Primitive Christianity Revived

@TPatbat Sometimes it can exacerbate things

Late-night Whataburger didn’t assuage my impending depression 😭

This is witchcraft but not pumping your dead body full of chemical preservatives and then sealing it away in a metal box?

The way I wish to be buried

@AdamStiebing @zachdenobrega I don’t believe he’d have the Vader suit.

@zachdenobrega Your life must be so sad… you can’t imagine any alternative endings or What If? Comics/movies? 🙁🙄

What could have been!

@firo369 I need it in English

「破戒と男色の仏教史」 短い本だったので、2週間ほどで読めました。 これは男色を扱った本というより、僧侶の破戒と戒律復興運動を扱った本だと思った。 この問題を論じる前提において、主に中世の寺院では、男色が日常化していた事実を語る必要があるからだ。 言うまでも無く、僧侶の不淫戒は、男色も女色も関係なく禁止されている。 稚児に関して言えば、この本の初版が出た当時、稚児灌頂の文献が公開されておらず、今東光和尚の小説「稚児」に頼らざるを得なかった。 同性愛に偏見を持たない所は、さすが！　と思ったが、和尚の用いた資料は少々イレギュラーな代物で、誤解を招いた。 この改訂増補版では、そこも考慮にいれているが、この本の主題ではない。 戒律というのは、仏教の中でも、人気の無い分野だ。 例えば鑑真は、義務教育の本にも出てくるが、なぜ彼が重要なのかを知ってる人は少ない。 それはさておき、釈尊は性欲は最大最強の煩悩と言い、もしこんな強烈な煩悩が、他にもう１つでもあったら、誰も解脱できなくなるだろう、と言った。 犬の訓練のプロいわく、犬は食欲その他は制御できる。しかし性欲だけは絶対に制御できないと言う。 要するに動物の本能なのだ。 瀬戸内寂聴さんは受戒の時に、「絶対守れそうも無いと思った戒律」として、不淫戒を選び、これを生涯にわたって守り抜いた。 性というのは、非常に業が深いのである。 #不淫戒　#戒律　#破戒

How many more pieces of evidence do you need that the powers that be are in league with Satan?

This government is full of evil fucks

@BeguinePilled I’m interested now who is the publisher?

Omg the one i just bought (left) is reconstructionist that's so cool. And i love how they keep genesis as poetic as the original Hebrew. "the earth being unformed and void, with darkness over the surface of the deep and a wind from God sweeping over the water"

“I just cut my useless lawn yesterday because it was becoming an eyesore. I’d better water it today so that it continues to grow and become a useless eyesore.”

@AeternalForest Would Bring Her back count?

Any good psychological horror or thriller recommendations? My gf and I are running out of stuff to watch.

@BeguinePilled Aww you’re so pretty

Favorite picture of me of all time. Me with (to me) the best pastors in the world [they converted me through their kindness and welcomingness]

@_vandul He’s just another boomer brained doofus

the Portland balloon retard known as ‘blksmth’ striked me on insta bcs I posted this. He copyright strikes anyone who dares to tape letter balloons to the wall. He doesn’t make the balloons. He buys them at the fucking store. Dudes a millennial hack and an overall piece of shit.

@DawsonSWilliams Did you really peel a golden kiwi?

Many philosopher’s diets suffer from malnutrition.

@BradWarner Bob Dylan needs to be forgotten.

As a Buddhist author I vow never to quote Bob Dylan in a book ever again. Far too many Buddhist authors think it’s groovy to quote Dylan. It’s not. It’s annoying. We all should stop.

@punicist I so wish I could learn more about them and read their holy book.

Instagram Reels/Social Media are an anthropological gold mine, exhibit B. My ancestors would have never even heard of Sabaeans in Iraq but now I get to watch a 30 seconds video of how they pray because the Algorithm (correctly) thought I’d be interested in it.

@walletcheck I hate that he uses real Mylar balloons which are fucking horrible for the environment. What’s his @ ?

i caught Portland’s most reviled vandal in the act of defacing our fine walls
