Oh, God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son." Abe said, "Man, you must be puttin' me on." God said, "No." Abe say, "What?" God say, "You can do what you want, Abe, but The next time you see me comin', you better run." Well, Abe said, "Where d'you want this killin' done?" God said, "Out on Highway 61."

Why Empathy Is Now ‘Toxic,’ ‘Suicidal,’ and a ‘Sin’
According to Gad Saad and his powerful acolytes, compassion is a recipe for “the collective suicide of the West.”

Let’s not screw this up. Support Democrats who can win their elections. No “purity” tests.

The federal judiciary was not designed to restrain a lawless autocrat, time after time after time ad infinitum. Dealing with a lawbreaking autocrat was intended to be Congress’ job, one and done.

Joe, you are right. It’s like the parable of the prodigal son, only here we can welcome the former Trump voter back home to democratic institutions .

Heard at today’s Episcopal sermon: “God can seem cosmic and abstract, but look at your neighbors They are right there. Focus on loving them and you won’t be far off.” And: “We crave justice - especially when it’s administered righteously on the other person - but what we need is grace.”

I lived 70 years before I heard the term “Smash Burger” but now that’s all I hear. Where did this term come from and why is it ubiquitous now? #Hamburger

Who believes Trump? The guy could say the biggest whopper ever and MAGA would swear by it. That’s a substantial percentage of the electorate. It bodes ill for the future.

The two other branches are putting the judiciary under intense pressure to defend the rule of law. This is not sustainable.

Our priest’s sermon was on Jesus feeding the multitude with a basket of bread and a few fish. OK, another Jesus Miracle like Lazarus from the dead? Maybe. Our priest suggested that perhaps Jesus inspired the people to share their food generously without reservation. Also a miracle - and a lesson.

The USA is an unreliable ally. The page has turned. The USA is not a superpower that the free world can rely on. Iran is calling into question whether the USA is just a gas station with nukes. Charles DeGaulle was right, but it took Donald Trump to show it some 60 years later.

I guess it’s good that the public is interested in Homer’s work, but some of the comments are . . . well, consider Elon Musk’s statement that his Grok Imagine will produce an “historically accurate” version of The Odyssey. What does that even mean? Will Polyphemus’ eye be blue instead of hazel? WTF?

Rev. Lars, I think you may be right. In my experience (72 years on this planet) I haven’t seen human nature change. Small sample size, but I am also versed in history. Same conclusion.

Today’s lesson was The Parable of the Weeds. The roots of wheat and weeds are intertwined. Premature weeding may uproot wheat along with the weeds, and then we all suffer the loss. Our sermon counseled patience. We live in a hasty society. Hasty decisions aren’t necessarily good decisions.
