Christianity man, first you accept it, you think it's some harmless and sterile thing, all it demands is that I go to church, repeat a few docile prayers, it couldn't possibly be that powerful, you said.
Then it slowly questions all your assumptions of life, you thought you could handle this little thing, now it's opposing your pre-existing and cherished worldviews, you are struggling to keep it in check, but now it's knocking up walls, pointing fingers at your opinions, breaking your lenses, tearing you open and poking at the dry scars of your old belief.
Christianity is a tiny acorn that soon fills up an entire forest with giant oaks. It doesn't merely hope to make you a 'good' person, but to make you 'His' person.
You know I've often said it "Christians think out the implications of what they believe", it's not merely 'take it like that', it is 'If I truly believe this to be true, then what does it mean for how I live and the convictions I hold dear".
And oh boy, does that make us feel stupid sometimes? Absolutely. To truly understand how the Christian processes the world, you must go back to that story at the centre page of human creation; God's entry into the world, his death, and the resurrection.
Without it, the stories and struggles of our lives are completely hopeless, without joy, without hope even for the worst of us, and ultimately devoid of meaning.
As you become an adult, you realize that things around you weren't just always there; people made them happen. But only recently have I started to internalize how much tenacity *everything* requires. That hotel, that park, that railway. The world is a museum of passion projects.
Sam Altman says Trump and Xi would win the Nobel Peace Prize for a one-page AI agreement
“I think Presidents Trump and Xi would get the Nobel Peace Prize together if they could agree on something that should be easy to agree to. And it would be wonderful.”
“I think that clearly the two countries are going to compete in lots of ways, and this is going to be important socioeconomically, geopolitically. But they should be able to agree that no one should be taking a certain level of risk with the development process of this.”
“And even if just the US and China could agree on some shared standards and testing for development of this technology, I think that'd be a wonderful accomplishment that the two of them can deliver.”
“I don’t think this is hard. This is like a one page document.”
The first thing you need to understand is that insecticide is no longer what it used to be in this country.
My brother been flit my room yesterday and I just walked in to pick up my laptop and do one or two things, only for me to hear him complaining outside that he had just flitted (flote? flite? 🤔) the room and why did I go in.

@Sweeegu At the end of the day, these people were in charge for the longest time and most people followed them in fact they voted them in. The problem started when they decided to start making decisions and didn’t get the buy in from the people and when the people complained they ignored
