- david927 1y agoWhat you're doing is really wonderful.
- glommer 1y agoI am just blessed and thankful that the Lord decided to give me a chance to help what HE is doing on Preston's life. I've done nothing.

The next step would be background check reform. A DUI record isn't relevant to anything not involving driving. Excluding a very small handful of SVU level crimes everything should be wiped clean after 5 years or so. I had an experience with a co worker who would brag about robbing people, selling substances and when he got caught his family money made it go away. He's a CTO at a mid sized tech company now. Had he been poor he'd have a record and be lucky to work as a Walgreens clerk. Was the biggest "tough on crime" person I've ever met. I think people with means don't understand if you don't have money you can't afford bail. Can't afford bail you'll just be indefinitely detained without trial for months if not years. Everything about the criminal justice system is about exploitation. Get house arrest, that's a daily monitoring fee. States like Florida are forcing released inmates to repay the state for the cost of incarceration. It's past fixing tbh, I'm personally hopping to immigrate to a functional country soon.
- glommer 1y agoThe Lord is doing His work, in Preston's heart. I am very humbled to given a chance to be a part of this.

- glommer 1y agoIf you are asking me about my religion, I am a Catholic convert, after 20+ years of obnoxious militant atheism.
- badc0ffee 1y ago"Militant", really?
- skeeter2020 1y agoI don't read this as he thinks all Atheists are militant, but that his own behaviour was obnoxious? If so, many of us have met those. It's nice to hear about someone who can change their mind so completely; the trick is not to swing to the other end of the spectrum, trading one absolute for another.
- GoatInGrey 1y agoMilitant atheists tend to embody anti-theism. It typically manifests as active desire to dissuade anybody from holding religious beliefs or performing religious practices. Any clergy, whether faithful or secular, has the capacity to act in a militant fashion.
- Breza 1y agoThis is well said. I enjoy reading Ryan Burge's articles about religion. He delves into the stark differences between, as you say, "anti-theism" and the "nones" who are not a member of any religious group whatsoever.

- gwbennett 1y agoBravo Zulu!!!
- dl9999 1y agoPeople like you give me hope for the world.
- tommica 1y agoHow does it exactly work in a scenario like this? Do you just pay to his account, or does it somehow go through the prison system?
