I find Buddhism (esp. Mahayana) very fascinating, not as reality but as mythology; it's like the Hellenists from the dramatists to the philosophers continued on in the East After the Orthodox Church they're probably the last religion that actually tries to plumb philosophically

Ultimately vanity, vanity, but I can't help but sympathize when it seems they're the last ones outside the Truth taking philosophy seriously, from the insanely rigorous (over)apophaticism of Nagarjuna to the all-consuming Tiantai, the humility of Jodo, etc No one else is serious

Interestingly, if Pritzker died right now, Illinois will have 4 different governors in only 2 months, 3 out of 4 of them becoming the first 3 Black governors of Illinois in that order:

Of course the famous Asian Religion turns out to be "Do questions 1-4" "1a 1b 1c 1d 2a 2b 2c...

I hate the way things like this will naturally flow forth from your mind in desire for self-expression but you cut off the idea & devise different phrasing because you know the other person will look at you like you've got two heads & you don't prefer a needless detour to clarify
Not to be that person but this is a phrase you will encounter all the time if you read.

I feel like 📸s captioned "The beauty of Orthodoxy" rub me the wrong way The real beauty of Orthodoxy is the Prodigal Son St Dionysius: "We call beautiful that which participates in Beauty; but beauty, the participation of the beautifying Cause of all the beautiful things."

We can search the Scriptures — of Zion it was said, "And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through My comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD." (Ez. 16:14) Things are beautiful through divine participation, but

"Bteve, how bad was Illinois Republican candidate Darren Bailey compared to Ted Dabrowski?"
🚨 BREAKING: Pritzker Flips Republican Stronghold for First Time in 174 Years In a historic political shift, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has become the first Democrat to carry McHenry County in a gubernatorial election since 1852. Long considered the most Republican of Chicago’s collar counties, McHenry County backed Pritzker over Republican Darren Bailey by more than 12,000 votes, according to unofficial election results.

*not a Republican soul is talking about propagandizing the masses and teaching civics with the insane power of boards of public education at any level* "Why are the masses stupid"
