the modern "#conservative" movement, the right wing of American politics, is fundamentally about the primacy of emotions over reason.

of course that's not something that right-wing politicians and pundits will ever admit openly. @MattWalshBlog pretends to be "rational".

(1/x)
Western society exalts itself as the sole embodiment of reason and logic and science on Earth; even mere #Christian bigots like @dalepartridge or @jordanbpeterson have taught themselves to pretend that their bigotries—and indeed their religious assertions—are "logical".

(2/x)
this is an easy trick for human beings to manage.

any human being can be taught to stick, without ever yielding, to an assertion—however absurd the assertion is. "@jordanbpeterson is logical and rational" is an absurd assertion but Mr. Peterson and his fans stick by it.

we in the Pnictogen Wing are perhaps nearly alone in thinking that "flat-Earth" people, i.e. human beings who cling to the notion that the Earth is not a spheroid but instead a disc, are not totally pointless.

flat-Earthers are, for most of Western society, safe targets.

(1/x)
for that reason alone, we are drawn to try understanding the phenomenon better, rather than simply discard flat-Earthism and its adherents as worthless and laughable.

what drives a person to endorse such a quixotic worldview, one that insures their permanent ostracism?

(2/x)
there's emotional benefits to belonging in a mostly-despised faction, of course. the faction experiences so much pressure from outside, the society *inside* the bubble is practically forced to be orderly and well-disclipined—a safe haven from an otherwise chaotic world.

the intellectual damage done by #CSLewis and the cult of #Christian #apologetics that he unwittingly founded is becoming clearer to me. the situation is a bad one.

it's easy to explain: a large fraction of Western intellectuals have, without admitting it, rejected #doubt.

(1/x)
Jack Lewis taught a whole lot of clever, sophistical #Christians how to talk as if they were absolutely certain of themselves even though they were on uncertain ground—which is roughly how Lewis carried himself in the intellectual arena. the bad habits spread from there.

(2/x)
but I contend the problem is endemic to #Christianity. this isn't just Jack Lewis's problem, or Mr. @dalepartridge's problem; this is a fundamental *fault* in Christianity.

Christianity is intellectually incoherent because it has refused to deal with its own doubts.

@dalepartridge @dhanabarger "legalism" has absolutely nothing to do with God, Mr. @dalepartridge; we still inhabit a society that (on paper anyway) is maintained by a strictly irreligious *civil government*, one devoted to enforcement of no particular religion's notions of right and wrong.

~Mona
@dalepartridge @dhanabarger now we know that in reality, Western civil governments have been thoroughly corrupted by hypocritical and deceitful Christian rogues, pushing notions of Christian theocracy--but Christian theocratic rule is NOT the official form of social organization in the West. not yet.

~Mona
@dalepartridge @dhanabarger in other words, Mr. @dalepartridge, whether you like it or not, The Law is a secular thing, a human thing that exists entirely apart from your bloodthirsty #Christian God.

God is supposed to exist *apart* from mere human laws--the instruments of flawed, mortal humanity.

it's been widely noted that #Christianity, during its early centuries, appealed to Mediterranean audiences by appropriating something of the form and iconography of the <i>mystery cults</i>.

it's probably impossible to summarize "mystery cults" in a tweet or two...

(1/x)
...for one thing, I have no idea how many existed, before the fusion of Christianity with Roman tyranny--which led to the wholesale desecration and destruction of all forms of non-Christian worship throughout the Roman dominion--made sure that we'd never know the answer.

(2/x)
right-wing frauds of the @DineshDSouza / @dalepartridge / @MattWalshBlog type love to pretend as though "terrorism" is a crime that only brown-skinned infidels ever carry out, but terroristic violence and pogroms have been central to #Christianity since its earliest days.

@WholeMarsBlog now...this sort of thing is very interesting. it's speculative and futile, nonsensical even, but these little arithmetic calculations are one of the chief preoccupations of the grifter class—the #entrepreneur class, the #investor class, the #cryptocurrency gambler class.

~Mona
@WholeMarsBlog @WholeMarsBlog, @APompliano, @BillyM2k, and all the other grifting rag-tag who are wont to dangle after @elonmusk (or any other wealthy and famous person whom they perceive as blessed with #success) spend huge amounts of time with these napkin-scribblings that forecast *riches*.
@WholeMarsBlog @APompliano @BillyM2k @elonmusk @WholeMarsBlog starts out with a false assumption: @Tesla will be able to extract cash from literally every car driver in the country. this is their presumed #market, and it's deliberately chosen to be as broad as possible, so as to forecast even greater riches from extorting it.

incidentally, this issue to which I allude in my little analysis of one of Jordan Peterson's diagrams—this issue of where Daughters are supposed to come from, if there's only one Father who only wants a Son—is central to the fundamental *absurdity* of #Christian monism.

(1/x)
the scheme is oversimplified to the point of inanity—so fixedly insistent upon the primacy of masculinity to the point that there's *no room* for more than token representation of femininity, as one sees with reactionary expulsion of the Blessed Mary from #Christian canon.

(2/x)
even the #Catholic Church, the Church of the @Pontifex, would rather not that Catholics talked too loudly about the Blessed Mary. they've guiltily permitted some folk worship of Mary, in various aspects—otherwise their dour, manly faith would have had little mass appeal.

I love how the #LEFT target those of #Faith & especially those that are #Conservative with #Evil #Laws to impose #immoral & #unethical standards of living. @DNC #DemocratParty is full of immoral people. @POTUS @JoeBiden is the Chief among them all.

This is the man who in concert with Criminals who have criminally hijacked our beloved Republic. This is a mentally deranged sick individual and not a real true Christian man who fears God Almighty. He's one of many like this. Catholics should be aware of this.

Крштење, са прецртавањем
средине чела, представља
(барем симболично и ритуално, а код многих и стварно) затварање 6. чакре и епифизе. Image
Родновернм народима, којима
је насилно наметнуто јудеохришћанство,
ипак нису успели да наметну обрезивање
на 8. дан

(које затвара срчану чакру). Кад их нису "оперисали" од љубави, емпатије и осећаја за правду, остао им је покушај да униште интуицију,
креативност и духовни развој. Од тада је, уместо издаје Рода, највећи грех постало "бити некрштен". Сетите се детињства, кад вам кажу "ти си некрштен(а)",

“In search of Ruhani” A Vision filled with Strategy & Faith to make a real difference…

It Begins Today…

Thank you @mandolinaes for the wonderful picture & your support, much love.

#ProjectRuhani #motivation #inspiration #faith #hope Image
Day 1:

Good Start with not a great Ending. But It's a good thing that the headstart on my duty worked pretty well. Image
Day 2:

Definitely Not Productive. It didn't go the way I planned and as a result I had to deal with some serious Task Failures.

Furthermore, "The Living Lights" NFT marketing never flourished throughout the day.

Goodnight!

I was in the Sviatohirsk Lavra, place of many sketes, churches and Monastic cells hollowed out in the mountain. A powerful place and one of the @UNESCO heritage. It's Holy Mountains National Nature Park.

#RussianWarCrimes
During the #RussianInvasion, this holy place provided shelter for civilians and so (why?) became the target of the #RussianArmy.
On 12 March, #Russians striked the nearby bridge across the Donets, when about 520 people were attending in the monastery. The blast damaged the windows and doors of the monastery buildings, and several people were injured from the glass shards.

Humanity is at it’s crossroads, every choice EVERYONE collectively makes from this point forward determines whether there’s A future for ALL mankind & the children or just the children.

Is everyone going to collectively put on their BIG Boy/Girl pants

Navinder Grover kicks off ⁦@GurdwaraAid⁩’s National Gurdwara Conference 2022, reminding us this is a learning environment and that as well as some great speakers there is an opportunity to exchange know how with peers from gurdwaras and other Sikh charities across the UK. ImageImage

Mandip also speaks touchingly about Gurdeep Singh, Co-founder of @GurdwaraAid, who tragically passed away recently. Image

Back in January, while in days of fasting (21 days fasting movement of my church), I was about to end fasting for that day. I was still eating my meal when suddenly I received a WA message from my girl, Deea.
She sent me these 2 pictures. That was her mom and her boyfriend (at that time, he was in Medan) both got baptized on Dec, 25-26th 2021.

The Toxic #Narcissist Cycle of Abuse: 5 Stages Thread
Stage 1:
Love Bombing & Lying:
Your #abuser lies to you from the start, convincing them-self/selves & YOU that you are liked, included, adored, loved & respected. Your #boundaries are respected & you are overly welcomed
In this phase, you will put on their ‘glasses’, be overmedicated on their empty promises, #future faking, deception & lies 👉🏻 all leading to fake #hopeism. They make you wear their glasses whereby you ‘view’ them as from #heaven & ‘saving you’, being ‘right’ or on the right side
You will #believe what they are selling you as they are now your ‘real family’, your #soulmate your ‘twin flame’,
your ‘neurokin’, your ‘transautlet’ your ‘otherkin’ (insert any propaganda) #family You become the centre of their life/group, organisation initially 🚩You find

Time for a 🧵 on two charts (at the end) that seem to tell an interesting #Bitcoin story.

For several yrs @CaitlinLong_ has openly discussed the potential negative impact of #rehypothecation of #bitcoin by banks, wall street, hedge funds & the broader #tradfi community.
@saylor has discussed and shown the need for sound money and the value that having a savings mechanism brings to the system.

@JeffBooth has shed light on the fact that #deflation isn’t such a bad thing when #technology is actually making our lives better and costs cheaper.
@saifedean taught the 🌏 the importance of time, effort, and energy & the value that living by the #Bitcoin Standard can bring to individuals and countries across the globe.

@FossGregfoss has done a phenomenal job helping to #educate on the benefits of owning #volatile #assets.

@SeanathanCory @walden4pa53 @HoLichette @backtothewind0 @BernieSanders I love #ChristianMythology,
it has many beautiful parts.
But like the people who wrote it,
it is full of cruel & evil things.

Goodness was in the world long before any middle eastern men wrote the bible. Some #mythos worship knowledge instead of demonizing it.
@SeanathanCory @walden4pa53 @HoLichette @backtothewind0 @BernieSanders One red flag for me as a little girl growing up w bible study was the way they dealt with questions. Why did they assume a deity crushed up a gold statue to poison water that made the whole town sick for revenge. Doesn’t a pathogen
make more sense?
They didn’t understand germs🤷🏻‍♀️
@SeanathanCory @walden4pa53 @HoLichette @backtothewind0 @BernieSanders Surely SOMEONE in the town must have proposed the idea that there must be another explanation.
Theres always several possible questions to rule out before defaulting to magic.

Or how about the burning bush?
If it really happened,
what else could have lit it ablaze?

#FridayFeeling #Faith or Experience?
…the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. —Galatians 2:20
We should battle through our moods, feelings, and emotions into absolute devotion to the #Lord #Jesus. ..
We must break out of our own little world of experience into abandoned devotion to Him. Think who the New Testament says #Jesus #Christ is, and then think of the despicable meagerness of the miserable #faith we exhibit ..
by saying, “I haven’t had this experience or that experience”! Think what #faith in #Jesus #Christ claims and provides— He can present us faultless before the throne of God, inexpressibly pure, absolutely righteous, and profoundly justified. ..

Self Deception and How to Avoid It

OF ALL FORMS OF DECEPTION, self-deception is the most deadly, and of all deceived persons the self-deceived are the least likely to discover the fraud.

The reason for this is simple. ..
When a man is deceived by another he is deceived against his will. He is contending against an adversary and is temporarily the victim of the other's guile. Since he expects his foe to take advantage of him he is watchful and quick to suspect trickery. ..
Under such circumstances it is possible to be deceived sometimes and for a short while, but because the victim is resisting he may break out of the trap and escape before too long.

With the self-deceived it is quite different. He is his own enemy ..
