@mtaibbi We can,

and it’d be good to do so,

and it’d be in line with the scope of constitutional liberties intended by our founders

@virgilwalker True. But the deeper truth is: they do not have jurisdiction to adjudicate such a question in the first place. Regardless of which way the decision had gone, their authority on the matter is simply non-existent.

Gentlemen,

Not every besetting sin in your life is purely a spiritual problem.

The sin is real. Repentance is necessary. But sometimes your body is making the battle harder than it has to be.

Do you battle with anger?
It may be sin.
It may also be sleep apnea.

Do you battle with lethargy?
It may be slothfulness.
It may also be low testosterone.

Do you battle with anxiety?
It may be sinful fear.
It may also be poor sleep, a bad diet, too much caffeine or nicotine, or a nervous system that has been running on fumes for years.

The point is not to excuse sin.

The point is to stop pretending that men are disembodied souls.

You are body and soul. And sometimes the body is dragging the soul into a fight it is too exhausted to win.

Over the last eight years, I have spoken with countless men who were fighting difficult besetting sins they could not seem to overcome.

I have seen men who regularly flew into rages so intense they seemed ready to give themselves a stroke.
The issue was solved with a CPAP machine.

I have seen men who wanted to be hard workers, but could barely drag themselves out of bed.
This was solved when they found that they had low testosterone.

I have seen men with severe brain fog that made them poor fathers, husbands, and businessmen.
This was solved when they discovered that the issue was mitochondrial dysfunction, systemic inflammation, or other underlying health problems.

Many of these men were able to identify the issue with something as simple as a blood panel or a sleep study.

Many were able to improve dramatically with a CPAP, a few peptides, dietary changes, better sleep discipline, or other targeted interventions.

Again, this does not excuse sin.

It simply means that some men are trying to fight spiritual battles while their bodies are collapsing underneath them.

Repent of your sin.

But also get your bloodwork done. Fix your sleep. Clean up your diet. Take your body seriously.

You are not a ghost.

You are a man made of body and soul.

@Jason @beffjezos I knew some amazing athletes in high school who ended up in jail or worse

“You’re the best forward on the team; please come into my home”

Does that sound right to you?

[Dillon R @dmr5090]

@argofowl Can confirm. Lots of sudden screw-ups recently but especially today

@chrisman Ask them what the consequences should be for homeschooling parents who fail to educate children. Then ask what the consequences should be for public schools that do the same.

The difference in answers is the game.

[JW Arminius @JWArminius]

Don't watch this. Americans need to understand that Hollywood exists to warp our cultural lodestars and misrepresent our history, reducing them to anti-white, anti-nationalist propaganda. Netflix is the worst offender.

"But the trailer looks so wholesome!"

Don't take the bait.
