A spine is a mercy in an age that worships softness.

@Sarahjdublin It doesn't matter what level you look at it at.

@AlteredEggoEgo Do you just not understand analogies or allegory?

The point is that you are the fish.

[Keane Anthony @TheKeaneAnthony]

@DrRitaDed Liberal? Really?

[Keane Anthony @TheKeaneAnthony]

Perhaps expanding the analogy into an allegory will help.

The Fish Who Searched for the Sea.

In a bright reef beneath the morning sun, there lived a young fish named Corin who had begun to doubt the old stories about the Sea.

The older fish spoke of the Sea as though it were everywhere. They said the Sea gave life to every creature, carried the great whales, filled the deepest trenches, and held even the smallest fish in its embrace.

But Corin had never seen the Sea.

He had seen coral, sand, shells, plants, and countless kinds of fish. He had watched as currents bent the long grasses and he felt the pressure grow heavier when he swam into the deep. Yet nowhere had he found this thing called the Sea.

One day Corin approached an old turtle who had travelled farther than anyone in the reef.

“You have crossed the deep waters,” Corin said. “Tell me, where can I find the Sea?”

The turtle looked around them. “Where do you think you are?”

“I am beside the reef,” Corin replied. “But I asked about the Sea.”

The turtle swept one broad flipper through the water. A cloud of sand rose and drifted away.

“And what moved the sand?” he asked.

“The current.” Responded Corin.

“And what carries the current?” Quieried the turtle.

Corin frowned. “That doesn't answer my question. A current isn't the Sea.”

The turtle nodded. “Then follow me.”

They swam beyond the reef, where the water grew cold and dark. Corin felt the pressure tighten around him.

“What do you feel?” asked the turtle.

Corin replied “Pressure.”

“And what presses upon you?” said the turtle.

“The deep, that's still not the Sea,” Corin insisted.

They rose toward the surface, where shafts of sunlight descended like pillars. Corin opened his gills and drew in what he needed to live.

“What keeps you alive?” the turtle asked.

“My gills.” Responded Corin, with much confidence.

“And what do your gills draw from?” The turtle persisted.

Corin grew irritated. “You keep showing me currents, pressure, light, and breath. I asked you to show me the Sea itself. Place it before me. Point to where it begins and where it ends. Let me examine it as I would a shell or a stone.”

The turtle was silent for a moment.

At last he said, “You are searching for the Sea as though it were one more object lying somewhere around you."

Corin stared at him.

“You expect to swim around it,” the turtle continued, “to view it from the outside and compare it with other things. But you have never taken a breath apart from it. You have never moved without passing through it. Every current you have followed, every pressure you have felt, every living thing you have known, exists within it.”

Corin looked out into the endless blue.

“So you cannot show it to me?” he asked.

“I have shown you nothing else,” said the turtle.

Corin did not answer. He had spent his whole life demanding to see the Sea, never considering that the reason he could not stand and look at it from the outside was that it had surrounded him from the moment he first opened his eyes.

@AllGood541570 @InspiringPhilos InspiringPhilosophy: Shows multiple people threatening to do horrible things to both him and his family.

Muslims: No one is threatening him!! I deny all evidence!

@RonaldsRDonalds @InspiringPhilos "It'S GriFTing, gRifTiNg!"

It would only be grifitng if Michael didn't actually believe what he said.

This is the rest of the hadith, "So they followed the shepherd that is the camels and drank their milk and urine till their bodies became healthy. Then they killed the shepherd and drove away the camels. When the news reached the Prophet (ﷺ) he sent some people in their pursuit. When they were brought, he cut their hands and feet and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron." (Sahih al-Bukhari 5686b–c)

This doesn't make things any better.

@VerQuaesitor @MikeWingerii These are not even close to analogous. Islam rots your brain.

[Keane Anthony @TheKeaneAnthony]

@PsychoResist @AlteredEggoEgo I think you might also miss the point of the analogy.

Can you explain it to me?

@0xJackPhantom @MikeWingerii I'll pray for you.

[Keane Anthony @TheKeaneAnthony]

@0xJackPhantom @MikeWingerii Well, it seems you are exactly as pathetic as your pathetic god, because it's yourself.

If you watched the video, it's abundantly clear that threats have been made to Mike.

May God be merciful to you and help your soul.

[Keane Anthony @TheKeaneAnthony]

@InspiringPhilos @MikeWingerii We will not stop until the whole world knows what a filth and scourge Islam is.

Soli Deo Gloria.

[Keane Anthony @TheKeaneAnthony]

@MikeWingerii We support you, and this whole endeavor.

[Keane Anthony @TheKeaneAnthony]

@0xJackPhantom @MikeWingerii You are about as pathetic as your god. Repent and plead with the true God to forgive you. He will be just and merciful to do so.

Jesus would have practiced a form of second temple Judaism. This is completely distinct from all forms of of rhabinic Judaism as practiced today.

All three of the major, "Abrahamic Religions" are birthed in some form from this religion.

As a Christian, I would obviously hold the contention that Christianity is the true fulfillment of that religion, and is—for all intents and purposes—categorically the same.

[Keane Anthony @TheKeaneAnthony]

It's good to know that there is some sort of official Roman Catholic statement against the Blessed Virgin receiving the title of "Co-redemptrix."

I'll note that—while I don't personally agree with the latter three of the dogmas you listed—I am not totally concerned on the official Roman Catholic teaching on these issues. I am concerned by the general practice of practicing Roman Catholics.

While condemned officially, I constantly hear Mary referred to as Co-redemptrix (from practicing Roman Catholics), and even more often I hear her referred to as the mediatrix of all graces.

None of this is to mention what I consider to be the literal idol worship of bowing down to statues of her. This seems to be a universally practiced. Even if Idol worship is too harsh of a judgement, it certainly is a leap from calling her blessed.

@PsychoResist @AlteredEggoEgo I didn't miss anything. Rhetorical analogies absolutely fabricated to prove points. That's sort of the point of rhetorical analogies.

This wasn't the dunk you thought it was.
