I’m home!

[seraphim (richard) rohlin @richardrohlin]

5.5-hour Liturgy this morning. I was blessed to assist in the reception 63 souls into the Holy Orthodox Catholic Church.

A nice little warmup to the main event tonight. Even now we celebrate the death of Death.

Being mean vs putting people in prison? This is retarded, I’m not a trump supporter, but who has he actually thrown the book at like the dems? If there’s actually people then I will retract, but I’m pretty sure it’s just him being an asshole

[Vlogging Through History @VTHistory25]

Until they start calling out the President over some of the ways he's going after anyone who says something mean about him, I never want to hear Republicans complain about Democrats weaponizing the federal government against opponents again.

I don’t think this guy understands specifically Orthodox Christianity, though I would say his critiques are great against Protestantism

One chance ? One mic …. ?

Christianity is parasitic on the universal human condition: our fear of death, our guilt over moral failure, our existential dread in an indifferent universe, and our desperate hunger for meaning, purpose, and cosmic justice. Those vulnerabilities pre-exist Christianity. Every human carries them.

Christianity does not create the host, it latches onto it, exaggerates the diagnosis (“you are totally depraved and deserve eternal hell”), and then offers itself as the only cure.

So what does it actually return to the host?

It promises forgiveness, but only after convincing you that you are fundamentally broken in a way that requires lifelong submission to its authority.

It promises moral order, but only by subordinating your reason to ancient texts, ecclesiastical tradition, and the claim that logic itself must bend when it conflicts with the narrative (exactly as my pinned statement demonstrates: if God knows the entire timeline perfectly and eternally, that timeline cannot be different, otherwise God’s knowledge is false or reality contradicts what He knows. Both are impossible under the law of non-contradiction. The “free will” and “personal relationship” it sells you are therefore illusions).

It promises salvation and transformation, but only after you accept the very contradictions it creates and surrender intellectual honesty whenever the system is pressed.

The net result is dependence, not freedom. It weaponizes fear and guilt, extracts time, money, emotional energy, and intellectual conformity, and leaves the host more anxious about eternity than before, unless you stay inside the system. That is classic parasitism: diagnose an exaggerated or invented disease, monopolize the cure, and make the host reliant on the parasite for relief.

You, jimbob, are doing the exact same thing on a smaller scale. You beg for change on superchats on YouTube while producing “art” and content that mocks the very seriousness Orthodoxy demands. You dress, speak, and present yourself in ways that directly contradict the ascetic, disciplined life the Orthodox Church actually teaches.

You are not abiding in Christ, you are leeching off the same Christian ecosystem you claim to critique, turning it into a personal grift for attention and donations while throwing around slurs like “retard face” when pressed for real argument.

@EthanWayne2001 He never claimed it was a model to be followed, it’s an example of a society rejecting sodomy, and he gave more examples from other cultures. He is making the point that as Christians, we should reject sodomy. We should reject the agenda that has made eros its reverent.

[dragon_hendrix @dragon_hendrix]

@EthanWayne2001 Yeah that was my point, when The Church was started, we Christians didn’t stone people.

Anyway Father Josiah was making a wholistic argument that the entirety of religious history has a clear view of sodomy, which in that last 60 years has been radically reversed here in the US

[dragon_hendrix @dragon_hendrix]

@EthanWayne2001 No, stoning is something that as Christians we no longer do, because we pray for the repentance of those in sin. Father Josiah listed more than just what Mohammed ordered his lackeys to carry out, he gave examples from Judaism, the New Testament, and Buddhism.

[dragon_hendrix @dragon_hendrix]

Catholic Canon Law says you can’t do that

[Metatron @pureMetatron]

If you are a true Catholic, you should reject this pope and his false teachings.

@Ctwice32 @allenanalysis I mean that’s Israel’s narrative, but that’s not how it went down. Israel has been pushing for regime change since the early 90s. Check out @scotthortonshow he is a great resource for foreign policy, does a lot of research on this stuff.

Anyway, love the content! Go Raiders!

[dragon_hendrix @dragon_hendrix]

@Ctwice32 @allenanalysis They’re not as nice as ours, but they can make a lot of them, plus they have their shahed drones. They can go at this a long time, and since we’ve attacked them twice while negotiating, they do not trust us at all. With the US sending more forces over there, this may take awhile

[dragon_hendrix @dragon_hendrix]

@Ctwice32 @allenanalysis Idk man, Iran controls the straights still, it’ll take boots on the ground to complete a regime change, and they have waaaaay more missiles than we do. All they need to do is sink any tanker that they haven’t authorized. And they can damage Saudi production if they wanted…

[dragon_hendrix @dragon_hendrix]

@Ctwice32 @allenanalysis I think that’s a fair assessment of media, but not all pollsters. And at the same time, it’s clear that young people and independents are leaving Trump because of the eptsein files, and the war with Iran. Gas prices already skyrocketing, and we haven’t hit the supply shock yet

[dragon_hendrix @dragon_hendrix]

@Ctwice32 @allenanalysis That’s what I’m asking you, where are you getting the idea that Trump’s approval is not dropping? I did a quick google search, and clicked link after link of poles showing mid-high 30s. I also asked chatGPT for the average, that said it was around 39% approval.

[dragon_hendrix @dragon_hendrix]

@Ctwice32 @allenanalysis Can you find me the real pole? Because I’m looking at everything I can find and it does not look good for Trump, the or the GOP

[dragon_hendrix @dragon_hendrix]

@Ctwice32 @allenanalysis Trumps current average approval rating is around 35-38%, and while I’m not a fan of Obama his average approval rating never dropped below 40%. This war is already tanking his presidency, and because they’ve gone back on every promise, the GOP will lose the young/independent vote

[dragon_hendrix @dragon_hendrix]

@VTHistory25 @MrCasey62 Do you have the same faith as the church from 350 AD?

[dragon_hendrix @dragon_hendrix]

@Ctwice32 @allenanalysis This is the most unpopular war in the last 50 years, I don’t know anyone under 40 who supports trump anymore

@KrisDior_ Maybe with the way he screams? But the roots of Metal come from Black Sabbath and Zeppelin.
They actually changed the sound of rock into something harder. Derived from blues and early rock and roll, they produced a completely new sound. Ive listened to Jay Hawkins, he aint metal
