"It is not commonly known that Charles Darwin and his father Erasmus Darwin were classicists, who were educated in the writings and philosophies of ancient Greece, especially. Evolution as we know it today was already articulated by Aeschylus and others by the third century BC. Modern materialism is merely a revival of Epicureanism."
-- Ken Griffith

"And before Epicureanism, there was the Atomism of Democritus. He saw everything in Universe as the outcome of the shocking of the atoms - the indivisible particles. His system was entirely materialistic as well deterministic. The interesting thing is that, as in modern deterministic thought, human freedom and moral responsibility was denied - since every human act, too, was the outcome of reactions of the atoms."
-- Damasceno Bispo Damasceno Ribeiro

"There is nothing new under the sun."
-- King Solomon

Dems & Biden Administration Promote Transgender Mutilation of Children

Yeah, yeah, squall about it all you want, but that’s exactly what the Democratic Party is, if you take seriously the Biden Administration’s newly released guidelines on health care for trans youth. Take a look:

"You see, the reason Jesus wasn't the sort of king people had wanted in his own day is--to anticipate our conclusion--that he _was_ the true king, but they had become used to the ordinary, shabby, second-rate sort.
They were looking for a builder to construct the home they thought they wanted, but he was the architect, coming with a new plan that would give them everything they needed, but within quite a new framework.
They were looking for a singer to sing the song they had been humming for a long time, but he was the composer, bringing them a new song to which the old songs they knew would form, at best, the background music. He was the king, all right, but he had come to redefine kingship itself around his own work, his own mission, his own fate." (Simply Jesus, N.T. Wright, p. 5)
H/T Fr Gregory Roy Jensen

Today's Reading

The Gospel According to John 17:1-13

At that time, Jesus lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him power over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work which you gave me to do; and now, Father, you glorify me in your own presence with the glory which I had with you before the world was made.

"I have manifested your name to the men whom you gave me out of the world; yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you; for I have given them the words which you gave me, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you did send me. I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are mine; all mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me; I have guarded them, and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to you; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves."

Really? Ну тогда попытайся если хватит ума и сердца поставить себя на место тех украинцев, кого вы путлеры обрекли на мучения и страдания, чьи дома разрушены до основания, чьи города разгромлены вашими бомбами, кто скитается по подвалам и подземельям от ваших варварских бомбежек, спасая свою жизнь или вынужден убегать под пулями и бомбежками в чужие им страны. Пожелай себе всего этого и ответь честно хотела бы ты быть на их месте??

The West is Intentionally Seeking to Destroy the Orthodox Church, Says Russian Foreign Minister.

"It is incumbent upon us to protect the rights of Christians and especially of the Orthodox. I mean Orthodoxy in particular, because unfortunately, in recent years, at the initiative of the US, cunningly manipulating the Patriarch of Constantinople, a course has been taken to destroy Orthodoxy."
