Then maybe find a small private school that isn’t woke? I don’t know, I think I would be looking to leave if I were you.
I understand your perspective, as I was a Prot for 20+ years and held the same opinion.
A couple really helpful books for me that provided insight into the history of the church and how it relates to Protestantism were “Becoming Orthodox” and “Rock and Sand”
Both written by ex-Protestants that found their way back to Christ’s Church.
If you are able to, I would recommend reading these books. One of them you can get as a free ebook here:

Becoming Orthodox was written by Peter Gillquist, who was a part of campus crusades decades ago and eventually with a group of others decided to create a church that matched the historical church as much as possible, and unintentionally created an Evangelical Orthodox Church.
It’s an amazing story, highly recommend checking it out.
May God bless you, sir 🙏
I have the Gillquist book. Have read several others as well. Attended an OCA church and a Coptic Orthodox Church. Digging into the history of the church after Constantine with the politically motivated fracturing of the church has caused me to question the claims of Orthodoxy. I plan to study more.
How did I miss this one? This is not bad for a Bitcoin song.
I guess I’m still of the Protestant persuasion that The Church is not an earthly institution but rather comprised of true followers of Christ from many denominations. Someday the sheep and goats will be separated and then we will know The Church.
I encourage you to homeschool your children. Self-directed study is by far the most effective approach to learning. I was homeschooled and I attribute much of my success to those years. I have been a self-starter all of my life because that is what homeschooling nurtured in me.
Koresh and followers were definitely not NPCs. So I don’t see your point. Rote memorization is useful and even necessary for many high level tasks. It is just that without ability to reason logically, a person can end up like a glorified parakeet.
I know some decent Orthodox folk, but many are quite prideful in how they believe they are part of “The Church” and all other Christians are not.
nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m, please help SimpleX to create a web client. After that, I can integrate it on NostrNet.work, allowing users to seamlessly use it instead of Nostr DM.
Fully private DMs are a must for Nostr apps but I have yet to test out SimpleX.
Zaps are dead! Long live the Zaps! ⚡️

Nice work. Sad you had to do this but good going with the quick PWA release. One request, it would be cool if you guys added NIP7 to the PWA.

Let’s keep the 🪹 rocking with the #Plebchain purple pill. 🤙🏻
This is the way.
The ease of social sign-in married to the power and privacy of public-key cryptography made me fall in love with Nostr.
It is inculcated from a very young age through government indoctrination centers: do as you are told, trust the experts, smart people can memorize lots of “facts” and regurgitate them on command, cooperation is the highest virtue, men and women are interchangeable, the government cares for you, taxes are so we can have nice roads, etc. Most can not break away because it requires rebuilding their entire worldview.
I have never seen that. Good idea 👍🏼
It's fun to listen to his tracks again after so many years. I didn't know the contemporary secular music influences when I was a kid, but now I can hear similarities with some of the big names of the 80's and 90's like Police, The Cure, The Clash, etc.
Anyone remember Steve Taylor?
I knew kids that acted like Napolean growing up in the midwest. So I guess maybe it depends on where you are from.
I'm with you brother. " For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?"
Napoleon Dynamite is great. This sir, is a bad take.
