@DPGBehler @CapturingChrist @gavinortlund You didnt even watch the video.

@CapturingChrist @gavinortlund You.

Yesterday, @gavinortlund put out a video claiming there are good and bad arguments from silence. Unfortunately, Gavin is still being inconsistent as I explain below.

@PastorPompu @CapturingChrist @gavinortlund Yeah, and then he actually engaged with the opposing view and changed. Not bury his head in the sand. That’s what an intelligent and objective person does. You’re allowed to change your views when confronted with contrary evidence and facts.

@CapturingChrist @gavinortlund The irony of this post is too much for me. Didn't you use to defend protestantism? Are you really publicly shaming someone for being inconsistent when you have videos like this on your channel? youtu.be/0tzS3GSPq7s?si…

@Englishremnant @o_farrow14261 @theodoresomes Right. Prots are incapable of making anything this beautiful. All they can do is larp like the one, true Church.

@o_farrow14261 @theodoresomes Its now Protestant.

This is literally a Protestant cathedral.

On the death penalty I think Pope Benedict, then Cardinal ratzinger, clarified it well when he basically said it was a prudential judgment by the pope that doesnt carry the same moral weight as topics such as euthanasia and abortion "Not all moral issues have the same moral weight as abortion and euthanasia. For example, if a Catholic were to be at odds with the Holy Father on the application of capital punishment or on the decision to wage war, he would not for that reason be considered unworthy to present himself to receive Holy Communion. While the Church exhorts civil authorities to seek peace, not war, and to exercise discretion and mercy in imposing punishment on criminals, it may still be permissible to take up arms to repel an aggressor or to have recourse to capital punishment. There may be a legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics about waging war and applying the death penalty, but not however with regard to abortion and euthanasia." Josef Ratzinger

@NickJFreitas @TCNetwork Now tell us what the Talmud says about Jesus, Nick. Will you be posting about that too?

@TCNetwork Islam rejects Jesus, denies His divinity and mandates that Christians be either killed, converted or treated as second class citizens. There fixed it for you Tucker.

The people in charge don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus. Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity. Today's Morning Note newsletter covers Masoud Pezeshkian's condemnation of Trump's “desecration of Jesus,” the Iran War's gutting effects on America's housing market, Colombia's plan to murder Pablo Escobar's hippopotami, and more.

@martianwyrdlord No.

Shinto has quietly been the one true religion this whole time and instead of proselytizing the Japanese are just patiently waiting for the rest of the species to catch up.

The castles of Europe are some of the most amazing things we’ve inherited from history Between 75,000 and 100,000 castles were built in Western Europe during the medieval period, with around 1,700 in England and Wales alone, and roughly 14,000 in German-speaking areas... Most of them rose between the 9th and 15th centuries after the collapse of centralized Roman authority and the rise of fragmented feudal power. As attacking armies grew more sophisticated, so did the walls meant to stop them. The cost was staggering: from 1179 to 1188, King Henry II of England spent over £6,500 on Dover Castle alone — an enormous sum given that his entire annual revenue was around £10,000. That figure was more than three times what he spent on any other building project in his reign, and more than four times what went into grand royal residences like Windsor. And then there is Malbork... Built by the Teutonic Knights in what is now Poland, Malbork is the largest castle in the world measured by land area. It covers 52 acres and once housed approximately 3,000 knights. A medieval visitor reportedly noted it seemed "more a city enclosed by walls than a single castle." In 950, Provence was home to just 12 castles. By 1000, the number had risen to 30. By 1030, it was over 100. The pace was not driven by a single empire with a plan, but by thousands of individual decisions made by lords, bishops, and kings who each decided, in their own time and place, that stone was the only reliable answer to an uncertain world... The word castle is derived from the Latin word castellum, which is a diminutive of the word castrum, meaning "fortified place". Between seventy-five thousand and a hundred thousand of these fortresses were built over six centuries as a reminder that every civilization eventually decides what it will leave behind. Europe decided on this. And the castles are still here.

@parlance2025 @WearForbidden @jakeshieldsajj AI slop. Talk about “dehumanizing” while using AI to write your cookie cutter response for you. The irony.

Political discourse is strongest when it addresses substantive policy rather than relying on tropes about hidden puppet masters. Focusing on verifiable facts and institutional accountability builds more public trust than cynical narratives that dehumanize leaders and political actors.

New followers, welcome. This is what we do here. Goy Story by Forbidden Clothes.

Long before your return to the presidency was ascendant, long before the betting markets were in your favor, there was one impediment that stood in your way. We all knew that J6 was a set-up. But we couldn't prove it to the liking of the establishment and donor class that was terrified to support you because of the public perception that you were an "insurrectionist." Tucker Carlson put his career on the line - and lost it - to take the J6 Tapes to prime time, against the wishes of the Fox News executives who put his head on a platter for it. Alex Jones was one of the first voices to support you, back when the rest of us thought it was another one of his insane hot takes. But like so many of Alex's insane hot-takes, he turned out to be right. And so many of us, back then, were wrong. And since the beginning, he has served as your High Priest and Intermediary to America's Far Right, your most faithful subject. He became the target of the same Deep State and Intelligence apparatus that went after you. The same railroad they tied you to, they tied him. The same way, with junk lawsuits in which "the process is the punishment" meant to bankrupt him, shame him, and silence him. I don't have to convince you how that system works. You know. Personally. Megyn Kelly did something that no other self-actualized, glass-ceiling-shattering "boss-babe" would ever do. And that is, despite vulgar attacks and an unnecessary feud of your making, she rose above personal attacks and supported you irrespective of personal disrespect. She could've been the Queen of Crossover Feminists, and had the Left's media apparatus ready to crown her head with a lifetime of media deals if she capitalized on that attention by returning her injury and insult into cold, hard cash. She turned it all down to support you. And support you, she has, out of nothing but the sheer, immovable power of her personal integrity. None of these people who you've just attempted to savage needed the establishment media. None of them have "lost jobs" as though they had to rent their platforms. They made their own, survived the gauntlet of Beltway Journalism, and proved that they don't have to have a Network to have a following. They are all the New Media. They're the New Media who got you elected when the Establishment Media - Fox News included - gave you the cold, hard shaft. They didn't lose their audience. They gained followers. They built their own platforms by the sweat of their own brow and sheer tenacity of their will, the same way you built skyscrapers. Except they didn't borrow to do it. They paid as they went, out of their own pockets and by the currency of their reputation as people who tell the truth. And it's rewarded them well. They didn't "turn on you." You turned on them, on all of us, and on yourself. You stabbed MAGA in the back. And now, your biggest supporters are the Washington parasitical filth who held their noses in your presence and sulked at your successes. That is, until you threw in your lot with them, against us. You went into the swamp to drain it. And it has swallowed you. You went to slay Leviathan, and have come back as its pet. Two things make a man respectable. The first is telling the truth. We recognize your values were formed in Manhattan, and aren't exactly the same as ours. We know you cross lines we wouldn't in the truth-telling department. But until now, we could rationalize it all away by just saying, "It's a part of his negotiation." Or, "Deceit is acceptable in war." God knows, you've been in it. But this is different. You've now lied to US. But the second thing that makes a man respectable is loyalty to the people who are loyal to him. And that's where you've made a tragic mistake in how you've treated these people, and more, like MTG. Each one of them has disagreed with your decision to break your promises to us. But they've all been loyal to you, even though your pride won't let you see it. They've prayed for your success, vouched for your accomplishments, and kept the wolves off your back day-in, day-out, despite their disagreements. And each one can look you in the eye and ask you the same question as the Apostle Paul, "Have I become your enemy, by telling you the truth?" Turn back, Mr. President. While you can. Because right now, you act as though you can usurp the authority of God, and God will not be mocked. He's cast down kings before, and the writing is on the wall. Mene. Mene. Tekel. Parsin. Numbered. Numbered. Divided. Conquered.

Ender's Game author Orson Scott Card on the problems with how religion is portrayed in current fantasy and science fiction: "In our culture, intellectuals have become so uniformly a-religious or anti-religious that our fiction, with few exceptions, depicts religious people in only two ways: the followers are ignorant and stupid and easily fooled, and the leaders are exploitative and cynical, manipulating others' faith for their private benefit. I know some people who fit those descriptions. But they are in a tiny minority. Most religious people I know are smart, well-educated, independent-minded, stubborn, honest, and generous -- at least as much so as the average intellectual, and usually more. The hostility toward religion among American intellectuals arises, I think, from a clear awareness that it was against a publicly religious culture that their own culture rebelled. Now that rebellion is completely successful in terms of capturing control of all the public instruments of transmission of culture -- the universities, the media, and the literature and art -- but it has become such a shibboleth of intellectual life to snipe at religion that, like the aging "revolutionaries" of the old Soviet Union, they mindlessly continue to "rebel" in order to defend their tight grip on the establishment. Indeed, those intellectuals are the establishment. And what was once a daring and rebellious stance is now just another example of lockstep conformists mindlessly echoing ideas that they haven't examined. That's when contemporary fiction mentions religion at all. Most of the time, in and out of speculative fiction, religion simply doesn't exist. Characters don't believe in God or even think about believing in God. Nobody talks about religion. Nobody belongs to any kind of church. Religion simply doesn't exist. ... This is, I think, a serious lapse, a dishonesty in our contemporary literature. It is most seriously dishonest because in fact, even the supposedly a-religious intellectuals behave exactly as religious people always have. That is, the behavioral and cultural patterns that we have always associated with religions are indistinguishable, except by vocabulary, from the behavioral and cultural patterns of the a-religious intellectuals. They band together with fellow believers, feel sorry for or hostile toward unbelievers, immediately punish heretics -- intellectuals who, having once been accepted in the 'faith,' dare to question its premises -- anoint their priests and theologians (psychologists and therapists being their ministers, scientists and, more usually, science popularizers being their doctors of atheology), and insist on their absolute right to put forth their religious ideas with public funding and the authority of the state behind them, while doing their utmost to silence or marginalize the beliefs of others. Most fiction has become, in short, an instrument of propaganda for the established religion of our time, which differs from other religions only in the particular content of the faith and the vocabulary used to describe it. Naturally, the true believers are sure that the real difference is that their beliefs are objectively true. But then, true believers have always believed that. This is not what distinguishes them from other established religions, but rather what makes them fundamentally identical to them. The honest depicter of human life will include the religious aspect of that life. This is not to say that stories need to be about religion, any more than stories about our contemporary culture need to be about cars. But the cars need to be present, at least by implication, and if a character doesn't know how to drive, we'd need to know why." Is this why Hollywood stopped adapting his books into films?

On this day in 1865, Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant. Lee showed up dressed in his best, looking like a dignified gentleman. Grant was covered in mud after riding all morning. Before anything was signed, the two men spoke about their shared service in the Mexican War -- a reminder that Confederates and Union soldiers were nonetheless countrymen tied by mystic chords of memory. Grant did not create terms of surrender to humiliate the South. Grant and Lincoln understood that to unify the nation, you could not imprison half of it. Confederates were allowed to keep their sidearms and personal horses. When Grant learned that Lee's men were quite literally starving after having not eaten for days, he ordered 25,000 rations sent to them immediately. Lee said this would have "a very happy effect" on his men. When Lee rode away after signing terms of surrender, Union soldiers cheered. Grant forced them to stop, reminding Union soldiers that Confederates were "now our countrymen" and there would be no cheering over their downfall. (In fact, days later when actual ceremonial surrender occurred, Union Gen. Josh Chamberlain reportedly ordered his men to salute passing Confederates as a sign of respect) Lee also worked diligently to stop Confederates from waging guerrilla warfare, encouraging them to set their arms aside and return home and in peace. He was a titan in his own right. If the spirit of 1865 had been driven by the urge to shame and punish, the Union would not have lasted. So many people today misunderstand that and as such, they try to rewrite America history. God Bless America.

@megbasham If you care what your “fellow Catholic citizen” think. Then you SHOULD care about what the Pope thinks. This is such a clueless post, it’s actually astonishing.

I am not trying to make my Catholic friends, who I love, angry with this statement. But this entire episode is starting to explain to me why so many Americans were concerned about a Catholic president for so long. I have no interest in Rome trying to dictate American policy. And if it continues to loudly make its opinions heard on our foreign policy, I believe they’re going to find a lot of American Protestants feeling a lot less ecumenical than we have been in the more recent past.

There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild. He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed. When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them. Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate. The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions. Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement. The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean. That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.

When I was building spacecraft, one of our engineers would stand behind us while we were laying wire harnesses and read from the Bible. We would sometimes pray before a large operation. He brought his Bible into the cleanroom and privately prayed over a vehicle before we sent it into test. I'm pretty sure he prayed over the Orion that is being flown on Artemis II as well. The Orion team was just as religious, if not more religious, than we were. We are "the science" and we're glad Astronaut Glover is as faithful as us.

@Holden_Culotta This is warped theology and simply wrong. If you want to actually understand Demons, listen to those who deal with facing them all the time. Catholic Exorcists. Tucker Carlson's interview with Fr. Ripperger is a good start.

“Demons are the disembodied spirits of dead Nephilim.” “God cursed them.” “Their spirits are forced to wander the Earth.” “But they have all the desires of the flesh.” “So they possess human beings in order to satiate these desires.” Timothy Alberino just revealed how the Book of Enoch tells us exactly what demons really are with Jesse Michels: “When the giants destroy themselves in this fratricidal war, they’re cursed.” “God puts a curse on them because they’re not fully of their celestial fathers, the Watchers, and they’re not fully of their human mothers.” “They’re unsanctioned sentient beings.” “So they’re cursed.” “When they die … their spirits are now going to be forced to wander the Earth as disembodied wraiths.” “They’re gonna have all of the desires of the flesh.” “They’re gonna be hungry, thirsty, presumably have all of the sexual impulses of the flesh.” “But without corporeal bodies through which to satiate these desires to satisfy them.” “That’s the curse.” “This is where you get the origin of demons.” “So what do these disembodied spirits do?” “They seek to inhabit human flesh.” “They possess human beings in order to satiate these desires.” “In the New Testament, you have Jesus of Nazareth and his disciples encountering people who are demon possessed.” “And they recognize who he is.” “Going back to the Book of Enoch, part of the curse was … this was gonna be your curse, to the spirits of the dead giants, until … the day of judgment.” “The legion of demons recognizes that Jesus is the great judge from the Oracles of Enoch.” “And knows that the time has not yet come for their final judgment.” “That comes directly from the Book of Enoch.” “So it’s just another illustration of how the Enochic traditions and themes are woven through the Old and New Testament.” @TimothyAlberino @AlchemyAmerican @AmericanALCHMY

The day begins in small voices calling your name, what more could the heart ask for?

🚨 BREAKING: Incredible moment as Artemis II pilot Victor Glover shares the Gospel mere MOMENTS before reaching the back side of the Moon, losing communication with Earth "Christ said, in response to what was the greatest command, that it was to love God with all that you are." 🙏🏻 "And he also, being a great teacher, said the second is equal to it, and that is to love your neighbor as yourself." "And so, as we prepare to go out of radio communication, we're still going to feel your love from Earth, and to all of you down there on earth and around earth, we love you from the moon." ❤️

Even the occultists recognize this truth. Éliphas Lévi wrote the same in 1868.
