Argument: Marriage isn’t based necessarily on love but in how to build up the holiness of the community, therefore marriage is for sex to have children... (no correlation)

Really, I do not follow the argument. I do not understand how to build up the holiness of the community you need to necessarily be procreative... I may be true to the memory of a once pastoral nomadic tribe which needed desperately to procreate but to bring it to XXI century has no sense, in mi view. I can think thousands different ways a couple build up the holiness of a community in our times that are not necessary to procreate. Neither religiously not logically...

I enjoyed this and am reading her book now. Thanks for sharing.

this is an amazing song. it would sound better without all the backing vox so prominently featured

Beautiful… just….. beautiful. 23:39 really spoke to me. 23:14 was also a beautiful choice of words

Proud to be in the award Rhina Espaillat Poetry Award

Cheer up Brethren church

This is spoilt by the very poor sound quality ….

omg he hella looks like dante

glad i got to see the legend Mr. Salatin live - great talk

Jesus teaches us to stand up against evil. The Roman Catholic church still encourages people pray to false gods, for example Mary and the saints. They bow down to and kiss statues and the pope. They teach many false things and still hold to the same teachings that Martin Luther spoke against in the Reformation. Jesus speaks the Truth and warns against false teachers….we should listen to Him and take a stand against evil.

This sounds great but the whole point of the political drive for sustainability is not to make us all self sustainable. In 1917 small independent farmers thought the Bolsheviks were siding with them. And then they found out different in a few years, but it was too late.

Music Magic!

absolutely beautiful

Where is the rest of this?!!

I saw something on a black news channel about how a form of music needs more sales. Perhaps the nasty racist racism slurred white countries can assist. They have their uses after all.

Italian German etc why the hang ups?

In other words pay up £tns you white racists’ please ignore that brown skinned nations are epic slave lovers. 50 m in slavery African and Asian nations. Just screw the west for money they don’t owe because of a distorted false narrative whilst making fake history violations in ENGLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Beautiful. Beautiful. Thank you for this intro to what will surely be a great and timely story for me to listen to. [I do audio books...no time to read... only listen. Hmmm....kindle then. Smiles. It allows me to pick a voice and have the book read to me ...over my meal times. GRATEFUL! ] Very much so. Can't wait.

this world was not worthy of them

Becca is ridiculously remarkable. Hauntingly magnificent.

Allow me to challenge the justification by the economy. Less than 1% of fetuses test positive for Down Syndrome, which means society wasted 99.9% of that money spent on screening and prenatal testing. Wouldn't that 99.9% exceed what it costs to support those with Down Syndrome? Society is its own financial burden for thinking we don't deserve a life. Pathology/Psychiatry is not scientific, it is entirely political with no scientific basis. If these 'disorders' are biological as they claim, why is the DSM criteria just a list of social biases, where are the biological factors in the criteria? Typical vs Atypical Neurotypical vs Neurodivergent Where do we most commonly see dichotomy/polarisation? Politics. Average = Normal = Social "normative social influence" This is precisely why sociobiology is strikingly parallel to the racist Eugenics Movement, and why the racist Eugenics Movement is strikingly parallel to the political Neurodiversity Movement. Why was homosexuality in the DSM? Because it was socially undesirable, do you think it's a coincidence these so called 'disorders' were identified during the racist Eugenics Movement and Francis Galton's life? Disability always has, and always will be contextual, not biological. As the society is designed it is designed to suit specific people, do we really need all the irrelevant stimulants as decorations? People only experience SPD because of all the unnecessary and irrelevant stimulants, before they were put up no one suffered SPD. If scientists can't define a "normal human", they cannot validly define an "abnormal human" either. Then the very fact "normal" is subjective, you are in violation of the scientific method from the start as science is to be objective. There is no scientific basis to modern pathology/psychiatry, it is a pure reflection of cultural prejudice and a genetic form of racism, we could call it "geneticism". The facts this is all entirely political with no scientific basis. That it is based on ableism. That it is a form of genocide. That disability is not biological, but contextual. That it is entirely hypocritical. That it will cause premature extinction. That it will cause ecological disasters. It should immediately be stopped and restricted. Since disability is determined by what's socially desirable, anyone socially undesirable will be edited out of existence through politics. This is disgusting.

Don't believe the climate change nonsense, there's an agenda going on here....

After hearing the perfect version with Rebecca Martin and Gretchen Paelato, i wasnt sure that she could pull it off as a solo........boy was I wrong!!!

Oh my. Wonderful insights.

Bill Kauffman is a national treasure. His talk was ❤‍🔥

Wow, I thought Hauerwas and postmodernism killed the modernist liberal fantasy that that a common understanding of the good life can be found. I guess such a goal can only be achieved by those properly schooled in liberalism and rationalism. Oh wait, that would mean liberals do have a story and tradition on which their notions of "universal" reason relies. As Stanley said Western reason & liberalism still draws heavily on Christian tradition. When those memories fade, there will be nothing to sustain liberal ideals, particularly when they require sacrifices from the privileged who promote them. Christianity is built on death and resurrection. Liberals have no such story

Very much appreciate that the conversation re: selfishness expanded beyond parenthood. It’s such an unfair comment (“well you’re just selfish”) too often directed at those who either choose not to have children or (unknown to the person making the comment) cannot have children. Many people who have not chosen or cannot experience parenthood are deeply interested in pouring themselves into others (parents, siblings, cousins, friends, local community, spiritual community, patients; colleagues, etc.), and it was really wonderful to hear that acknowledged by the panel. Thought-provoking and respectful conversation! Thank you.

About seven minutes into your conversation Susannah makes the point that the reason she became an Anglican was that it was the Christian tradition that best incorporated humanism. It seems to me that humanism grows out of the Christian tradition, and becomes distinctive from it by making man rather than God its central value. Therefore, making the fullest possible inclusion of humanism central to the choice of one’s religious confession seems a bit odd.

words to the song played : When the earth is sleeping, when the fields are bare, only low wheat peeping in the bitter air, Forth we go at sunrise, through the frosty morn, with our hooks and shovels on our shoulders borne. Deep we dig the ditches, so that waters flow, low we lay the hedges so that shoots may grow. Home we go at sunset, weary shoulders bent, but the land will blossom from the strength we spent."

can't wait to read this. downloaded the e book and also ordered a hard copy.

In secular society, the trend towards populism has been fueled by the growing realisation that privileged elites are actively stymieing development and prosperity in functional democracies through the hoarding of wealth in offshore tax havens. The solution may lie in a 'manufactured' ideological war between east and western civilisations that may well include the deploying of nuclear weaponry. On a lesser scale, but no less damaging is the anarchy that may ensue from the resultant social discord. Archbishop Romero was one of many outspoken pacifists who were martyred in the process of trying to hold powerful elites to account. I fear his well-placed reason and noble ambitions were no match for the will to power of the more diabolically inclined. Then or now.

The best book about the copts ever!

It makes me sad what Russell has done to Christianity Today.

There are two issues here. Not just how much people make but also how much they have in the bank, inc. stocks and shares. It always amazes me that people will plead a humble income when they have a backstop of ten, hundreds, millions, in the bank. Ain't no ones business to know what a person earns except that everyone knows what the pastor earns.

Interesting

Such a beautiful haunting song. Becca's voice is so pure and beautiful.

Este man es mi horoe

Love Lyman Stone! Loved this. Thanks!

Could these guys be anymore boring?

Thank you

Jean Luc Picard …?

Cool!

Oh my, for over 30 years, that is exactly what I have been saying! Very impressive, so admirable that I am going to follow the Bruderhof via Plough, Daily Dig, and of course, now KZbin channels! And I fervently agree with the tremendous need for the monastic lifestyle, within Buddhism as well. And yet dismiss it as an actual choice.

Is it possible that only two or three students raise their hands in response to Dr. Hauerwas' question because the rest of the class has never experienced Jesus, and they have nothing to share with others? So perhaps Dr. Stanley should ask his students, "How many of you have ever experienced the living God?"

I thought I liked this guy Backhouse. Then he created an IG and revealed himself as one of the most liberal pieces of cr*p I've ever come across. Definitely doing the best he can to destroy the faith 🤮🤮
