@Josephkillinas @TimHarcoff @rawsalerts It’s packed with Pakistanis. They could fight as well as Iranians, and they get to start with a bunch or NATO tech.

[Boomer At Heart @Joehcq1]

@TimHarcoff @rawsalerts Only because we’ve decided we’re never actually invading anywhere ever again. But, your point stands. We suck at war.

[Boomer At Heart @Joehcq1]

@rawsalerts They should not be considered an ally.

If my @TheBabylonBee writers had pitched this as a joke, I would have rejected it for being too outlandish.

Artisan crafted versions of everything often made cheap and crappy by AI.

Prolific human-only spaces as we compete directly with the big corps leveraging LLMs by only sharing insights where the training data scrapers can’t hear us.

Return to in-person first because anything done digitally can be stolen for training by any one traitor in the group.

More air-gapped networks because LLMs make it too easy to hack anywhere there’s a connection.

In short, massive digital fragmentation because connection is made too risky by LLMs, both IP concerns and proliferation of smart hacking bots.

@Thatbrian @redeemed_zoomer What do you find disheartening? I read a bit, asked Grok to summarize it, I’m not seeing what would disappoint. Like, if the PCA is bound by the 1788 revision, the rest seems to follow quite naturally. What would you have hoped for?

[Boomer At Heart @Joehcq1]

No one minds multi-culturalism.

They hate moral relativism. It’s the moral relativism that excuses the British-Pakistani rape gangs, cheaters, scammers, poachers and polluters. The amoral parts of the cultures are what most of us actually like: ethnic formal attire, international food, different customs, we tend to find these interesting and enjoyable, even thought provoking and educational.

You don’t need a single culture, you just need consistent moral code and enforcement.

And of course, we can and should put nations who send immoral immigrants on the naughty list and become very slow to accept applicants from them, if any. But saying the problem is multiple cultures grants the moral relativist’s desire to reduce all morality to culture - social construct.

I’d be a lot more comfortable with biblical counseling if they didn’t adopt the form of psychological counselors. If scripture makes us all competent to counsel, then keep it looking like friendship. No sessions, no homework, it’s called talking to friends, mentors, etc.

The conflation recreates a special class of person and I fully agree, the impression of authority can be very misleading.

Not that I’d send anyone I cared about to your average psychologist either. Whatever they’ve been through, being catechized into a leftist view of themselves isn’t going to help.

@JimmyParker87 @calvingelical Strictly speaking Baptist theology agrees baptism is entry into the church, but the emphasis on the spiritual over physical church is so strong that most in my experience functionally discount baptism to the point it’s just something we should do because we’re told to.

[Boomer At Heart @Joehcq1]

@JimmyParker87 @calvingelical The sectarianness gets more pronounced when you consider that from the non-Baptist viewpoint, baptism is entry into the church, and so in not recognizing our baptisms, they’re not recognizing us as Christians.

Ironically, most baptists don’t care as much about baptism.

[Boomer At Heart @Joehcq1]

@JimmyParker87 @calvingelical Right, most Christian baptisms are done before profession of faith, and most by some sort of pouring or washing - not immersion.

I get baptists have to behave so based on their beliefs, but my point remains: they don’t recognize most Christian baptisms.

[Boomer At Heart @Joehcq1]

This isn’t true. See every pre-Christian civilization. See every post-Christian civilization. This maybe makes rational sense if you asked how best to deceive a Christian adjacent people, but it’s just not how it goes.

And this forgets the devil and fallen man love wickedness.

“If Satan took over Philadelphia, all the bars would be closed. Pornography banished. Pristine streets would be filled with tidy pedestrians who smiled at each other. There would be no swearing. The children would say, yes sir and no ma'am, and the churches would be full every Sunday where Christ is not preached.” - Michael Allen

@douglaswils @canonpress @bonhoefferchild I really want to see them start calling you effeminate. Like that’ll be the absolute funniest turn of events ever. Should be a great ecumenical laugh.

[Boomer At Heart @Joehcq1]

@GoyWoke @ostrachan I really can’t figure out what you’re trying to say.

[Boomer At Heart @Joehcq1]

@TheodoreBearza @SlowToWrite I’ve just learned this was a “non judicial” defrocking for Spangler. That - from a lay standpoint at least - leaves this a lot murkier.

Otherwise I’d say all the arguments from the confession and so on were had in court. Winds out of my sails - enjoy your day.

[Boomer At Heart @Joehcq1]

@spanglermt @ostrachan Sorry for saying the keys were turned - they weren’t. Now, they would be now, “we need a Protestant Hitler” and a whites-only church would be enough to be pressed to repent or be excommunicated, but you’re gone. And I can’t declare actions based on a hypothetical.

[Boomer At Heart @Joehcq1]

@spanglermt @ostrachan Non-judicial removal… what in the world. Defrocked for lack of requisite gifts… they didn’t actually excommunicate you. Well, I’m wrong then.

You’re still part of the church Catholic, and having founded your own, largely insulated from formal censure, excommunication, etc.

[Boomer At Heart @Joehcq1]

This is the cowardice of these supposedly “brutal heritage American”s (quote from his bio). Post and block so you have the final word.

[Boomer At Heart @Joehcq1]

@GoyWoke @ostrachan No, you seek the good and the prosperity - which yes, includes true religion - of the nation where God has placed you (see The Letter to The Exiles in Jeremiah).

A Christian Nation though is a second bride for Christ. He doesn’t want an extra. He died for just the church.
