Long story short:

A coworker's wife had medical stuff going on, and our boss cleared him to be there for her weeks in advance. Day of the procedure comes up, and boss asks him to stick around to help do stuff, and my coworker missed her appointment.

My coworker was mad at our boss, and I was irritated at my coworker.

I would've told our boss to kick rocks.

I recently heard an analogy to describe how the Trinity works, and I found it worth sharing.

You can think about the Trinity like you do with the sun.

Think about the thing we call "the sun," without any of its attributes that we can perceive.... if we were unable to experience it, it would still exist as a ball of burning gases and nuclear fusion. Its existence does not depend on its attributes or effects. Rather, everything we get from the sun is dependent upon its own existence.

In the Trinity, this would be God the Father.

Now let's consider what directly pours out of the sun: all that light, heat, and radiation. These thing are dependent upon the sun, and would not exist without it. In our perception of the sun, it is seemingly inextricable from what we call "the sun." The sun itself and what flows from it are in effect, one in the same. However they are technically two distinct things, and one's existence is wholly dependent upon the other's.

In the Trinity, this would be God the Son, or Jesus.

Lastly we'll look at the effects the sun has in our existence. We feel its warmth, it brings forth life, it energizes things, it has a demonstrable affect on our mood, etc... These things that the sun gives us are only brought to bear through what pours out of the sun, which is inseparable from the sun itself and also completely dependent upon the sun's existence in the first place.

In the Trinity, this would be the Holy Spirit.

It's not a perfect analogy, and I don't think there is one... but it is the best one I've ever heard.

Shout out to the Bible Project podcast for laying it out.

If a movie doesn't have a trigger warning at the beginning, is it really worth watching?

Thanks, Derek! I'm looking into it right now

Why do I not get notifications for #zaps on nostr? I'm using both #amethyst and #primal on android.

The only way I know I'm getting zapped is random transfers to my lightning wallet.

I love seeing all y'all maxis freaking out about the lackluster SBR announcement.

I'd ask "what'd you expect," but your reaction answers the question.

Cry harder and keep stacking

Disagree.

This is likely included so they can lawfully hoard already-seized coins.

#6102 #FUD isn't helpful.

One cannot seize something they cannot touch, digitically or physically.

Additionally, the US would see a flight of wealth they simply cannot afford.

This isn't to say they won't try to seize account balances, but if you've been in #bitcoin for more than five minutes you should know #NYKNYC.

All y'all influencers crying about Trump launching his own token are showing your hand...

Did you really think he was coming to this space as a purist?

Don't encourage friends and family to study #bitcoin.

Encourage them to use it.

Don't be like the boomers who use banks.

Get paid on #strike and pay your bills from there.

The exotic nature of alternative currencies is scary to #normies.

Instead, your explanation needs to be as mundane and pragmatic as possible.

"I dunno, I get paid on strike and my life just gets cheaper over time... *shrug*"

The cells in your body are constantly replacing themselves, with the oldest ones only living to about 7 years.

What this means is that every ~7 years, the matter that constitutes your body is completely new and not what made up "you" before.

If you're just matter that's evolved into a complex organism over billions of years, then how are we still "us" as adults?

What makes you "you" from this perspective?

It stands to reason that once your cells have replaced themselves completely, your identity is lost, and your body is merely a copy of what it once was...

By removing God from the equation, from a purely biological point of view, life and existence and essence cease to make sense.

What constitutes "you" is far more than the cells your body is comprised of.

Additionally, if we are just clumps of cells accidentally hitting the biological jackpot, from where do we derive morality?

We, even as creatures with a sense of morality, don't look at cells and try to discern which one is behaving immorally.

We don't say to the lightning when it strikes a tree, "How dare you murder that!"

Why then do we as humans have an innate sense of morality that governs our own behaviors? And how do we know whose moral code is the correct one?

Moral code can only logically exist if there is an external Issuer of that code because ANY code that comes from a follower - or group - of that code would be subject to the whims and desires of their subjective and selfish ambitions, and therefore would not be a universal claim on morality.

Hey nostr:npub1kmwdmhuxvafg05dyap3qmy42jpwztrv9p0uvey3a8803ahlwtmnsnhxqk9, it's super not cool that the only thing I can browse on your site without a login is the default landing page.

Also, shouldn't Nostr be an option under your "Log in using a social account" option? 🤔
