We need to let adults fight without catching an assault charge...like I'm talking about consensual fighting. Not jumping folks, hiding no weapons none of that. Just going at it in the parking lot

The fun part of being human is that when something’s wrong you get to go “Is this spiritual, physical, emotional, environmental, or psychological?” and often the answer is just “Yes. :)”

“Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”
— Vincent Van Gogh

do you believe in ghosts? aliens? why or why not?
Nope, both those things are demons! Because they have the appearance of otherworldly power or knowledge but never inside a worldview that takes the Biblical God into account, but boy, they sure will distract people from the Biblical God.

What is Trump? And why are people posting about it all the time?
the ancient Americans believed that Trump, pharaoh of new york—later exiled to florida—was the second incarnation of their national demiurge, Reagan. he did little to discourage this, even taking the name Donald in direct reference to the ancient conservative deity

If our opponent believes nothing of divine revelation, there is no longer any means of proving the articles of faith by reasoning, but only of answering his objections--if he has any--against faith. Since faith rests upon infallible truth, and since the contrary of a truth can never be demonstrated, it is clear that the arguments brought against faith cannot be demonstrations, but are difficulties that can be answered.
- Thomas Aquinas

Love how many hymns always have a final verse about death and Heaven (or Christ’s return to judge the living and the dead). More modern worship songs need a banger final verse about putting off the body and clinging to Christ as you pass through the river of death and worshipping him until the day you rise again with a body imperishable (or about trumpets and glory and the appearing of the radiant Son of God).

I don't create art to be perfect, I create it for it to be left behind. I write my diary so a great-granddaughter of mine can read through it and try to find herself in my words. I write books so people will find them in abandoned bookshelves and wonder why their loved ones read them. I write poetry so people will read them in my absence and wonder if this is how I see the world. I paint so my children's friends will ask why their house has such bizarre decorations, and for canvas to be found in dirty attics. And even if it all will burn and be forgotten one day: I left my footprint. I was here even after I couldn't hold a pen anymore. I was here for just a second longer.

one thing that is often lost on modern audiences watching the Back to the Future series is that, in 1985, the DeLorean was well known for being a shitty car. The only reason the DMC DeLorean is remembered fondly today is because of BTTF; had the movie never happened, it would’ve been one of those fancy cars lost to time and remembered only by car nerds (trust me, there’s examples of this). Potentially the primary reason for choosing the DeLorean to be the time machine is because of how notoriously bad it was. We even see Marty question Doc’s choice to use a DeLorean, and at the climax of the first movie we see the car fail to start when Marty is lined up to drive towards the wire. The DeLorean was known for being overly heavy, clunky, prone to breaking down, and annoying to maintain.
Basically, what I’m saying is, if Back to the Future was made today, they’d use a Cybertruck.
