Can Noory pronounce anything correctly?

No

Here I was so looking forward to your elucidation of Pauline theology.

I somehow doubt it but we can get into it if you want to start us off?

I’m a bit sketchy on it myself. When al brought it up I sort of understood what he was saying though. He doesn’t want people to think that evil has any personified agency, like the devil; it’s not important whether Christ really existed or not, etc. He could better explain it.

I wonder where I would fit, because I don't believe in the devil but I also don't believe in the concept of "evil." I just think some people are scum.

It’s not understandable, it’s plain lazy. I’ve listened to a lot of presenters of daily shows over the last few decades who will say to an author variations on a theme of ‘You’ll forgive me, I haven’t read the whole of your book, but I spent a couple of hours with it last night....’ and then proceed to conduct an interview which makes it clear they had an overview of the contents, had read half a chapter here and there, and had picked out salient points, things that interested them, etc. Ian had the authors of When God Had A Wife on recently and described how he was burning some stuff he’d cut down, and sat in his yard doing that and ‘reading’ their book while he did. If Noory is doing even half the show prep he claims, if he was a diligent broadcaster he would find time to at least familiarize himself with the book. But, no. He even absurdly draws attention to it by talking about the title; the subtitle, yet; the artwork on the cover; even recently how impressively large a book was. But the stuff between the front and back covers? Crickets. The only time he’s at ease talking about a book is where each chapter announces a subject and Noory can just work through the checklist, prompting the author to fill the next five minutes: ‘The three-toed anteater of Des Moines. Tell us about that.’

Well, I didn't say it was admirable. I just think it could explain why he doesn't have time to read his guests' books.

Considering some of his guests and their ridiculous ideas, I guess it would be tempting not to read their books. But it's his job to be well-informed enough to ask meaningful questions, and he doesn't exactly shine in that department.

Sure, but I don't agree with the popular view that Paul was a codifier (as stated earlier) so it wouldn't really clear up the original question.  Paul was actually on the "liberal" side of things in early Christianity compared to a hardass like James, for example, very much all you need is love like John, everything is permissible but not all is beneficial, don't judge other people.  He said a few spicy things like women should be quiet in church so people just want to throw the whole thing out.

Look, I’ll just cut to the chase (excuse the pun) because this whole thing comes down to whether the talmudic ritual of circumcision should be continued or not and I think this is what you’re really looking for here. Damn it! Where’s Jackstar when you really need him?!

A thorn by any other name.  The Father of Lies.  Deals with the Devil aren't even negotiable because it's all a Lie, just like him.  It's never too late to repent.  Anything less is a lie.  Jesus is the Holy Redeemer.  All we have to do is confess we are sinners, believe Jesus is God, the begotten Son of God, and ACCEPT His forgiveness.

If it is continued, they need to take less skin.  Just cut a circle in the tip of the skin.  Because that extra skin does something for the female.  Plus, the tip is supposed to be a mucous membrane, not a piece of dry, toughened skin.  Also, with less skin taken, less shaft stimulation will be needed, so less anal sex and less rough sex, and less banging on the cervix.  Also, the two can't really become one flesh unless it is a meeting of mucous membranes, not just a hammer and one mucous membrane.

Compared to Art Bell who concentrated on the radio show, no tv shows or live shows and flying back and forth between LA and St Louis...

George is stretching himself a bit thin. During the tribute, he said twice that Art Bell passed away from a "drug overdose." If it's true, it's true, but I thought it was a bit unnecessary to say that during a tribute.

But he doesn't seem nor behave lazily.
He seems to not have time to socialize with peers, and he sometimes does show admin work on air... So he's working with urgency...  who knows.

Well, it wasn’t so much about the ritual itself (or maybe it was?) but whether Christians should attempt to proselytize Gentiles but I think the answer in the gospels is clearly yes.

No, Paul was explicitly against enforcing circumcision on Gentile converts.

Yes but Peter wasn’t and there was a bit of a brouhaha about it that some would say remains unresolved.

I grew up in the shadow of organized religion, and specifically my minister grandfather’s Scottish Baptist/Calvinist fundamentalism, and I’m acutely aware of this. Most of the New Testament is Paul, who never met Jesus, but devoted screeds to laying down the law of who Christ was, what he wants of his followers, what he meant, etc. He was, imho, the first Christian zealot, not to say bigot, and there is a valid argument that ‘codified’ Christianity might be more accurately called Paulanity.

Paulanity? That has a nice ring to it!

Without knowing how you feel about your grandfather's fundamentalism, I will tell you that my grandmother was a minister in an obscure Japanese religion that no one has ever heard of in this country. Talk about zealots! My dad called her a religious fanatic before I even knew what the word "fanatic" meant!

No, Tenrikyo. I think there are less than a couple hundred members in the U.S. and getting fewer all the time. Although interestingly enough, Tenrikyo's marching band from Japan has made two appearances in the Rose Parade!

...What I want to know is: Why would anyone think the Area 51 pilot thing was real, but think the thing George plays about the little old ladies getting out of their car and pummeling some guy with their purses and umbrellas is phony?

...The old ladies in the car thing might be old and not original to George, but still makes me laugh!
Eh, heh.  Enjoy your cats.

Noory tells his tale of recently when he went grocery shopping without wearing a face mask.
Other mask-wearing shoppers saw him and immediately ran away!
Jorch only wears a mask for special occasions.

Coast is a special show, high strangeness and kitschiness, it should have been handed off to a broadcaster who 'gets it', Noory doesn't, at all.

He's not without any talent, he'd be fine doing a morning show somewhere in this great land

WAKE UP WITH GEORGE AND LORI IN THE MORNING FROM 6 TO 10 FOLLOWED BY RUSH LIMBAUGH, LET'S TALK IT OUT SPRINGFIELD. WXYZ 1230 ON YOUR DIAL!

but he's a fucking disaster as Coast's host.
Yeah, but Julie's happy and that's all that matters.

“I’m continually amazed by the dedication and passion George has for Coast to Coast AM and his audience,” shared Julie Talbott, President of Premiere Networks.  “George is the driving force behind the show’s continued success, and we’re proud to extend our partnership.”

In further news,

"Talbott, who’s been on Radio Ink‘s Most Powerful People in Radio list for the past 8 years, will receive the 10th annual MIW Radio Group Trailblazer Award this year.

The MIW Radio Group Trailblazer Award is presented annually to a woman who, through her leadership and success in the industry, creates opportunities for other women in radio to further their careers.

Talbott said, “I’m incredibly honored and humbled to be recognized with this award. It’s a privilege to join the ranks of so many MIW Trailblazers whom I greatly respect and admire.

Ms. Julie will be awesome when she takes over the CDC to lead us out of the Covid-19 challenge with her politically correct and self-promoting phrase generator!

There's a handy way of finding out if you're scum, just look and see if you've posted more on BellGab than anyone else.
