@MattWhitmanTMBH in today’s TMBH podcast, your description of plunder in the ancient world reminded me of the Borg in Star Trek: “We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.”
@CalebBMcMurtrey Great Britain isn’t as restrictive (yet) as Thailand. The Thai lèse majesté laws can get you thrown into prison for being disrespectful to the king.
@MattWhitmanTMBH Great song. It’s originally by Annie Herring of 2nd Chapter of Acts, but Keith Green’s recording is the one I remember best. It brings back a lot of good memories of my college years back in the early ‘80s when I first started listening to Contemporary Christian Music.
I just saw a fly in the house.
It’s January. Flies aren’t supposed to be out in January. Its very existence is an aberration.
If I have an opportunity to do so, I shall slay it mercilessly. Thus I shall restore order to the universe (at least my little part of it).
@Jonnytron Everyone has both good ideas and bad ideas. They don’t reflect on the quality or value of you as a person. I know…easy for me to say, but it is true.
If we respond to the sinful behavior of unbelievers with contempt toward them, a red flag should go up; bells and whistles should sound an alarm, for it means we are thinking of the lost not as needing salvation, but as needing to act worthy of salvation.
