Been thinking about this lately. The older I get and more life I experience the more clear this thought becomes.
**Most of what we love about living in America is thanks to the cultural consequences of the Christian faith.**
Not *Democracy*, not the *Constitution*, not *Capitalism*. The crumbling that we see around us at its root is caused by a massive turn away from God, our faith, and our traditions. Families are the next layer and the destruction of the family is predicated by the obsession with self. The idolization of our own wisdom, knowledge, and desires over the humble realization that God's riches are far greater than any carnal pleasure we might desire. As C.S. Lewis wrote
> "It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased."
― C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory, and Other Addresses
I think more and more people are seeing these things, counting the cost, and returning to faith and tradition. As followers of Jesus it is not a time to be discouraged but rather look up to our hope and be beacons of truth and love.

Why Pam Bondi’s Epstein Client List Narrative Is A Complete Lie - Matt Walsh
Walsh who is a pretty big Trump supporter from what I've seen did a really good job calling out Bondi and as well as Trump for this completely insane joke of an response to the Epstein case. Why are you posting about this again @kepford?
Well, I was driving to a restaurant and had the radio on. The news report played a clip of Trump responding to the criticism he's receiving about all this. Its absolutely absurd. He's calling it all a democrat plot. This is absurd as the Russia collusion conspiracy theory that was used against Trump. Wait... its way worse. At least that was from his opponents and this was something he promised and many of his lackeys promised over and over again.
What's worse is according to the report the case on Epstein has been closed... Is that right? Its closed? Where are all the arrests? These hundreds (according to Bondi) of victims were abused by who? One guy? Really? I mean, reports have been around for a long time that its over 2,000 victims.
Guys, I don't care if Epstein killed himself or if he was murdered. What I do care about is all of the victims who will never see a bit of justice. I don't think we will ever see a single elite held to account. To be clear, I never thought we would... but many of you that supported Trump did think this. Its likely a factor in people voting for the orange man.
What message does this send to the elite scum that abuse people? You will be protected. That's the message. Keep abusing your power. This is dark but its the only conclusion that makes sense to me. This sure isn't justice. This isn't law and order. Its protecting predators. Remember when the Trump supporters were calling out grooming? Yeah, where are they now? This all just disgusts me.
There are all kinds of theories on what is really going on but you know what... I don't care. This is complete BS. Everyone knows it. Trump knows it, and his admin knows it. I see this as a turning point. Will the public that support this man actually show integrity and hold him to account? I'm not optimistic. The Trump fans I know are pretty quiet about all this. Its pathetic.
On a brighter side its nice to see someone like Matt Walsh actually speaking up. There are others that supported the Donald that are as well but its not nearly enough in my opinion.
I chalk this up as yet another example of their being two classes in the US. It isn't the red and blue. Its us and them. The owners of the country are a small group and we ain't in it. I love America but I despise the state. Trump is showing himself to _be_ the swamp. I hope more people realize this.

Just occured to me that more people are offended by fake writing and content inflation (AI Slop) than monetary inflation.
If you disagree I'd recommend you talk to more normies.

I think many will find this conversation interesting. They discuss more than Christianity but Bob is the perfect guy to discuss Stefan's position on Christianity as he was once a devout atheist.

When you have a bad day because you feel dumb. Just realize there are people who think bitcoin is only worth 109k... You could be dumber.

What I see 99% of time in Bitcoin culture is ego. It's not logic. There are a few exceptions but most of the arguments and disagreements are mostly proud men with huge egos wanting to be right. There are exceptions but over and over again these beefs come down to ego, not problem solving and arriving at consensus.
