  • Exactly… adapted for a wider audience.

    Dad kept the scifi magazines with Azimovs original short stories. Azimov was a very prolific writer. Dad also had many Tales from Gore. The book shelves literally slumped from the weight. I didn’t fully appreciate the monumental amount of concentrated history I was engulfed in…in my own house. An entire wall of books, magazines, journals(medical, philosophical, anthropological, linguistic, almanacs, etc etc.)

    Grew up… realized some of the things I missed out on. Didn’t sleep on The Well World Series by Chalker though…lol

    Used to live across the street from a Freewill Baptist Church.

    Always curious about other beings mindsets, went and attended a service.

    Walked through the main door and felt the trope of crickets chirping. No one greeted me, said hello, welcome, nothing. I was stared at but never acknowledged.

    The service was strictly talking. No hyms or singing.

    The sermon told me they are creationists that believe “Singing and dancing lead to temptation”.

    Point is their “educational materials” were horrifying. Mostly just fear mongering and advising self segregation from reality.
