​​@SirAlphaLimaTango Isn't Kabbalah just Jewish spirituality?

11:56 AM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
​​@SirAlphaLimaTango What was Pageau saying about Kabbalah?

​@chrishoward8473 A reading of the poem in a dedicated stream would be great!

​@SirAlphaLimaTango Pageau looks like one of those many men specially chosen for their looks to make whatever they are selling appealing to women.

12:00 PM
@AmIDriving
#1
​Agreed

12:02 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#3
​@SirAlphaLimaTango I associate Pageau with platitudes.

12:05 PM
@SirAlphaLimaTango
​​Ford's movie is thriller drama, quite apropos for the current moment of Christian Nationalism

12:06 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#2
​@SirAlphaLimaTango Christian Nationalism would lead to a Christian Amendment implicitly abolishing the First Amendment. Too bad PVK won't discuss this.

12:07 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#2
​Christian Nationalism would make the Founding Fathers spin like turbines in their graves, considering they took the trouble to separate the church from their state.

12:09 PM
@ChristianDiaspora
​#3
​Has Secular Koranism coalesced into a viable political party? 👀

12:09 PM
@SirAlphaLimaTango
​​PVK would rather spin European history with his milquetoast moral theology rather than value historicity, even if it doesn't make your team look good

12:09 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#2
​What is "Christian culture" anyway?

12:10 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#2
​@ChristianDiaspora Secular Koranism is for the government to implement, not for winning elections.

12:10 PM
@SirAlphaLimaTango
​​45000 different Christian cultures

12:11 PM
@Eolson-helper
​​Good question OSK

12:11 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
​#2
​@Eolson-helper Thank you!

12:12 PM
@SirAlphaLimaTango
​​Catholics, Orthodox, and Orientals dont see the plethora of Protestant offshoot as part of "the body of Christ"

12:12 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#2
​@SirAlphaLimaTango Christians don't even care about their Christianity enough to ask which Church won the Wars of the Reformation and why.

12:12 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#2
​@SirAlphaLimaTango Every denomination of Christianity has already accused the others of heresy.

12:14 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#2
​@SirAlphaLimaTango If the Trinity is the unforgivable sin of associating partners with God as Muslims suppose, then all Trinitarians are in trouble. The Founding Fathers were not Trinitarians.

12:15 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#2
​@SirAlphaLimaTango Weren't the Founding Fathers Unitarians? Weren't there five Unitarian American Presidents?

12:16 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#2
​@SirAlphaLimaTango Which Church would you say won the Wars of the Reformation?

12:17 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#2
​@SirAlphaLimaTango Do you accept that Catholics and Protestants have an opposing view of Whig history?

12:17 PM
@SirAlphaLimaTango
​​@claire The churches that didn't see Obama let the Pope on the White House balcony on the 500th anniversary of the Reformation as the victor

12:17 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#2
​Is Ron Copperman a Pentecostalist?

12:19 PM
@SirAlphaLimaTango
​​yes, he is, maybe even further wooish, as he talks about Elizabeth Claire Prophet of the Occult

12:19 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#2
​What does Ron Copperman think of Paula White?

12:19 PM
@teestrypzSOG
​​naija represent

12:20 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#2
​Isn't Paula White a mad and bad? She is a Pentecostalist, isn't she?

12:20 PM
@SirAlphaLimaTango
​​Elizabeth Claire Prophet worshipped Count Saint Germain of Rosicrucian, Freemasonic, Theosophy legend

12:21 PM
@teestrypzSOG
​​isn't mo a pedo?

12:21 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#2
​Megachurches need to be big to give space for holy rollers to roll.

12:22 PM
@SirAlphaLimaTango
​​naija nah wah ooohhhh, hey

12:22 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#2
​Megachurches are basically there to platform mass hysteria and exclude rational thought.

12:23 PM
@teestrypzSOG
​​lol

12:23 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#2
​While the Catholic Church puts on a good show for their traditional services, Megachurches make their congregation part of the show.

12:23 PM
@SirAlphaLimaTango
​​Baptist churches often adorn the York Rite cross and crown emblem

12:24 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#2
​My observation of Christians is that those who go to Megachurches are less likely to engage in rational discourse.

12:25 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
​#2
​The difference between Muslim and Christian forms of worship is the simplicity of the former and the elaborate rituals of the latter.

12:25 PM
@SirAlphaLimaTango
​​@claire my conservative grandmother would call Evangelicals, "the wingnuts of our party" lol

12:26 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
​#2
​Should worship be a performance? Should worshipers become part of the show? It is like accepting a dinner invitation and finding yourself on the menu.

12:27 PM
@SirAlphaLimaTango
​​prosperity gospel 101

12:27 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#2
​@SirAlphaLimaTango It is my considered opinion that the Founding Fathers were proto-Muslim Noahides and heretical Christians who worshiped a Unitarian God.

12:28 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#2
​@SirAlphaLimaTango It appears that those who believe in the prosperity gospel are sheep to be fleeced.

12:28 PM
@AmIDriving
#1
​Pow pow pow

12:29 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#2
​@SirAlphaLimaTango What do you think of Paula White? Why doesn't any journalist ask POTUS what kind of Christian he is and his thoughts on morality?

12:29 PM
@SirAlphaLimaTango
​​plant a seed for Jesus, donate your mortgage payment for a cheap prayer cloth made in China

12:30 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#2
​@SirAlphaLimaTango Why doesn't the US government protect its more credulous citizens from charismatic frauds like Paula White?

12:31 PM
@teestrypzSOG
​​it's interesting, just not pretty

12:31 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism

​Thanks to Trump's foreign policy, American Christianity is now coming now coming under global scrutiny.

12:31 PM
@SirAlphaLimaTango
​​actually many journalists have reported on Trump's Norman Vincent Peale influence... Power of Positive Thinking and Think and Grow Rich Mentality

12:31 PM
@SirAlphaLimaTango
​​actually many journalists have reported on Trump's Norman Vincent Peale influence... Power of Positive Thinking and Think and Grow Rich Mentality

12:33 PM
@SirAlphaLimaTango
​​Mormons, Jehovah Witness, Adventist, and Pentecostals were are founded by Rosicrucian, Freemasonic, Theosophy types

12:33 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#2
​@SirAlphaLimaTango Norman Vincent Peale and Napoleon Hill are deceased. Paula White is very much alive giving American Christianity a very bad name!

12:34 PM
@SirAlphaLimaTango
​​@claire I was adding context to what type of Christian tradition he comes from since you asked

12:36 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
​#2
​@SirAlphaLimaTango Trump's parents were Presbyterians.

12:36 PM
@SirAlphaLimaTango
​​Joseph Smith was a Scottish Rite Freemason

12:37 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#3
​Donald Trump's mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, was a strict Presbyterian who ensured her children were raised in that faith.

12:37 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#3
​His father, Fred Trump, was of Lutheran descent but married Mary Anne as a Presbyterian and joined her at the First Presbyterian Church in Jamaica, Queens, where Donald was confirmed in 1959.

12:37 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#3
​While the family later attended Marble Collegiate Church (led by Norman Vincent Peale), their foundational religious upbringing was Presbyterian.

12:37 PM
@SirAlphaLimaTango
​​@Claire Trump grew up listening to Peale’s sermons, which emphasized a "prosperity gospel" that equated faith with success. Peale officiated at Trump’s first wedding...

12:38 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
​#3
​American Christians are not that rooted in their parental denomination and are more "rooted" in the traditions and practices of their nearest church.

12:39 PM
@SirAlphaLimaTango
​​@chris, ask Ron to speak on Elizabeth Claire Prophet

12:39 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#3
​"Church of Convenience" is very much an American thing.

12:39 PM
@SirAlphaLimaTango
​​@claire it all goes back to the film, "Brotherhood of the Bell"

12:40 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#3
​In any case , we cannot expect social clubs to be maintaining morality. This means Congress as legislature remains the ultimate enforcer of morality.

12:42 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#3
How can a ruling class of fake Christians be expected to maintain the morality of their fake Christian voters?

12:43 PM
@SirAlphaLimaTango
​​dont let Claire watch Claire's lectures lol

12:44 PM
@SirAlphaLimaTango
#3
​I think they are talking about me and you, Claire hahaha

12:45 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
​​@SirAlphaLimaTango I'm glad you're here!

12:45 PM
@SirAlphaLimaTango
#3
​I appreciate your presence as well, sister.. I love your passion for rational justice

12:46 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
​​Why not just make a point of thinking of God at least 5 times a day?

12:46 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
​​@SirAlphaLimaTango Justice is easy once there is truth.

12:46 PM
@SirAlphaLimaTango
#3
​I agree

12:47 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
​​Americans should pursue justice instead of happiness.

12:48 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
​​And they would end up happier too!

The beginning of wisdom is fear of the Lord


TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 49

""Fear knocked at the door; faith answered; no one was there."" I don't know to whom this quote should be attributed, but it certainly indicates very clearly that fear is an illusion. I create the illusion myself.

I experienced fear early in my life and I mistakenly thought that the mere presence of it made me a coward. I didn't know that one of the definitions of ""courage"" is ""the willingness to do the right thing in spite of fear."" Courage, then, is not necessarily the absence of fear.

During the times I didn't have love in my life I most assuredly had fear. To fear God is to be afraid of joy. In looking back, I realize that, during the times I feared God most, there was no joy in my life. As I learned not to fear God, I also learned to experience joy.
