My “Holiday Cards” will always say “Merry Christmas”. Feel free to send me a “Hanukkah”, “Kwanzaa”, or whatever you celebrate card. I will gladly display it in my house next to all the other cards I receive. I celebrate Christmas.

And miss me with the X-Mas.

With enough work and reading early church literature and scripture. I strongly believe this to be true as well. Very similar to #Bitcoin in a way...

Imo we say people should spend 100 hours studying #Bitcoin, then we must also spend the same amount of time studying early Christianity, the bible and the church fathers as these things are not just profitable for this life but for the judgement seat of Christ and the salvation of our souls.

Yeah, I think it should've been translated as "in the midst and within you" or something like that to not lose the whole meaning. If that's the whole meaning...

What's really annoying about my bible is that almost half of every page is footnotes, and the footnotes are never helpful. This is trash. It makes me look at the whole book and see it as just more fiat disease. It serves an expectation of appearance - the heft, the almost transparent pages, the shiny sides. Fuckin trash. Its like one of those ridiculous McMansions, with the design flares that serve no function. Its all appearance. Then the only real selling feature is the ease of reading it, but to make it easy, they sacrificed the depth of meaning, which gets into my main criticism of modern Christianity, which is that people autistically demand simple, nonvariant meaning and flatten the whole thing into an image, which makes it idolatrous. And this bible I have is like a representation of that.

I'm going to have to get a Bible that puts Greek and English side by side. There's a name for that, but I forget... Hebrew is a project for later. Greek first.

What is the normie obsession with XRP?

Confession: I hate working on Sundays.

Resolved: To never work on Sundays, starting in 2025.

The greatest fantasy/sci-fi series of all time are, in my humble opinion:

Lord of the Rings

Red Rising

Stormlight Archive

Hyperion Cantos

Wheel of Time

Chronicles of Narnia

CS Lewis’ Space Trilogy

Zones of Thought

Mistborn

Good morning #nostr fam

Have a blessed Sunday 🙏🏼

The 'Noticing Jews' game is not a very fruitful game to play, I've noticed.

Better to simply make your house expensive to all forms of tyranny, high and low.

The exact ethnic makeup of the ruling class is far less important than the actual methods used to subjugate the masses.

Defend yourself against those methods and then focus on being a productive example to those in your life.

Not rocket science.
