“In the academic world, diversity means black leftists, white leftists, female leftists, and Hispanic leftists. Demographic diversity conceals ideological conformity.”
— Thomas Sowell
A small boy and his grandfather stopped at a gate. There was a cow in the field. This is what was said.
'Grandad, what's that cow even for?'
'Ah. Climb up on the gate. This'll take a minute.'
'Is it just for the beef?'
'The beef. The milk. The butter on your toast. The cheese. The leather in those shoes you're scuffing on my gate.'
'All from a cow?'
'I'm not done. The fat for the soap your mum washes you with. The bone that feeds the roses. The hide they bound the old books in.'
'From that one?'
'From every one of them. For ten thousand years.'
'And what does she want for all that?'
'Look at her. Grass. A drink of water. A field. This field.'
'That's all?'
'That's all. She eats the grass you can't, on the ground we can't plough, and gives back every single thing I just told you.'
'So why do people say she's bad?'
'Because they've never stood at a gate and watched one. There. You're the first in a while.'
The cow lifted her head, looked at the boy for a long moment, and went back to the grass.
'...She's not bothered, is she, Grandad.'
'No, lad. She never is.'
@DisaffectedPod@SBaboo59 You may use whatever word you want in any way you want, to be sure. It doesn't mean that you're using it properly. Psychological trauma as a specific clinical definition.
.@ossoff, your post is indefensible. If the people that you are defending are as competent as you believe, they will have no problem finding a job. Wait...those are the same people that promoted vaccination, social, distancing, and other myths subsequently obliterated with good science. Here's to you getting primaried....
I respectfully disagree. Evangelical Christians experience the indwelling presence of Christ through the Holy Spirit. I suggest that you refrain from generalizing some Evangelicals’ obsession with the Holy Land. For many, it is merely the historical place where the Savior dwelt among us, nothing more.
