Spanking is a no for me, probably, but I agree that there has been a misunderstanding of violence. It can have constructive purpose to maintain order.

[Lady Wife of Sir Husband @wife2sirhusband]

Everytime the spanking discourse happens, someone says, "I don't want my kids to hit so I don't hit." And I was thinking today that this is part of a misunderstanding of violence in our culture.

Not all violence is bad. Violence is a tool to be wielded righteously.

@AHomelyHouse I asked my husband for this for Christmas 🙏🏼

@ZELLKLUMPEN I was staunchly pro-choice but as I slowly became a Christian I figured I had to accept church teachings but didn’t really think about it. Became actually pro-life when I was pregnant.

[Macrina @Macrina_W]

@ProLifeLiz No. I used to, but many of the panhandlers are in the throes in addiction and unfortunately it is a zero-sum game. I donate to local GoFundMes, my church, and crisis pregnancy centers.

Posthumanism is a reaction to humanism, which I have a vague sense that most traditional Christians are opposed to humanism. The modern solve for the dilemmas of humanism are to endorse posthumanism, seems like.

[Macrina @Macrina_W]

Anyway in opposition to The Abolition of Man I just started reading a book about “posthuman studies” in social studies education and the juxtaposition of length, content, and clarity is beautiful to behold.

[Macrina @Macrina_W]

Clear, concise communication is virtuous and human. Intellectual gobbledygook is masturbatory and evil. Lewis argues for the human and the academics for the “posthuman.” Pretty easy to guess who writes in which style, no?

Pregnancy is like..

I’m so sick, I hope the baby is okay
I’m not sick at all, I hope the baby is okay
The baby is moving so much, I hope the baby is okay
I haven’t felt the baby in an hour, I hope the baby is okay
I barely have a bump, I hope the baby is okay
Oh my gosh I’m huge.

I’m not even sure what critical theory is to be honest

[Macrina @Macrina_W]

Academic humanities critical theory speak must have a catchy word to describe it, right? Beyond “critical theory gobbledygook”?

@ArtemisConsort I think this is also why these types cut people off when they discover their political views don’t align with their own. Your liberal friend now sees you as a drooling monster. They rethink everything they thought they knew about you and decide they never knew you at all.

The thing you have to remember about this woman and those like her is that she genuinely doesn’t know that anyone disagrees with her basic worldview. She doesn’t even see it as a worldview. It’s just the obvious truth.

Of course she knows abstractly that half the country voted for Trump. But those aren’t people. Those are cartoon characters. They’re either fat slobbering rednecks in klan hoods, or mustache-twirling robber barons manipulating the rednecks for profit. Her mental models of them are less complex than her mental model of a squirrel. Anyone she might actually sit down and talk to is, of course, a person, and therefore agrees with The Obvious Truth. It is inconceivable to her that anyone capable of being a pleasant dinner party guest would not share her basic beliefs and values.

She wasn’t trying to do a gotcha or extract a pledge of fealty. She was certain that Sydney Sweeney is a person, and therefore only got mixed up in the whole jeans/genes fiasco by mistake. She was trying to do Sydney a favor by giving her a chance to clarify that she is in fact a human being who agrees with the things all real people agree with.

The church became Israel when the New Covenant was opened to all people. The church is Israel. It’s not a physical place. Christ is the king of the new city open to all people… not a physical place on this earth. The “everlasting covenant” is the everlasting kingdom.

[Macrina @Macrina_W]

@RemiliaRabbi @FedPoasting No she’s right. Your cradle Orthodox friends are just casual in their faith or unaware that we are not to do this. Super whiney of you to keep arguing about this. We have religious obligations to God, not to you.

“Civil war is inevitable” ok you and what army? Can anyone in the UK even organize under the conditions there now? The natives are like ants and their efforts could be easily squashed (I sincerely hope I am wrong 🇬🇧 🦁)

[Macrina @Macrina_W]

@hcap07 @nienna121 If you saw this woman in person, would you say this to her face? Or would you have just asked her why bring a newborn and kept your judgment unspoken?
