@novusolus Theodicy dissolving into doxology appears to be the mature position. ‘Oh God!’

Simulation fans love John 1, but what will they make of John, chapter 17? I do not know, as I cannot read these sentences without weeping.

Rust & Errol share the same philosophy in True Detective. Time is a prison, men are puppets, religion is fraud. Errol ascends the loop by transgression, "redemption through sin". Rust gains a vision of the outside through sacrifice. The Left Hand Path vs the Right Hand Path.

@sanjehorah Hell is a tiered system for some; for others, it varies acutely by degree. Indeed, deportation would be in your best interests.

@nousaturn The sphynx and the toilet alien are very relatable before and after pictures.

@miltonappl3 So yes, Dad is quite literally watching, and you've asked him to. Look, no hands.

Very nice, in the context of the Lord's Prayer too. Persistence in prayer (*daily* [bread]).

Catholic supplementaries: Jn 14:17; Rom 8:14-17; 1Cor 12:4-11; Gal 5:22.
Calvin's* (via Matt 7:7-11): Ephesians 3:11-12, 15; Isa 49:15. Topical: Jas 4:3; Matt 6:33; Rom 8:15; Eph 1:14.

*Furthermore, Lk 11:5. 'Which of you shall have a friend: Luke adds this comparison, which is not mentioned by Matthew. The general instruction conveyed by it is this: Believers ought not to be discouraged, if they do not immediately obtain their desires, or if they find them difficult to be obtained: for if, among men, importunity of asking extorts what a person would not willingly do, we have no reason to doubt that God will listen to us, if we persevere constantly in prayer, and if our minds do not slacken through difficulty or delay.'

@mythomatician Can’t post ‘millions will hang’ unironically to the jeet botnet there m8

Quick thought, although it'll make some eyes roll: if your interesting set of novel syncretic axioms and operational parameters were to be the basis for the founding and work of a company (that which could actually change the world), then what would your initial product be?

My ideal society is a cross between Iron-Age Greece, the tribal Pashtuns, and Japan taken to its logical conclusion.

@Pontifex You should try it, Bob.

@sympractical It also lines up with Joscelyn Goodwin's thesis that the Earth used to lack an axial tilt.

[Sympractical @sympractical]

In Book X, Milton associates the axial tilt with eating the fruit of knowledge along with several cosmic changes (including the bridge to Hell). Although as far as I can tell most of it lines up pretty well with the Hamlet’s Mill thesis, which would suggest he is representing much older traditions.

Same dynamics at play in the so-called national (Celt) parties in the UK. Same dynamics, of course, in Westminster politics generally, especially after Blair.

[Covenaut @covenaut]

This nation is structurally incapable, as a modern invention, of having a genuine right wing. It's going to need to change that, along with everything it believes about itself (including its anti-British resentment), if the tiny Irish ethnos wishes to exist in three generations.

[Michael McCarthy @punishablepress]

Ireland's population grew by 78,000 last year.

The Irish population shrank by -1,500.

Every person added to the country's population last year was non-Irish.

[Avelum @novusolus]

Milton's poem captures this dynamic cosmology, echoing Theomachy in Greek myth, where the universe is in constant renovation. A bridge is built over Chaos, Sin is born from Lucifer's head, atoms in the basement of matter shake the Principalities & Powers in the Kingdom of Heaven.

It's easy Anglos are the tribes of the northern kingdom & Paradise Lost is the third testament.

[milton @miltonappl3]

Jesus won't stop: he says something to his disciples that they don't understand, and he knows they won't understand until the future.

I think that's called a perfect encryption.

A few verses later (moving from Luke 9:45 to 9:47) he is shown clearly knowing what they are thinking in their hearts about another topic.
