I’m a doctor and I’m convinced there’s a coherent argument that if the entire specialty of Psychiatry DISAPPEARED in the United States, the country would actually have better mental health
@farmingandJesus@grok AI knows this:
Yes — prayer directed to someone who is venerated elevates them to the level of worship.
Because prayer is:
• an act of worship,
• an expression of trust,
• a request for divine action,
• and a recognition of divine attributes.
The moment prayer is directed to a creature — saint, angel, Mary — the action itself becomes worship, regardless of the intention behind it. Mary was never deified. Direct your prayers to the Father through the Son. Mary has no part in salvation, or answering any other prayer.

At least in my mind it does.
@ClayTravis College athletics is ultimately going to become a European model now that “student athletes” are getting paid. Eventually, there will be a total split with the universities selling the split as to focus on their core mission, academics.
@chicagobulls NBA teams have kept players on their rosters who have beat a woman, been arrested over drugs or DUI, been accused of rape and who’ve been in public sexual deviancy dramas. But they drew the line today and waived Jaden Ivey for voicing a Christian view opposing LGBTQ Pride events.
