw numbers, but it's a pretty toxic crowd for mainstream advertisers, and they are the ones a new network would need to attract.

It would be a headache for the GOP. At least Fox News under Ailes was a dependable ally when it came to disseminating Republican talking points, but a Breitbart-Trump alliance would be far more likely to take the scorched-earth approach, and would make it very difficult for the GOP establishment to keep the troops in…

The most pertinent comment I've seen about Trump's chances of launching a successful TV network pointed out his almost complete lack of success with business ventures outside of his core competency—construction.

The media helped him, but not because they called him the Antichrist or Hitler. The negative scrutiny only really started in earnest after the Republican Convention, and he certainly hasn't gained in popularity since then. It was the wall-to-wall coverage of his larger-than-life persona during the primaries that…

I believe they've established that the hosts do run on a loop — the encounter does happen every day (if not interrupted by a guest's prior interaction) — but that they also can adapt their behavior to deal with some variation in the circumstances of events.
