Bolshevik

An hour? He usually spent 35 minutes or so rambling before ever quoting a verse. Often off topic.

Yeah there's something about the writing style. . . . It limits the possible reactions to a missing wallet to an either/or reaction. . . Implying "the old man nature" is always a negative reaction. Even then the invalidation.. berating yourself for having a negative emotion only makes it worse . . . And the article turns into some eternal conflict . . . Like you should be running around with a mask and cape (Simply telling yourself "yeah, that situation sucks and you have a right to feel that way" is all you really need to do sometimes)

If I bought NFTs with pictures of a guy with a red hat, is that a pump and dump scheme or am I being emotional?

Then I'm gonna be a Transformer, use force, and take captives . . . . don't really think that's necessary Little different than stoicism but whatever.

OH! . . . it says you can phone a friend . . . but not to bring the money . . . to tell you Bible versus. Maybe that's currency at some stores?

Now I'm supposed to operate nine manifestations and engage in the competition . . . honestly I don't think the store will run out of food . . . but okay it says to get into farming now. I guess the manual labor will help me remember better next time.

I mean I might make a phone call, tell the clerk I'll be right back . . . but the writer goes right into lust. It's groceries . . . the heck do they eat?

Ok . . . . I guess we're to ignore the wallet cause that is love . . . love that God wants, dammit.

It circles back to the wallet, but then back to changing your clothes. Maybe you left your wallet in your other jeans? The writer must wear tight clothing cause they're making a big deal out of it.

The top left part of Page 5 says if you forgot your wallet, darkness may come, but don't wear pajamas, cause you gotta go to work? Well . . . if it's dark out it's time for bed and you gotta rest . . . but you need money for groceries, so you gotta go to work and you need rest. And pushing an old man off of you is more important than getting you pajamas off, so there's that.

Page 5 says make no provision for the flesh, and the top of page 6 says to starve my old man. I'm guessing there's no groceries that week.

The forth to last paragraph tells me to go get some heavy machinery and knock the store down, you know, to demonstrate my power.

The first paragraph presents an example of a common problem. The second paragraph gives the solution. The third paragraph repeats the first two paragraphs and adds more layers. Reading through the rest of the article, I forgot why I went to the store. So what's the difference between the renewed mind and being stoic? Does anyone get the groceries in the end? sto·ic 1. a person who can endure pain or hardship without showing their feelings or complaining.

Whatever you do, don't waste Mike's time.

Indeed it did. Western Colonialism moved much further. And ended slavery through most of the planet.

Jewishistory.org Says Christianity defeated the Roman Empire and spread in large part due to slaves and women.

No apologies I don't see much early Christianity outside of the Roman Empire. (By see I mean wiki "Spread of Christianity") Maybe East a bit and south into Africa.

Byzantium was the Roman Empire. They called themselves Roman. But the Greeks were conquered long before Jesus.

I mentioned on another thread Greek influence via Rome's adoption of Greek ways imprinting onto Christianity. I agree.

Are you suggesting Paul name-dropped his way into history? Sly fox.
