''The biggest insult to the memory of the Holocaust is not denying it but using it to commit genocide against the Palestinian people.''

@thaddeusthought I haven't promoted logical positivism, nor have I reduced knowledge to a purely rational endeavor. Experience is not at odds with coherency. After all, if experiences are to affect us, they must become coherent to us to some degree or other, at some point or other.

[Eli (Stop Israel's genocide of the Palestinians) @pretentiouscox]

@thaddeusthought Without coherency, faith devolves into a blind and ever-fluctuating fideism. Every doctrine and dogma of the faith is an attempt to convey its truth more coherenly.

"God infinitely transcends all we have about Him, but He cannot not be infinitely contrary to all we have said."

"...God has no need of prayers, prayer ropes, prostrations, fasting and all such things—we do! When these are absent, evil finds the opportunity to enter our soul. When a person does not take his medicine, he suffers a more severe relapse."

"To forgive a brother who repents, works towards our own repentance. To forgive even when no sorrow has been offered in return works an even greater repentance."

[The Son of God] was not tempted with Evil but with Good; with inferior forms of good, that is, pressing in upon him, while the higher forms of good held themselves aloof, biding their time, that is, God's time...the devil tempted him to evil, but not with evil.

"Those who perform deeds of charity and of righteousness will have fulness of life; but those who commit sin are the enemies of their own lives."
Tobit 12:9-10

[Chris Hedges @ChrisLynnHedges]

The Holocaust is often considered the defining, unique act of evil for people in the West. Lesser known are the many other genocidal escapades of Western governments — in Pankaj Mishra's new book, and the latest episode of CHR, we dive into the hidden genocidal history of the West, and the psychology behind it.

"If you are critical of others, self-confident about your correctness, eager to quote canons to prove someone else is wrong, constantly "knowing better" than others—you have the germs of the "correctness disease." These are signs of immaturity in spiritual life."

@johnmilbank3 I can assure you that's the least appalling thing Elon has done.

I recall Marc Maron once saying in a discussion with a podcast guest, about whether acting can be taught or not, something to the effect: "To a big extent, either you're born with the talent or you're not. You can't teach someone to act like Gene Hackman."

RIP Gene

"We who are pious Christians ought to love our enemies and forgive them. We ought to offer them food and drink, and entreat God for their souls. And then we should say: 'My God, I beseech Thee to forgive me, as I have forgiven my enemies."

“Israel is not even trying to hide the fact that it is committing genocide.”

“They are proud of it. They are boasting about it. They relish it. They mock every child, woman, and man killed.”

In other words, Israel routinely takes Palestinians HOSTAGE.

2/2) ... Christians can atone for their complicity with violence in the past by refusing to be complicit with state violence now."

1/2) "The modern nation-state is founded on violence. If the church is going to resist violence, it has to emerge from its privatization and have a political voice, one that seeks not to regain state power but to speak truthfully about it. ...
