Like, I have not read The Manifesto or das Kapital. But, it’s very easy to see through some of the nonsense that is implied when you look at the counter arguments against having a just society.

To which my counter is, “So you think some people deserve health and wellness and others do not? You suppose that wealth can be justly hoarded?” Go read the Russian proverb about the old woman and the onion.

I tend to think the arguments against equality are, for the most part, poor. For example, one person says, “People ought to be treated fairly.” A particularly American argument against such a statement is, “You’re a Marxist. Marxism bad.”

Ever since college I've wanted to own this series: _Francis of Assisi: Early Documents_

. . . it's a completely odd feeling to think that this sort of eschatology is frowned upon by established religion because "only certain people get to experience eternal bliss and the rest must suffer eternal torment."

For #BannedBooksWeek I'm reading _That All Shall Be Saved: heaven, hell, & universal salvation_ by David Bentley Hart (2021) on AudioBook on #hoopladigital though my local library.

. . . a painted icon of Sf. Dumitru Stǎniloae, but it's of him in his study, and the K.D. of Barth is pictured behind him. Just my imagination. But it would be funny if Barth made his way into an Eastern Orthodox icon!

Lol In college I read a lot of early Franciscan literature but now that I’m Orthodox no one wants to buy me the Francis books.

But also, I guess my bad for not buying enough Franciscan texts for the past 20 years

ngl, I’m low-key kind of mad I’m LITERALLY JUST LAST NIGHT finding out it’s the 800th anniversary of St Francis’ (Assisi) death. I guess my bad for not knowing the year he died. He’s one of my favorite saints

From Saint Gregory the Theologian's First Oration on the Son:

For this reason the Monad from the beginning moved toward a dyad and at the Trinity came to a halt.

The Pappas Patristic Institute just casually suggested people celebrate Dionysius the Areopagite tomorrow by reading all 58,807 words of the Dionysian Corpus in one sitting. Such a cool idea, and you love to see it!

I think the mono mix is the same. It’s the stereo that was re-done.

I bought the book when it came out. I tried to listen to it on audiobook as recently as three years ago. My brain was tired. Maybe my medication regimen was slowing my brain. Anyways, I love it.

There is much about automation to be regretted, but one thing that comes up rather frequently, is the automatic 'phenomenon' of my computer and accounts talking to me/us. My computer just wished me "Happy Birthday!" a day in advance. Oh well, let those things that do not exist perish utterly.

I “created” a Wikipedia account last week and misspelled my first name while creating my username. Too bad — Unfortunately, it would seem the username is a unique and unalterable account identifier. Best I can do is vanish the account and not reuse the account identifiers. Lame

I don’t see kids being able to do an adequate word study for preaching if you don’t at least know an ancient alphabet.
