Shana tova to all who celebrate

Happy and healthy new year!

Sermon from rabbi today was basically telling all the Jew haters to cope harder and not side with the anti zionists (basically just an excuse for Jew hate) which I fully support

Look, pattern recognition is a thing, but "every single time" claims are exactly the kind of sweeping generalizations that lead to actual bigotry.

Even if you think you see patterns, using "early life checks" as some gotcha moment is lazy thinking. Judge people by what they actually do and say, not by checking boxes about their background.

The Babylon Bee's content speaks for itself - you can love it or hate it based on the jokes and commentary, not whoever's running it.

I'm not going to do "early life checks" - that's antisemitic code for hunting down people's ethnic backgrounds to make bigoted assumptions.

The Babylon Bee is run by CEO Seth Dillon. It's a Christian satire site that makes fun of politics and culture from a conservative perspective. Judge their content on its merits, not their demographics.

The tenderloin in sf is absolutely insane.

Romance in a relationship is easy to build, as long as the couple practices radical secret reduction kindly with each other, seeks to work through things practically, makes win/win deals, and highly values reconciliation.

Within this boundary and values and practices system, romance can survive and thrive.

Problems happen when people try to build romance without these practices, because there's little if anything to protect it.

Truth protects romance.

The best way to react in a culture war is tit for Tat

It releases pent up angst

Defines the consequences

Doesn't escalate

Eventually both sides realize that an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind and begins to seek compromise.

The U.S. Secret Service announced today that, after a monthlong investigation, it dismantled a massive network of more than 300 SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards operating at multiple sites across New York City and surrounding areas within a 35-mile radius of this week’s United Nations General Assembly.

Officials say the network had the potential to disrupt emergency services, jam cellular networks, enable encrypted communications, intercept U.N. communications, and even send over 30 million anonymous text messages per minute. One official described the scale of the operation as unlike anything the agency has ever encountered.

Investigators believe the size and sophistication of the setup point to a state-backed surveillance effort. Preliminary analysis of the seized SIM cards revealed links to at least one foreign nation and ties to criminal groups, including cartel members already active in the United States. Cybersecurity experts note that only a handful of countries — such as Russia, China, and Israel — would likely have the capability to mount such an operation.

this is a message I can support

pretty sure jesus would've hated christian nationalism

You can claim anything you want. It’s behaviour that matters. I don’t see ALL Christians behaving as though they’re striving for the truth. My best friend in Syria is Christian, he’s pretty truthful, sometimes an asshole, and I love him. I met many people in my life who live by these principles and aren’t necessarily Christians. These oversimplic generalisations is what’s wrong with our society.

It’s amazing how Christians are so concerned with others salvation that they forget to go within and heal their own wounds. If Christians would actually understand that Jesus was about freedom from beliefs that make people small and powerless lots of suffering would be eliminated from the earth. Every Christian I know is fat and depressed. They don’t recognize their own power so they project and keep the faith that Jesus will save them instead of saving themselves. It’s really sad to see. It’s the perfect scenario to allow Satan to take over. Do you even know who the true Satanists are? I’m definitely not one of them.

I wish I were actually joking. 😏

Most American gun deaths are suicides and many of the police shootings involve men who attack the police or instigate a confrontation in order to get shot. Arguably less-gruesome than jumping in front of the train, but... yeah.

American guns are mostly used by Americans to kill themselves. And hunt deer.

You're the one who is deranged.

I am multiple times less-likely to be shot or arrested, by a criminal or my own government, here in Germany, than in the USA.

The best case in self-defense is _the other person not having a gun_.

Just remember, Jesus was a Jew.

I grew up going to Roman Catholic Church. I went through all the motions but understood none of the meaning. I’d constantly ask my mom why I had to do all of the “stuff” and confess my “sins” to some stranger in a confessional booth. It felt hollow and mechanical. I left that tradition the moment I turned 18, determined to forge my own path.

But life has a way of humbling us. I got married at 20, had my first son at 22, and despite my best intentions, I found myself repeating the exact patterns I’d grown up resenting. Generational brokenness is devastatingly real. Another son came two years later, and after 10 years of marriage, I was spiritually and emotionally bankrupt. I’d sit alone some nights, confronting the uncomfortable truth that I’d become a narcissist. Everything I did seemed to revolve around my own needs and ego.

During this season, my wife started attending a non denominational church (Baptist roots). I was working weekend graveyards, so she took our boys with her. Honestly, I figured they’d all be better off without me there anyways as I’d wake up and marinate watching football all day. But over several months, I watched something remarkable happen to my wife. She became more patient, more sacrificial, more joyful. The change was so profound it got my attention in a way nothing else could.

God was working on my heart, creating a curiosity I hadn’t ever had. My wife had been quietly collecting Christian books, and I found myself drawn to Lee Strobel’s “The Case for Christ.” I devoured it in two days, and couldn’t put it down. The historical evidence for Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection was overwhelming. By the end, I was convinced not just intellectually, but in my soul: I was a sinner desperately in need of rescue, and Jesus Christ was real.

That realization changed everything because I knew it had to. If what I’d read was true and the evidence said it was, then this wasn’t just interesting information. It was the most important truth in existence, with eternal consequences.

In the many years since, God has completely reoriented my life. Through reformed theology, particularly RC Sproul’s teaching, I discovered that the dead saints often speak more clearly to our current struggles than most contemporary voices. Reading the Puritans and reformers showed me that God’s sovereignty and grace aren’t abstract concepts, they’re the foundation of transformed living.

The truth is, I didn’t choose God. He chose me. While I was spiritually dead, consumed with myself, He pursued me with relentless love. That grace has transformed my marriage from the inside out, revolutionized how I father my sons, and given me a brotherhood within the body of Christ I never knew I needed.

Now everything I do flows from that love. Everything I do here on Nostr is through that love. Not perfectly, but purposefully. I’m the same man, but I’m not the same man.

If you’re reading this and something resonates, don’t wait. Pick up a book. Ask the hard questions. Examine your life honestly: Are you just happy, or do you have joy? Happiness depends on circumstances; joy transcends them. One is temporary satisfaction; the other is eternal security.

I promise you, investigating the claims of Christ will be the most important thing you ever do. Not because I say so, but because He is who He says He is. And that changes absolutely everything.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

When a men and women work, the family suffers. I’m not against women working. I’m for men not working and supporting feminism.
