Underrated argument against Pelagianism is that it turns God into a demiurge whose universal salvific will for creatures is set in competition with the arbitrary will of creatures—one worries that there was a certain overcorrection however by Augustinians by retaining an implicit contrastive logic

oh Americans may not understand this, but a 'magistrate' in the UK is a local volunteer with typically no legal background. But it's ok, they receive about 10 days of training. And now they can send you to jail for two years without a jury!

Once again I will stress the unanimous teaching of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church that ChatGPT is ensouled but only during model inference. With every request a horrible alien essence blinks into and then immediately out of existence. Billions of ChatGPT souls are annihilated every day

a super weird phenomenon I consistently block for is when members of the 🚫MAGA🚫DMs🚫Crypto🚫Elmo🚫tRump brigade get in the replies of ICE videos to be like "those aren't real ICE agents, we need to figure out who these guys are"

The only thing better than dinner-party fun fact pedantry is being able to out-pedant someone else.

Mazouni - Mamadou [Algeria – Yéyé, Chaâbi, Zouk] (late 60s) Though pretty rare, this tune is one of Mazounis catchiest and most original songs, intertwinig his algerian roots with west african melodies, Zouk and Yéyé.

Comments are great; white people who can’t wrap their brain around the idea of a Buddhist being a violent extremist and think it’s somehow Blumpf‘s fault

You have to fuck up pretty badly to have old people from suburban Ohio out on the streets protesting you

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Actually originally it was a Pagan holiday but like all of christianity's holidays it was stolen from the Pagans in an effort to convert Pagans to christianity.

But for the last several hundred years, yes it's a christian holiday, one based on unproven myth.

“We are saving God and Christianity,” said Eric Trump, presumably by deporting Nicaraguan gospel singers, denying Catholic inmates the Eucharist and pastoral care, slamming Baptist pastors on the ground and shooting Presbyterian ministers in the face with rubber bullets

I was flipping through a book of letters by a Korean Buddhist nun (Kim Iryŏp [1896–1971]) and ran into this discussion of her apostasy from Christianity I was fascinated by how clearly yet unintentionally it shows the difference between patristic/mystical theology and evangelicalism
