@WomanDefiner It's the boundary between the pre-flood world and the post-flood world. The flood scoured the earth's crust and then dumped it all back on top. Hence the "Cambrian explosion" sitting directly on top

Someone must examine the redneck-landed gentry horseshoe theory. They're quite similar in many ways: love and ownership of land, disdain for trade and commercialism, honor, hunting, military tradition, rootedness, distrust of bureaucracy, and strong family ties.

A grand inherited estate and a simple Appalachian cabin. Both of these images invoke in many a sense of warmth, longing, security and comfort even though they represent opposite ends of the social & financial spectrum. Why?

Because they have more in common than you might think. 🧵

"He that loveth not, knoweth not God, for God is love. Love is at the center of our Orthodox faith, & at the center of being itself." - St Paisios of Mt Athos

@MrsMagdaBeard I wouldn't call these things not real, but I do agree that we shouldn't care about them. Christ defeated the fallen powers and principalities that upheld these things

[Fr. Daniel☦️ @Fragbaza]

Just as the Law governed the ancient Hebrews, philosophy guided the pagan intellect—clearing out error and polytheism—until humanity was ready to receive the ultimate teacher, Christ.

Historically, Eastern theologians didn't see Orthodoxy as a rival to philosophy, but as the true and highest philosophy.

While Greek philosophers speculated about the divine, Orthodox theology emphasized that direct, experiential communion with God (theosis) was the ultimate goal of wisdom.

Philosophers like Socrates and Plato were guided by the Logos in their pursuit of truth. Greek philosophy is viewed as a tutor that helped elevate the pagan mind above polytheism and prepared the ancient world for the coming of Christ.

St. Clement of Alexander

[Death to the World @dttwzine]

“Lord, we pray especially that among these [American] children, who are intelligent and athletic yet at the same time gullible and naive, some mystics or fools for Christ will someday emerge, those who will shatter all of Satan’s temples and penetrate with burning torches lit by the fire of the Holy Spirit the underground caves of Satanism, opening wide the gates of the hearts of all men to an encounter with Jesus Christ, because in this century of material overindulgence, America needs more fasting and prayer; she needs genuine saints who could revolutionize the entire universe toward new dimensions.

However, for all this to be accomplished, Lord, we pray You to bless America.”

—Archimandrite Roman Braga :: “Prayer for America” :: 1972

@PageauJonathan Lots of feminists-disguised-as-christians getting upset in these replies

[Thaddeus Patrick ☦️ @thaddeusthought]

This quote probably cant be shared enough. In any particular situation, prayer with acceptance of suffering is always when we know we are most on the side of Christ.

Not when we are correct, not when we fulfill the rules. When we are on the Cross with Christ.

My ARC speech is out. What do you think? Did I go too far?

This is helpful for all who would enter into life, on the narrow, winding road of the spiritual life in Christ:

Steven Spielberg says his new movie, Disclosure Day, about aliens will have Christians and people of faith second-guessing their own religion.

Spielberg says the movie will take the position of the Church.

"Is God our God only on this planet, or is God a God for every system where there's civilization?"

"That would mess up a lot of people."

@rob_mcrobberson What do you do for work?

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

The bird on the left was a commercial laying hen at 18 months old. The bird on the right is the same hen three months later. The difference is being let out of a cage.

Roughly 60% of US laying hens live in cages, about 180 million birds total. Globally, the majority of the world's 7 billion laying hens are caged. The hen in this photo is not an outlier, just is one of the rare ones who got out.

Same hen, different system.

@tando_me Why not monero? Honest question

[Ayden Cook @aydencook03]

@callebtc Honest question: why not monero? Because of the low adoption? Personally I'm starting to get sold on it.
