Spammers and people with gentle manners are indistinguishable. So pls just ask questions don’t wave etc. I don’t respond.

    (FB 1546091221 Timestamp) SACRED INVERSION There have been things in the world properly made sacred by inversion; we’re doing our damnedest to reverse the sanctity of these things by making them “normal” once again. Jonathan Pageau gives a wonderful presentation on the perversion of “modern” art. He speaks to the world “turning upside down.” I see this as the world turning from sacred back to merely ordinary. 🙁 [The reversal of a necessary and brilliant upending] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUcdDfmjoTQ. Humans have a nature and thus bring a “collective subjectivity” to the value judgement of artistic endeavors. In other words it’s not “simply” subjective. By: G.K. Chesterton: “The family may fairly be considered, one would think, an ultimate human institution. Every one would admit that it has been the main cell and central unit of almost all societies hitherto, except, indeed, such societies as that of Lacedaemon, which went in for “efficiency,” and has, therefore, perished, and left not a trace behind. Christianity, even enormous as was its revolution, did not alter this ancient and savage sanctity; it merely reversed it. It did not deny the trinity of father, mother, and child. It merely read it backwards, making it run child, mother, father. This it called, not the family, but the Holy Family, for many things are made holy by being turned upside down. But some sages of our own decadence have made a serious attack on the family. They have impugned it, as I think wrongly; and its defenders have defended it, and defended it wrongly. The common defence of the family is that, amid the stress and fickleness of life, it is peaceful, pleasant, and at one. But there is another defence of the family which is possible, and to me evident; this defence is that the family is not peaceful and not pleasant and not at one.” Scott Adams, whom I have a great respect for misses the mark in his most controversial (and that’s saying a lot figuring most of his positions support Trump in some manner or another) video yet; the problem of the nuclear family. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyVK_T9m5R0

Heathen means, as far as I can tell, ‘religion of the hearth’, or more correctly ‘folk religion’, or ‘natural religion’. Whereas monotheism = political religion = unnatural.

    (FB 1546043826 Timestamp) Small Sample but reflects everything else I see: AGENCY —“The nature and extent of group differences in pain tolerance according to age, sex and race were examined. The method of pain tolerance determination was mechanical pressure on the Achilles tendon, performed on 41, 119 subjects as part of the Kaiser-Permanente Automated Multiphasic Screening examination. The results showed that, on the average, a) pain tolerance decreases with age; b) men tolerate more pain than women; and c) Whites tolerate more pain than Orientals, while Blacks occupy an intermediate position. When the results of this study are compared with earlier work, it appears that, with increasing age, tolerance to cutaneous pain increases and tolerance to deep pain decreases.”—

    (FB 1546043524 Timestamp) I mean, we used to play garbage can bowling, egging, and toilet papering, throwing snowballs at cars, lighting gasoline in the road as cars approached, putting scotch tape across the road between signs, whistling at girls, prank phone calls – and pranks like stealing signs and putting them on flag poles. I did stuff I shouldn’t have like rearranging cones in the road, and road signs. But all of these things were essentially pranks. But crimes? No. I do know people who did petty crimes like shoplifting and minor b&e, just for the fun of it.

    (FB 1546037448 Timestamp) —“The most preposterous notion that Homo sapiens has ever dreamed up is that the Lord God of Creation, Shaper and Ruler of all the Universes, wants the saccharine adoration of His creatures, can be swayed by their prayers, and becomes petulant if He does not receive this flattery. Yet this absurd fantasy, without a shred of evidence to bolster it, pays all the expenses of the oldest, largest, and least productive industry in all history.” ― Robert A. Heinlein, A religion without priests. A government without politicians. A market without ‘journalists’.
