@MacDog850 @JayDyer @redeemed_zoomer The problem is the arbitrary ecclesiology created by the protestant reformation. The fact that there is no uniformity in salvific dogmas defeats the idea that it can be the true church

@JayDyer @redeemed_zoomer There’s just no way you think that all Protestants don’t believe in real presence or baptismal regeneration

There is nothing that the Church Fathers unanimously agreed on that the Protestant Confessions do not also teach

@DracoReformans Yeah, just go to business church and get your limited edition "Pastor Jim Presents: Muh Bible" travel mug. Don't forget to hit the coffee bar on the way out!

To be deep in the Scriptures is to cease to be Roman Catholic or eastern orthodox

@Puzarfer @dannyphiltalk Apply that same logic to the OP

@EtrustMatthew @dannyphiltalk If its not braindead, then one who runs the argument should be able to support it and demonstrate it without any feedback and without asking any questions.

I don’t think violence is good. The professor shouldn’t have behaved that way toward Jay, but TAG is so braindead I’d be embarrassed by anyone in my church running it.

@poperespecter1 Again, you're entitled to your opinion but the world can see the catholic church for what it is today. It's not in a position to judge Orthodoxy, to put it lightly.

@EtrustMatthew You guys literally canonized almost every Byzantine emperor no matter how debauched so long as they were not open heretics. You can sit this one out.

Seraphim Rose hated Catholics, said we're going to hell, and trashed our saints. He also started a monastery where repeated child sexual abuse took place and he was best friends with the gay pedo who did it. Why do so many Catholics want me to not warn people about his writings?

@PiusGroyper @poperespecter1 It has nothing to do with him and everything to do with the institution that canonized him. It's a blazing neon sign that screams "the catholic church is form without substance".

@EtrustMatthew @poperespecter1 I’m not big on the st. carlo hype, but this is a crazy miss. like you don’t like that he was a kid or something?

@poperespecter1 You're entitled to your opinions about Seraphim Rose, but it's worth pointing out the substance of your own "church" on matters of canonization when weighing it.

@poperespecter1 He was a fifteen year old who died of leukemia. I'm sure he was a decent kid, but anyone with any discernment can see what a joke it is to canonize him as a saint. Compare him to St. Gabriel of Georgia, St. Paisos of Athos, or St. Porphyrios of Kavsokolyvia.

@sola_chad If you find yourself being literally crucified next to Jesus Christ, you can probably base your salvific certitude on that

The thief on the cross might be my favorite salvation story in the whole Bible. · Never fasted · Never baptized · Never took communion · Never recognized a Pope · Never prayed the the rosary · Never performed any works That man was saved by faith alone.

@Timcast Utterly fascinating behavior Tim. The lack of self awareness should be studied

Ya know what people dont say enough on here? "I like the jews" Its all goyim this and goyim that Well I think the jews are just swell

@DPGBehler And learn/read the history behind the original objections and the counterclaims of the Church, you cannot stay protestant. All of these issues have been deliberated and settled, some for over a thousand years.

@DPGBehler Every single protestant without fail (myself included prior to conversion) has the same major objections. Icons, the Mother of God, and the Saints. Once you study the theology behind each without the forgone assumption that they're all wrong from the outset

Icon veneration will always keep me out of the EO and the RCC.

@Brad76_ @thegabriel72 What happens when the first punch he throws lands on your chin, and you get knocked out cold, and he stomps on your head until you die? There's no magic barrier that prevents fist-to-cuffs from becoming murder. I don't think the shooting was justified, btw.

Going to jail for a long while. Or do you think this is a self defense?

@raging_psyop @BasedRacist__ @megs_io @Furbeti The blackmail narrative is the forward facing release valve narrative that's being pushed. The reality is ostensibly much darker. Most of the people implicated in the Epstein debacle didn't need to be blackmailed. They were gleefully engaged in sick things.

@BasedRacist__ @megs_io @Furbeti Also, the conspiracy with epstein was that he was tricking powerful elites into having what they thought was adult, consensual sex with seemingly of-age girls for the purpose of blackmailing them. Not that he was a cannibal drinking baby blood with Hillary Clinton, you big retard

how do we deal with the frozen white tuna

@elonmusk This is retarded lol

Civilization on the Moon!

@jaydyer The saddest thing about my parent's generation was the giddy excitement and anticipation they had for..... the commercials.

The Superhole is faken gay. Come listen to my livestream where we see how the Superhole was made fakengay.

Most people still imagine “surveillance” as a detective following someone down a street. That picture is obsolete. Modern policing increasingly works like this: a platform ingests past arrests, calls for service, plates, faces, devices, and social ties. It outputs a list—places to patrol, people to stop, names to “check on.” The officer sees a prompt. The prompt becomes contact. Contact becomes record. Record becomes reinforcement. The loop tightens. And the judiciary keeps asking the wrong question: “Was there a trespass?” “Did you expose the information to a third party?” “Was there a single prolonged tracking event?” Those questions are about methods. AI surveillance is about capabilities. Capabilities matter because they change the constitutional stakes. A single camera is one thing. A city-wide mesh of cameras plus facial recognition plus brokered location data plus machine inference is another. At that point, you’ve built a general-purpose apparatus of population monitoring. The Founders had a word for generalised search power. They wrote an amendment against it. Carpenter cracked the door open by recognising that long-term digital tracking reveals the “privacies of life.” But Carpenter didn’t answer the larger question: what happens when the state doesn’t merely learn what you did—it predicts what you’ll do, and grades you accordingly? The paper I’ve written argues for a doctrine that matches the actual threat: treat surveillance as constitutionally significant when it (1) generates deep inferences beyond raw data, (2) aggregates across domains and time, and (3) chills the exercise of basic freedoms. That’s not theory. That’s a rule a court can apply. The future isn’t “more surveillance.” It’s surveillance that pretends to be analysis, and analysis that pretends to be law. If you don’t draw lines now, you won’t like the lines the machines draw later.

The Algorithm Is Watching: How AI Surveillance Is Gutting the Fourth Amendment The Fourth Amendment is being hollowed out, not by a constitutional amendment, but by procurement contracts and “data partnerships” no judge ever sees. Traditional surveillance collects facts. Algorithmic surveillance manufactures facts. It takes scraps—location pings, licence-plate scans, shopping data, social graphs—and produces inferences: who you are, what you believe, what you’ll do next. That’s not “observation.” It’s prediction by machine, wrapped in the language of policing. The old doctrines don’t fit. “Reasonable expectation of privacy” collapses when “reasonable” is defined by whatever government already does. The third-party doctrine becomes a constitutional shredder when every modern action routes through a service provider. And Carpenter—important as it is—was a narrow bridge over a widening chasm. The core problem is this: the law still treats surveillance as if it is a discrete act at a discrete moment. AI surveillance is continuous, aggregated, and inferential. It is a system—and systems don’t leave the tidy footprints that existing Fourth Amendment case law was built to track. I’ve written a full law review article for the Washington and Lee Law Review setting out a workable framework courts can actually apply: assess AI surveillance by inferential depth, aggregative scope, and autonomy impact (the chilling of speech, association, and political life). That is the only way to convert “privacy” from a nostalgic slogan into a justiciable boundary. If you care about warrants meaning something in a world of sensors, brokers, and prediction engines, this is the fight. The technology won’t pause while the doctrine catches its breath. open.substack.com/pub/singulargr…

@redeemed_zoomer I had no idea you were straight, glory to God

My wife is very traditional Part of that means she isn't constantly posting online about how "trad" she is

@kgcarney When I hear it among non Christians I like to think that it's a way for their heart to cry out to the Lord when they have no other way to do it. Their heart knows they're in need of God, but the only way it can manifest is through blasphemy.

Yall. Please stop using it. It is a mortal sin. It is soo soo bad for your soul to say such a vulgar term with our Lord’s name. It genuinely feels like a knife in my chest when I read it or even see the abbreviation. Please. Please stop.
