I just started this book and it's unbelievably good

The reason Christianity faces such opposition is because its the only one of the big belief systems that doesn't teach resentment.

Islam and Buddhism, and I'd argue even Judaism, tell their adherents some version of "this is why life sucks, you should give up, withdraw, its pointless to try."

Christianity has some of that - Catholicism appears to have more embedded resentment than any of the protestant sects - but the common thread throughout all versions of Christianity is that you can and should overcome the "tests" in front of you.

Its the fact that Christians don't fall into despair that makes non-Christians hate them so much. If Christians would only break and fall down and give up - like them - then they'd be tolerable.

I don't even agree with most of what Christians say. Doesn't matter. Never break. Keep praying. Rebuild your churches. The attacks will never end, but neither will the little victories, where someone sees your faith and chooses to have that. Resentment is a stupid way to live.

I remember thinking my mom was so mean because she wouldn’t tolerate it at all. Then I started interacting with women older than me who hadn’t had that lesson and they are kind of the worst. It’s like “I’m gonna sigh as loud as possible annnnd fold my arms so you have to give me what I want, now”… or they sigh because they are demanding attention now.

Im not sure there is any. I used to get popped for sighing, rolling my eyes, and sucking my teeth. My mom considered it the ultimate sign of disrespect and manipulation.

True story, we don’t live in a democracy.

Has always been a constitutional republic.

Yeah he has really good takes!

Didn’t know Alabama had beaches at all. 🫣

Amazing beach 😍 Where is that?

„In religion acceptance comes at the end. On the basis of an assessment of merit… Christianity is not a religion. It is a relationship, and acceptance comes at the beginning. That‘s radical!“

Workout ✅

Gotta stay active

Nothing is ever going to be perfect. My recommendation is to accept that 🕊️

Just because something isn’t perfect doesn’t mean it doesn’t have value 💫💕

I can’t believe that they have convinced people that this sludge is healthy.

So unfortunate. Reading scripture for yourself is paramount. Bitcoin may or may not be divine but Jesus definitely came down, died, and rose to the world… it worked. nostr:note1tuhx2sf9h4642uwmuvw8jq3e5luscjy7c2qy2l9kclncleqfehjsatxa0r

Socialism at its best. They will destroy the country to win the elections and stay in power.

History repeats itself and most people just keep going with their zombie life 😡
