Exactly
C. S. Lewis said something like this in Mere Christianity
"God is no fonder of intellectual slackers than of any
other slackers.
If you are thinking of becoming a Christian, I warn you, you are embarking on something which is going to take the whole of you, brains and all. But, fortunately, it works the other way round.
Anyone who is honestly trying to be a Christian will soon find his intelligence being sharpened: one of the reasons why it needs no special education to be a
Christian is that Christianity is an education itself. That is why an uneducated believer like Bunyan was able to write a book that has astonished the whole world."
the more i learn about christianity, the more i discover that christianity doesn’t take away your reasoning, in fact, it actively engages it.
problem is, a lot of christians are just very lazy.
😁🇪🇸 Mikel Arteta: “David Raya has to play in Spain at some point... on the beach with his friends, in the summer”.
“But for the next few years, he needs to play here for Arsenal!”. 🔴⚪️
Simply shout out Gabriel today. 200 Premier League Appearances for The Arsenal. Absolute colossus CB. Arteta recently talked about his journey and progress. Easily one of the best CB’s in world football. We dont praise him enough.
His partner is back soon too!
Muslims, I'm not going to say "this has nothing to do with Islam" this time.
On Friday, 23 October 2026, seven Christians were shot dead at a church in Jordan.
At a funeral.
They came to bury one of their own, and their families are now burying them.
We've said "nothing to do with Islam" for 30 years, and the killing hasn't stopped.
These men weren't born killers. Somebody taught them.
It starts in a sermon that calls Jews pigs and apes.
It grows in a home where Christians are "kuffar" you can't even say hello to.
It spreads online, where non-Muslims are treated as less than human.
Then one day, someone picks up a gun and finishes the lesson.
The bullet was fired in Jordan.
But the hatred was loaded years ago, in our mosques, our homes and our comment sections.
Until we deal with that, there'll be another church and another funeral.
My deepest condolences to our Christian brothers and sisters in Jordan.
They deserved better from us.
