"No book in the world deserves to be so unceasingly studied and so profoundly mediated upon as the Bible. The first and almost the only book deserving such universal recommendation is the Bible."

~John Quincy Adams, President
"The Bible is the best of all books, for it is the Word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next. Continue therefore to read it and to regulate your life by its precepts."

~John Jay
President, Continental Congress
Author, 'Federalist Papers'
SCOTUS
"Suppose a nation in some distant region should take the Bible for their only law book and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited ... What A Utopia - what a Paradise would this region be! The Bible is the best book in the world!"

~John Adams
"I believe the Bible to be the written Word of God and to contain in it the whole rule of faith and manners."

~Robert Treat Paine
Signer, Declaration of Independence
George Washington wasn't a deist. He was a follower of Jesus Christ, a Christian who believed in the "immaculate blood of the lamb" and he prayed to be "more and more in[to] the likeness of thy son, Jesus Christ."

"It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions... There are men, in all ages...who mean to govern well; but THEY MEAN TO GOVERN. They promise to be kind masters; but THEY MEAN TO BE MASTERS... (cont.)
...They think there need be but little restraint upon themselves...The love of power may sink too deep in their own hearts..."

~Daniel Webster, Founding Father

“Why do you think we call the last century the great American century? Because AMERICA SAVED THE WORLD -- not once, not twice, but THREE times from the evils of Nazism, communism, and despotism. If you want a little piece of evidence, here’s one fact to show you ...
...how different the American value system is: We’re the only people on the face of the planet, in the history of the entire world, to hold a technological advantage in war AND NOT USE IT FOR CONQUEST, but instead use it to free and liberate people around the world.
In 1945 we had the bomb no one else had.We could have taken that weapon and forced every nation on the planet to submit to us.We could have controlled the entire planet-that’s been the way of the world throughout history! Any time a nation had an advantage in war what do they do?

Recently finished reading the excellent #book "The Soul of The Marionette" by John Gray.

It's is a short metaphorical essay on progress in human life.

(a thread with my notes on the book)
1/ First of all, what is a marionette?

It’s a puppet controlled by a human via strings from above. The reason it’s graceful in its movements is because it lacks self-awareness that it’s being controlled by someone else
2/ Humans, unlike a marionette, are self-aware and hence always remain doubtful.

The defining characteristic of humans is inner-conflict

Do you believe in 📈 progress? Here's why you're wrong.

(A thread)
1/ The world is more materially abundant than ever, we’ve eliminated several diseases, lifted millions out of poverty.

Yet, people aren’t reporting higher levels of meaning or happiness than before.
2/ Why is this happening? Rising income or material abundance does not automatically lead to a higher satisfaction.

And not just at a global level, but also at a personal level. Why?

Why the #Bible, and why not other "holy" books?
The Bible...
Is breathed out by God (2 Tim. 3:16).
Is necessary for life (Mt. 4:4).
Presents the possibility of scientific inquiry (Ps. 111:2).
Explains human and natural origins (Gen. 1-2)...
The Bible alone gives a basis for universal moral values (Ro. 2:15), reason (Is. 1:18), the intelligibility of the universe (Ps. 19) and the correspondence of human minds to nature (Gen. 1:26-27) and the existence of unseen laws governing the created world (Heb. 11:3)...
Only the Bible presents a true, complete and internally-consistent worldview (Prov. 30:5) and a unified story centering all of history (correctly) on a universal theme (Lk. 24:44-45).

Only the Bible teaches the true and truly Good news that saves (2 Cor. 11:4; Rom. 1:16)...

Going to read “The Right Side of History”. This will be some mixture of enlightening, been there done that, and hate-read dunkathon. Let’s see.

No idea what Shapiro’s background is outside trolling libs, but I maybe he’s sort of Straussian? The ‘Jerusalem plus Athens’ thing.
So the thesis is ‘things have never been better, but we’re fucking it up now.’ Pinker + angst.
‘We’ in the book is Americans, natch.

The Gift of Fear, by Gavin de Becker
"Predatory animals devour prey in order to convert flesh into fuel. Most human predators, however, seek power, not food. To destroy or damage something is to take its power. To push a pie into the face of the world's richest man is to take his power, if only for a moment."
Chapter 1 opens with a play-by-play of Kelly's interaction with a stranger. She's heading home with her hands full, when a bag gives way, and a young man appears, offering his help. He talks too much, insists on following her up, and into her home. He rapes and almost kills her.
