Episode 16 is out now! Returning guest @jchasedavis came on the pod to discuss his new book, “Offensive Christianity,” and Matthew 5:5. The podcast covers Meekness, why the world wants Men to be weak (and how to resist this), what it means to inherit the earth, and much more…
Exodus 2:16-22
“Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock. And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day? And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock. And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread. And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter. And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.”
Christians need to be honest about the fact that the portrayal of God in the Old Testament is frequently straight up incorrect, as demonstrated in this abominable passage. The OT is a record of a people moving towards an understanding of God but it is neither historically nor theologically infallible
@AntiNrx Searched their profile for “Calvin” and the usual moral preening came up, as well as the bonus Paul denunciation and Plato/Calvin connection. Like agreeing with Cal Crucis’ analysis but with the opposite value judgements lol
The law is the standard of perfection, a manual for what it takes to live on what God calls his Holy Mountain; a recapitulation of the Edenic mandate. Handwringing about the OT is always a sign of a feeble stomach and weak mind.

Probability of winning the Powerball is 1 in 292.2 Million. So probability of winning 5 times is 1 in 2.1 Trillion. Which is close enough to a probability of 10^-12 for anybody.
Probability for Spencer Pratt. Given his ~ 29% of open votes, and assuming 24,000 mail ballots would have the same breakdown, the chance of 0 Pratt votes is 10^-3720.
That's about 439 Powerball wins in a row.

America is a grand estate that has been left in tatters— its property fence is broken, there are holes in the roof of its mansion, vagrants have looted the goods once held inside— that we have inherited. If we are to be good stewards of its grounds, then we must find some way to restore its glory, because it will be passed down afterword whether we like it or not. For now, the title is under our name.
