Every goddamn time.
Excuse me, Patrick is an expert in the true spirit of Christianity. If you disagree with him, it's only because you practice a hate-filled fake version of Christianity. Sorry to break it to you.View attachment 8330416

(source/archive)There's been a flury of stories lately about how church membership in the US has dropped below 50% for the first time in history. And while they warm my little atheist heart, these stories don't make a clean enough distinction between church attendance and religiosity. The two are not equivalent. While a majority of millennials and Gen Z are not active members of an organized church, clear majorities of both remain people of one faith or another. They aren't turning away from God, they're turning away from men claiming to speak for Them. Faith remains an important trapping of a majority of all Americans, even the youth. But the dogmatic, intolerant, inflexible, old-time religion of their parents has drifted so far from what an all-loving God would mean to their lived experiences, the two are irreconcilable. A religion that insists God rejects their gay friends, their trans friends, their Dreamer friends, their sick, poor, and disabled friends is incompatible with the love they feel in their own hearts for members of their community. A religion that demands their married gay neighbors with two adopted kids be forcibly divorced is not a religion of love. A religion that would demand their trans classmate who volunteered after 9/11 get thrown out of the military is not a religion of love. It's not God they've abandoned in droves, it's the hate, ignorance, and bigotry of the past they've grown beyond through exploration and empathy. So instead of going to church, they worship quietly. In their own homes, through acts of kindness and charity. And in so doing, they've gotten closer to the true Gospel of Jesus than any of their predecessors. A quiet faith, uninterested in amassing worldly power. Focused on spreading unconditional love, tolerance, acceptance, and leaving judgement up to God.
I just managed about 3 pages of this. It's awful. Truly awful. The man is a fucking terrible writer, it's quite impressive. Submitting a manuscript with a typo within the first three paragraphs is really something.Oh ye Kiwis, have I got a Christmas miracle for you.
A friend and former Baen editor who now works for that breakaway press Ark Press gave me some files when we met up few months ago... my reasons are my own, but perhaps he didn't notice, but one of the many files just so happens to be Patrick's infamous "Herd Immunity" pitch letter and sample.
I leave it here with good tidings and much lols, its as awful as we theorized. All I ask in return? Show half as much support for GOOD authors and people on our side as you do tearing down morons like Patrick. Pick up some balls-to-the-wall military scifi or sword & sorcery. Look into authors from Larry Correia to Blaine Lee Pardoe to Christopher Ruocchio. Hell, as a favor for this, give the folks at Ark Press some love as they roll out books next year. Though naturally, don't tell them your old pal Boston sent you.
It is the season of giving after all... and in that spirit, bon appetit!

This is like an unaffectionate parody of the meta-ironic quippy writing that was so trendy during the 2010s.The mission briefing room was hot, again. Like, swamp ass hot. Stanton shifted uncomfortably in her chair. Vacuum-rated flight-suits were many things, but “breathable” was not one of them. She wasn’t alone in her sweltering.
“Seventy billion Nudollars on this heap and they couldn’t spring for decent AC,” Sorento said as he threw his legs over the empty chair next to his seat. “Bet the Officer’s mess is cold enough to double as a meat locker.”
“Yeah, and they have hot and cold running Champaign taps but they just won’t share with us grunts.” Liska took a pull from her vape and blew it in Sorento’s face.
“Ugh. Is that spearmint, you soft bitch?”
“Hard enough to crush your little private like a toothpaste tube, Sorento.”
“Sounds like a fun Saturday night.”
“Gotta live that long first, cowboy.”
“Officer on deck!” Stanton announced at the sight of their lieutenant entering the briefing space.
“At ease,” Lt Corinthian said, then pointed at Sorento and Liska. “Except you two. Get any room but this one.” The whole squad laughed. Except Liska and Sorento, who preferred to sulk and continue pretending they shouldn’t just fuck and get it over with. “I know it’s hot. We’ll cross the planet’s terminus into full shadow in a few minutes. It’ll give the heat exchangers some time to catch up.”

HAR HAR HAR HAR SO FUNNYNo, not a milk-run of the lactose-intolerance variety. As in run down to the shops to snag some milk.
Pure curiositism question. Is it normal for those to be submitted as a .doc instead of .pdf? Sending a .doc seems unserious and unprofessional.Oh ye Kiwis, have I got a Christmas miracle for you.

You sir are a stronger man than I. I had to tap out after 3 lines.I just managed about 3 pages of this. It's awful. Truly awful. The man is a fucking terrible writer, it's quite impressive. Submitting a manuscript with a typo within the first three paragraphs is really something.
The writing style is 9th grade education level. Also he appears to have just ripped off Starship Troopers and Ender's Game.

"This is how I would have saluted if I were in the military but I was just too smart for them and they didn't want me. I told them that this is how they've chosen to end their career and they should enjoy prison soon."
I'd rather get coal than this.It is the season of giving after all... and in that spirit, bon appetit!
