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".

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".

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

@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
~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>.

...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.

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.

@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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
Mandip Singh of @GurdwaraAid reminds us that the theme today is #Safeguarding and #Disputes and that there will be an opportunity to enjoy similar sessions at regional events including one in the #WestMidlands.
Mandip also speaks touchingly about Gurdeep Singh, Co-founder of @GurdwaraAid, who tragically passed away recently.
I mean, just how much does one person have to take before someone steps up

Das Trump-Netzwerk "Truth Social" ist nach einem miserablen Start plötzlich die meistgeladene App im Apple Store. Wir haben uns auf "Truth Social" umgesehen – damit ihr es nicht müsst.
Zuerst erfinden wir einen Alias: Ron Roger, einen überzeugten Trump-Fan und Wahrheitssucher aus New Jersey. Wir hoffen, dass wir uns so unauffällig umsehen können.
Wer "Truth Social" nutzen möchte, braucht ein iPhone – die App gibt es noch nicht für Android. America first gilt auch im Apple Store: Man muss in den USA leben. Mit VPN-Tunnel und amerikanischer Handynummer ausgestattet, lädt sich Ron die App herunter.

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.

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.
