I don't have the data to back this up, but my gut feeling is that the kind of people who say this are 5× more likely to end up on @sircalebhammer's show than the average American
I really don’t understand true greed. If I was worth $1 trillion, you’d have to physically stop me from solving as many of the world’s problems as possible. Everyone would have a home, food on the table, proper healthcare, happiness. I just don’t get it.

When you're KJV only but also a papist
Your friendly reminder that prayer is not only directed to God in the Bible.

I'm a romantic at heart, I suppose
While I obviously love being closest to Lancelot Andrewes, I really adore the little map charting where we are in the constellation of theological stars.

Please make this somehow become reality so we can get rid of The Last Jedi
Choose one…

Remember discernment blogs? They exist here too but have taken the form of accounts whose names are usually some sort of phrase like "Righteous arm of the Almighty" or "the One who cries out in the wilderness" and as a rule they are always anonymous

Literally all Christians in history were not ignoring the Bible
If you think Jesus is God, then you’re ignoring the Bible.

If you haven't checked out our issue on Boethius, you're missing out! These are some of my favorite articles we've ever published.
God’s simplicity, His fullness with Himself, means that only he can satiate the soul, because whatever lies we tell ourselves, every other source of identity will eventually prove false. -Anthony G. Cirilla New issue of Credo mag on Boethius is out credomag.com/?p=47817

This guy gave a 1 star rating but wrote a 5 star review
Friend spotted this review of Florida Catholic parish that his boys are attending Vacation Bible School at. He notes: "Apparently there is singing and hand holding, leading to attendance and traffic jams."

Is the wrath to come coming from Satan?
Protestants believe God saves us from Himself. Orthodox believe God saves us from Satan.

If we had taken a genetic test when my wife was pregnant with him, it would have shown he had an ultra rare chromosomal abnormality. One that could cause failure-to-thrive, growth problems. He might never talk, never walk, never leave home. It’s impossible to tell how it’ll affect him His first night alive his heart stopped and his oxygen levels dropped. They told us he essentially died. We bought an oxygen monitor to go home with. At the time we didn’t know he had any other issues. We wouldn’t know for nearly a year and a half. When we did it took a while for it to set in that all the dreams and hopes we had for him were dead. But he, he was alive. He was with us. He is still our wonderful boy, just now with extra struggles. His immune system struggles more than the rest. At 6yrs old he’s the size of a 3yr old. He didn’t walk until he was 3-4. He’s only semi-verbal and still not potty trained. We’ve had him in every form of therapy available. Even a routine dental procedure requires anesthesia which local dentists won’t do due to his condition. Those are his struggles. They’re real. They’re difficult. If we’d done the testing back then, the doctor would likely have offered killing him in utero as the solution to his and our “problems.” But his life doesn’t begin or end with his problems and struggles. It begins with his life. His incredible, God-given life. His beautiful smile, his bubbling laugh, the way his crimson curls bounce as he runs around the yard after his little sister or his brother. It’s in his love for his siblings, and their love for him. It’s in his kind heart and thoughtfulness and desire to help with anything he can, even if it means he puts dishes in the trash by accident. He’s my little buddy, follows me around like a shadow and his favorite thing is to snuggle up with me when I’m sitting on the couch playing a game. He isn’t a burden on our lives. He’s not an inconvenience. He’s a blessing who enriches every single part of all of our lives Every day I’m beyond grateful that God gave me my little boy.
I love this little man so much

Finally, a terrible district judge ruling that has nothing to do with the Trump administration
You know it’s bad when every voice in college football is saying the same thing.

These accounts might be anonymous to us, but not before God
It is really okay to just abort.

The church is very famously charged with guarding the faith and right worship of God
"YoU wOrShIp ThE wRoNg JeSuS!" That's not for you to decide. You are not the gatekeeper of Christ or how anyone worships him.

When you don't know how to play chess
The Book of Revelation says not to add to the Bible. Sorry creedal Christians, but the Nicene Creed is invalid. Checkmate. 😏

Should we have sympathy for a man "grieving the loss of his wife" whom he murdered in cold blood? You people have to pretend there is no moral agency involved in abortion so you can make the actual criminals the victims.
the way people are talking about this situation is honestly disgusting… you can believe whatever you believe, but using someone else’s grief as a chance to publicly shame, mock and dehumanize them is heartless. this was not some easy, careless decision made for the internet to pick apart this family is grieving. a baby is gone and people who know nothing about their reality are acting like hate is proof of morality you don’t have to agree with someone’s choice to recognize that they’re still human, still hurting, and still the ones who have to live with this for the rest of their lives compassion should not be conditional on whether someone made the decision you would have made

Pelagius, my guy, how are you still alive? That was like 1600 years ago
If God created a standard for us that was impossible to meet, then commanded us to keep it, then said we would be punished for breaking it That would make him an unholy and unrighteous judge. Especially, since he said it isn’t too difficult to observe. Is that your “god”?

There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him.

For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach. - The Return of the King

Don't let the pro-abortion lie win: Life is fundamentally good. Life is worth living through all the suffering. It is only a passing thing, this shadow. For these light momentary afflictions are preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison.

Being a good person would be the first quality that comes to mind
What quality does Jesus have that Muhammad doesn’t have? None. Both are prophets who brought the message of one God. Simple.
Community note
Historical religious sources do not describe Jesus Muhammad as similar. Records portray Jesus as a chaste preacher, religious teacher, while Muhammad is documented as political leader, military commander. differences reflected in primary sources mainstream history. britannica.com/biography/Jesus britannica.com/biography/Muha… bbc.co.uk/religion/relig…
