you messed up the hyperlink
How bout now? Still getting used to Voyager, it’s like Apollo but not quite
there's not supposed to be any spaces between the brackets and the brackets are supposed to be like this: [text]-(link) (without the '-' in between)
brackets are like [text](link), or \[text\]\(link\) if you don't want them, or \\\[text\\\]\\\(link\\\) if you want to show how to not want them
He was an absolute treasure.
You have to skip the pretzel factory episode for the meme to hold though - they go into the whole history of the christian origin
This is a description of what happens in that episode:
Fred Rogers' religious foundation becomes apparent in this episode as he hears an explanation of what a pretzel represents: Originally, pretzels were "given to children for knowing prayers" in Germany. As they are made, pretzels are first shaped "like a great big U. Take one [side] and cross it over the other. This is to represent children's arms praying to God. Then we take one and fold over the other. That represents your parents -- mom and dad. We pick up the ends and fold them on back." When Mister Rogers asks if there always has to be three holes in a pretzel, he is told that the three holes represent the Holy Trinity.
It sounds to me like religion is discussed, but no one is told what to believe. Just why a pretzel is that shape. It doesn't seem especially different than hearing any other myth. I'm guessing that little kids might want to know why a pretzel is the shape it is and that is the reason.
I wouldn't count it at teaching kids about anything but why a pretzel is a pretzel shape.
He built a whole imaginary town for kids to feel their feelings, we’ll give him one free god pass
He’s a treasure no matter your denomination
If you build it, they will come.
Build a life of character, love, compassion, kindness, and respect, that is. And we still admire the man for his teachings.
Unfortunately religions build power structures for control, wealth, exclusivity, hypocrisy, and repressive dogma. That's why people are leaving.
A real Christian!
Everything you need to know about Fox News can be summed up by watching the clip of them calling him evil. Mr won’t you be my goddamn neighbor is an evil person in their view, and that’ll teach you to recognize screaming hot projection.
I've never seen that clip, and now that you've told us about it, I never want to.
I don't want to get that angry if I can avoid it.
First time I saw it I was incensed, now it’s just my reference for anytime people bring him up. I have a lot of right wing family….they are yet to be convinced. If you’re not sold on being a good neighbor, then that’s on you. That man and his sweaters are gospel
Snopes says it's a real thing. Wow.
Oh it’s real. Imagine being on the side of hating Mr fucking Rogers
I had no idea who this person is until i saw this post. And i just found out there's a movie out there played by Tom hanks
If you aren't American or are younger, that isn't all that surprising. To those of us who grew up in the U.S. in the 1990s or before, he's the reason why some of us still have some empathy left in us.
"Won't you be my neighbor?" I still love Mr. Rogers so much, he is one of the main reasons I still hope for some form of an afterlife... I want to hug that man and say thank you a million times.
Mr Rogers was a muhfuckin treasure. Stood before a hostile congress and won them over with sheer wholesomeness. PBS would likely not exist without that landmark testimony.
I wish he won them over. He beat them. They couldn't well vote against it after his testimony could they, otherwise everyone would have known then what a bunch of trash conservatives are.
What sucks is if he made that same testimony today most of Congress would probably tell him to fuck off.
Fox News literally called him evil.
So -- I had to check that out, so that I can use it. Here's a citation, or at least a corroboration:
It's wild, an actual minister who dedicated his life to teaching compassion and empathy, evil. That really does tell me everything I need to know about them. I grew up on Mr. Roger's, like others have said, the man was a Saint. They knew what they were saying was a lie. They're propagandists, projecting again; they're the evil ones.
To me this is wholly unsurprising. That the mouthpiece for the party most for the suffering of Humanity as a whole would demonize an effective force for empathy, kindness, and humanity. Just one of many cases of accusations on their parts in place being confessions.
Consult the special interest group lobbyists and then tell him to fuck off for the good if the children.
Proud to be from the same tiny little town as this GOAT.
Holy shit, never thought I'd see a neighbor here!
I share a hometown and a birthday with him!

If ever there was a salesperson for Christianity. It's possible to be a Christian and fully understand that they're just stories, not real. The religion is the adherence to being generous, kind, and patient.
and LOVE THY FUCKING NEIGHBOR.
The one with the coal rolling pick-up truck, the don't tread on me flag waving, and the "I'm looking forward to shooting intruders" sign above the front door?
Yes, actually. That's the whole point of Christianity.
And forgiveness for...well...NOT being such.
