What about the Oxford movement?

What about it? Newman was a cool guy; I feel I have a lot in common with him. Neither of us could square the circle of Anglo-Catholicism. Newman went to real Catholicism. I went to Orthodoxy.

BTW, you're typing pretty well on this, national marijuana day.

I wouldn't thought it would be yesterday...

Interesting article about the Christian mission in North Korea before WWII had them evacuated. Didn't know Kim Il Sung was actually raised Presbyterian by his mother and father before becoming atheist later in life...The rest is history

You're all gonna die

Stalin was once a Georgian Orthodox seminarian studying for the priesthood.

An interesting article in Atlantic about the explosive growth of Christianity in China:

How could a country full of atheist communists do this? I thought once a society reaches a certain level of wealth and education, they always move away from the darkness and ignorance of religion and towards the enlightenment and reason of atheism. I thought "once you've had Marx, you never go back." This seems to be going in reverse in China.

I think you should move there. Now...

I wish you'd never move again, ever.

LMAO.

Hillary the Preacher. She would fit right in with all the prosperity gospel preachers out there.

Must be from the Onion.

After a Rev. Hillary sermon, they would a Brink's truck to bring back the collection plate.

Bill was the preacher, but she learned a little from him over the years. Both of them are rotten to the core. This was my song dedicated to Hillary on Trump's election day.

Attention Prof, Sardis, and the rest of you Medieval religious morons - don't be alarmed, the sun will come back this afternoon.

You should've told them that you were going to make the sun disappear today b/c they had angered you. By 4:30 they would've been worshiping you as a god...

Shut up you fucking idiot

Trump is probably going to blame this on North Korea and launch a nuke...

Drove up to the Tennessee-Georgia line to watch and record the totality while chanting Psalm 104. It was great.

Would have been a good time for you to visit Pyongyang...
