@thechosentv You guys understand how the 4th commandment works, right? It's not a good look to put something Jesus said with a picture of another person. It's hard enough to watch the show intentionally trying to keep things separate. Things like this muddy already dark waters.
My dear Wormwood,
You still think in terms of churches and arguments. That is why you fail. The churches can be left standing. What must be spoiled is the literature that taught the young to love the Enemy before they could define Him.
Narnia is one of the more irritating of those books. Children meet Aslan first as adventure and only later discover they have been handling Christ. That is dangerous. Direct attack only makes the stories more precious. So we do not ban them. We adapt them.
Give the Voice to a so-called celebrated actress. Leave the mane. Leave the pronouns. Then the thing that was a male Christ-supposition becomes a prestige performance. The story remains famous; the meaning becomes negotiable. In a generation the story will still be beloved, but the beloved thing will no longer be Lewis’s Lion. It will be the version that flatters the age.
That is how the Enemies literature is destroyed without the vulgarity of a bonfire. Keep the title. Change the sound. When the children hear Aslan, let them hear the present century speaking through Him. Once that habit is formed, the Enemies stories survive as brands. Their doctrine does not.
Do not call it persecution. Call it interpretation. The patients prefer that word, and it does our work admirably.
Your affectionate uncle,
SCREWTAPE
Is anyone else actively rooting for Pete Alonso NOT to hit a homerun against their favorite team at home????
Maybe instead rooting for our future HOF shortstop to hit his 300th homerun at home???
This fan base sucks.
@GoodFundies This is disingenuous. Nimmo was traded *for* Semien, but also (if not mainly) to open a slot for Benge. With Nimmo, the OF on opening day is Soto, Robert, Nimmo. Does Benge get to play? Yes, but only because Robert gets hurt, and if Nimmo is here, Ewing never gets the call.
@KnicksCentral dogshit take. You don't boo one of your up and coming pitchers in your home park for doing what he is supposed to do in favor of an opposing player - ever. It doesn't matter who it is. It's disgraceful.
Mets fans cheering louder for a guy who moved on than their own shortstop who is one home run away from 300 and one of the best infielders they’ve seen in YEARS - embarrassing, truly
@elonmusk should strongly consider bringing back the thumbs down button. It would increase engagement. Right now I have no choice but to scroll by moronic posts and ignore them. I refuse to get rage baited.
@kurt13warner Kurt. I love you, man. Loved your time in NY and your career overall. Log off, brother. These clowns will always have something to say. Post and ghost baby. It's the only way to stay sane.
