I seriously would give up the entire Fast and the Furious franchise for a sequel to this.

Please pray for my mom she is in the hospital right now

Great read Neil my brother! @dirtpoorrobins Gavin is very good at presenting as the most reasonable, charitable person in the room as a rhetorical tool, and I think he’s used it to deliberately obfuscate his real intention. The agenda across all of these dialogues is to get everyone to accept the invisible church and the evangelical gospel as the defining framework of Christianity. Once that frame is established, it works as a get-out-of-jail-free card for any heretical stance a Protestant body might hold. That’s the false dilemma at work: accept the premise or look unreasonable. From inside that frame he then runs a second move on Orthodox people he speaks to specifically. He positions them to either admit to being exclusivist or ecumenical. If they land on either side, he wins. It’s an appeal to emotion wrapped in the appearance of charitable dialogue. He’s very good at seeming like the most reasonable person in the room while doing this, which is what makes it so effective. @PageauJonathan didn’t take the bait, and that’s exactly why pushing on Gavin’s specific commitments was the right call. The moment he has to name what he actually believes as a Calvinist, the whole cloak of Protestant unity unravels. And like you said, that’s when the Orthodox position comes through most clearly. You could actually see where it broke down in real time. When Pageau confirmed that from an Orthodox perspective, Protestants fall into the same category as Hindus, Muslims, and Buddhists, Gavin was visibly taken aback. In his framework, belief in Christ automatically confers a kind of insider status. But Orthodoxy isn’t primarily about belief rendering status. It’s about being like Christ. That’s not one denomination staking a claim. That’s a completely different anthropology, and his framework has no category for it.

@brndxix no we don't

we need to have an uncomfortable conversation about backrooms

Jordan Peterson made a profound point on Chris Williamson’s podcast. When God dies, a lot of unexpected things die with Him, including science. Science isn’t some purely neutral, secular tool. It rests on deeply religious assumptions: that truth exists, that it’s knowable, that pursuing it is good, and that the universe makes sense. These aren’t scientific claims, they’re metaphysical, rooted in a religious worldview. The universities themselves grew out of monasteries. Without that deeper foundation, science eventually stops being about truth and becomes just another tool for power, ideology, or convenience. You lose the reason to be honest when the data gets inconvenient. Do you think science can survive long-term without any belief in objective truth or a higher moral order?

@CatholicCanuck9 Glory to God!

Update: My wife and I have been joined together in one flesh by Holy Matrimony, thank you all for the well wishes and prayers

@derekjfiedler @annielcrawford imma be real with you that's how I watched the movie from the beginning. the way in which the movie tried to convey its message was sloppy and thus worked the exact opposite way

@2m_rvs @annielcrawford Now "The Tragedy of Ken" is a film title I'd be interested in watching.

For our Ryan Gosling movie week, we watched Barbie and I hate it even more than when I wrote this article. salvomag.com/post/existenti…

@DiscussingFilm This is what happens when you let a 20yo YouTuber cook instead of another washed-up Hollywood hack with a $200M budget. $250M+ off a $10M creepypasta? Hollywood is officially finished. The kids won.

@theclassicwife no

The bagpipes are truly the worst instrument known to man

@MyHobbitLife001 based, have fun!

Going to watch Backrooms today

@nathanidot awesome, enjoy!

finally seeing the backrooms movie today, i’ve avoided all spoilers so i’m very excited

@derekjfiedler yeah, i know, help me 😭

@2m_rvs Ooo that is the dilemma of our time.

I can't shake the feeling that I am overdue for reading Dostoevsky. Besides the Brothers Karamazov, what book would you suggest?

@gstate55 @orthoanbheanin we are now! oink

@2m_rvs @orthoanbheanin lol. We could be swell swollen friends.

Hot take that shouldn’t be a hot take for Orthodox Christians: you can’t believe that the Eucharist is truly the Body and Blood of Christ, receive Him, and then turn around and smoke, drink, and get fat.

@J04ch1m @BarelyProt youtu.be/ArAQ3qyBkPM?is… possibly the most arrogant statement anyone could ever make, "if i would've been in stalin's position i would've ushered in the utopia"

@BarelyProt Real Marxism has never really been tried but we're better than everyone else so we'll get it right this time Comrad ☝️🤓

"Thou shalt not covet...unless it's the property and prosperity of Jews; then you're allowed to covet and even lie about how they got rich, because Marxism, which was of course invented and perpetuated by the Jews worldwide, goes from being an evil thing to a good thing when you use it to hate Jews." The 10th Groyper Commandment

@ErbunnNinja this is ragebait, it has to be

My goodness. That last reply is a doozy.

@gstate55 @orthoanbheanin i did however briefly discuss the name meatwelcomeback with my priest

@2m_rvs @orthoanbheanin So much feast days. Clearly someone never contemplated taking the name “Cheesefare” before entering the church.

@DominicHailsto1 @TSnooker102 i'll definitely check them out, thank you!

Thanks. If you like that sort of intimacy you should hunt out some Bergman, Cassavettes etc. as their work is all about that. Also Basic Instinct comes to mind -- If you like more genre based films which involves psychosexual drama (and spectacle) It's really all been done before.

okay guys imma be real honest with you. i have never seen a spielberg movie that i liked. not the early ones, not the later ones. i do not see how he deserves the credit he gets. disclosure day being absolute propaganda boomer slop is as predictable as water being wet.
