@LyingWrongAgain MakeLyin... you're not understanding the core of my question.... both Jupiter and Venus required an "environment" to become the planet Jupiter and Venus. My point has to do with the "environment" not having a cause. For example, how does the singularity have it's "environment"?

This is the America I Know and Love

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

I mentioned that my garage door was making a sound.

An American immediately said, "I got a guy."

He did not ask what the sound was. He did not ask what kind of door. He produced a guy on the basis of the word garage.

I asked who the guy was.

He said, "Just a guy."

He did not have a company name. He had a first name and a phone number in his phone saved as "Mike Garage."

That is the contact name. Mike Garage. As though Garage is his surname. As though there is a family.

I asked how he found this guy.

"My brother-in-law used him."

I asked if the brother-in-law was satisfied.

He thought about it. Then he said, "He's still standing."

The house is still standing. That is the entire review.

Inside I said: THEY DO NOT KEEP RECORDS. THEY KEEP LOYALTIES.

I called Mike Garage. He answered from inside a vehicle. There was wind. He said he could come Tuesday between eleven and four.

Between eleven and four. A window of five hours. In my country this would be a scandal. Here it is generous. He gave me a window at all. Some guys do not give you a window. Some guys say "Tuesday" and that is the whole appointment.

He came at 1:40.

He fixed it in twenty minutes. He charged me less than I expected and he did not take a card, only cash or an app I had never heard of.

Before leaving he looked at my water heater, which I had not mentioned, and said, "That's gonna go."

I asked when.

"Couple years."

I asked what I should do.

He said, "I'll give you a guy."

He gave me a guy. Mike Garage has a guy. The guy has a guy. There is a network beneath this country made entirely of men named after their function, and none of them advertise, and all of them are busy.

Inside I said: THERE IS A SECOND NATION HERE. IT HAS NO SIGNS. IT IS ENTERED ONLY BY INTRODUCTION.

I have been given four guys since.

I have a guy for trees.

I did not know I needed a guy for trees.

I have trees now, apparently. They are my responsibility. A man named Rick told me so and then left.

This gentleman is stuck on the side of the road for more than 1 hour trying to get his stuck wheel off of his car. He said another man stopped by but they didn't get have any luck getting it off the vehicle. I'm not a very big person but I have few tricks in mind. Luckily, I did manage to help get his wheel off and get him back on the road. #chicago #mobilemechanic #cookcounty

@JCSamplesEph6 @JohnnyTani3 I had to purchase a verification, because it wouldn't let me upload a video of this length. I recorded it last night and attempted multiple times today. Come to find out, X limits upload lengths and limits the visibility of posts.

[Fr. Daniel☦️ @Fragbaza]

No matter what situation you face, follow the example of the Apostle Peter, who called out to Christ to save him on the water. It is vital to recognize your Helper and Saviour. Peter didn’t look to his fellow disciples for help; he looked to Christ. Similarly, we shouldn't place our hope in people. Instead, we should always call out to Christ first as our primary source of help. Before going into surgery, call out to Christ! Before traveling, sleeping, eating, or working, make Christ your first line of contact. As Scripture says: "Call upon me and I will answer you."

[Wolfgang @Zalmoxis7534]

“Orthodoxy without monasticism is not whole. Monasticism, from the beginning, was in the structure of the Church, even from the Old Testament: Elijah, Elisha, John the Baptist (who is the patron of monasticism), Saint Paul, Saint John the Theologian, and so on, the Virgin Mary. Monasticism was not organized in buildings and with an abbot or igumenos, no, but it was always in the structure of the Church. The virgins, St. Paul said in his epistles, were organized; the widows were organized. So without monasticism, the Church, the Orthodox Church, cannot have a real life.”​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

@LyingWrongAgain My question is... if the teleomony does NOT "actually" exist, how is "our cognition" causing the appearance thereof?

[Chase @ChKrosp89]

@LyingWrongAgain The "tuner" is said by the naturalist atheist to be "us". Meaning that it is the domino effects of the "precursors and physics" that emerge the "human cognition". But the actual "teleomony" does NOT actually exist.

Excellent bit, I heard it years ago and have always hoped to get this chance somehow. 😝

@maklelan and/or from the author who left the text/inscriptions.

This is why I ask everyone, "what/who is the normative authority behind your historicity?"

[Chase @ChKrosp89]

@maklelan Honestly, it was in my journey in the atheistic desert that I had grown into understanding that "history" is mostly based in the authors storytelling. You have "evidences" that can point select regions and locations but the events require alot of inferences from the historian

🔸 August 2 - Saint Basil the Fool-for-Christ 🔸

Today we commemorate Saint Basil the Blessed Fool-for-Christ of Moscow. St Basil was born in 1468 and, while still young, was apprenticed by his parents to a shoemaker. One day, a merchant came to order a pair of custom boots, but Basil began to weep, telling his master the man would never need them. Days later, his foresight was proven true when the merchant suddenly died.

At age 16, Basil embraced the ascetic feat of “foolishness for Christ,” concealing his holiness and childlike purity beneath a veil of madness and seemingly strange behaviour. Through the freezing winter and scorching summer, he walked barefoot through the streets of Moscow. Once, he overturned a vendor’s stall of kalach and spilled a jug of kvas. Enraged merchants beat him, but it was later discovered that the flour had been mixed with chalk and lime, and the kvas was spoiled.

What seemed to be a senseless act was divine discernment, for Basil had saved many from harm. As his reputation as a man of God spread, people often gave Basil clothing, especially during the harsh winters. Robbers once conspired to steal his fur coat, and one pretended to be dead while the others begged Basil for money to pay for the funeral and clothing to cover the body. Basil covered the “corpse” with his coat, but warned them that judgment awaited their deceit. Soon after, the deceiver truly died.

The compassionate Saint often visited taverns and inns to call those drowning in sin to repentance. He spent his nights in prayer on the steps of Moscow’s churches. He once wept outside a drunken household, clutching the corner of the house. When people nearby asked why he did this, Basil replied, “Angels stand here in sorrow, grieved by the sins of the people. I beg them with tears to pray for their conversion.”

Basil foretold the Great Fire of Moscow in 1547, extinguished another by prayer in Novgorod, and boldly rebuked Tsar Ivan the Terrible for allowing his mind to wander during the Divine Liturgy to thoughts of building a new palace. St Basil reposed in 1557 and was buried at the Trinity Church in Red Square, later renamed St Basil’s Cathedral.
