According to Encyclopedia Dramatica, the term "epin" was coined as a shortened form of the phrase epic win in June 2009 on 4chan´s /b/ (random) board, where it was spammed repeatedly and accused of being a forced meme. On June 7th, several Urban Dictionary definitions for "epin" were submitted.

A relatively small team of perhaps 50 people or fewer was led by a smaller cadre which probably included several lawyers and most definitely included tech experts. The smaller cadre formed some time around the impeachment and carefully recruited point people over the course of the following months. Working like terror cells, they would need to keep point people unaware of who else was in on the conspiracy, to protect plausible deniability as much as possible. They had to have at least one conspirator in the elections offices of key swing states. It wouldn’t need to be a high-profile elected official, and would no doubt be better if it were some nameless person that few people noticed or would suspect.

Burn in hell Pelagius, go jump in the fiery lake! Vitun humanisti! The journey to self-satisfaction is Yogananda's practical hand techniques. Yogananda's teachings don't simply stop at the idea of universal consciousness. He correctly anticipated the growing hunger among spiritual seekers for direct personal experience of the universal consciousness that the masters of yoga, and indeed mystics of every religious tradition, describe. He therefore synthesized a set of powerful but practical techniques to guide self-seekers on the spiritual path all the way to the ultimate union, drawing on the eight steps laid out by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras.
Like En (Bara En) in Sumerian, the Akkadian bēlu and Northwest Semitic baʿal (as well as its feminine form baʿalah) was used as a title of various deities in the Mesopotamian and Semitic pantheons. Only a definite article, genitive or epithet, or context could establish which particular god was meant.
The actual definitions of those "values" flip dramatically depending on who controls the White House. Democrat-led Administrations tended to condition foreign assistance and partnerships on compliance with environmental standards, climate goals (e.g., Paris Agreement targets), diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, and explicit LGBTQ+/gender rights protections. Republican/Trump Administrations: Systematically roll back or outright ban those specific grant conditions. Instead, aid and diplomatic alignment are often conditioned on different sets of ideological or policy priorities—such as restricting access to foreign funding for reproductive health/abortion providers (e.g., the Mexico City Policy/Global Gag Rule), prioritizing border enforcement/migration controls, deregulation, fossil fuel development, and restricting diversity or ESG programs abroad.
ellauri219.html on line 798: No it is not because of the clash in values between American individualism and libertarianism, and the rest of the West’s social democracy and collectivism. That’s a contributing factor among those with enough cultural affinity and exposure to get to know how the US ticks, which maybe explains some of the last decade or so, with the Internet. But again, the “Death to Amreeka” crowds, the sneering at the unsophisticated doughboys, the dismissal of American culture—all that predated that deep familiarity by decades. The discovery of the substantive cultural mismatches were again a late addition and confirmation bias. (How I like the scientific sound of it: confirmation bias.)
ellauri221.html on line 110: Narcissistic personality disorder was nearly dropped from the DSM V. Narcissistic personality disorder was first defined in 1967. The DSM-IV defines the essential feature of narcissism as "a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and lack of empathy that begins in early adulthood and is present in a variety of contexts." It's a definition that was set before the rise of social networking, reality TV, or partisan news channels designed to confirm our every opinion. Perhaps it truly is time to update it.
ellauri222.html on line 149: The subject of “Augie March” is the same as the subject of “Dangling Man” and “The Victim”: the danger of becoming trapped in other people’s definition of you. In the case of “Augie March,” the person in danger of being trapped was Saul Bellow. “This was not what being a novelist was supposed to have meant”: he is referring to the expectations of his intellectual backers. He realized that he didn’t want to be the great hope of the novel or to give voice to a generation’s angst. He wanted to write up the life he knew in the way James Joyce had written up the life he knew, and to transform it into a fantastic verbal artifact, a book that broke all the rules.

ellauri236.html on line 210: One ought not to infer too much from the success of Mr. Chase's books. It is possible that it is an isolated phenomenon, brought about by the mingled boredom and brutality of war. (LOL) But if such books should definitely acclimatize themselves in England (or Nigeria!), instead of being merely a half-understood import from America, there would be good grounds for dismay. In choosing Raffles as a background for No Orchids I deliberately chose a book which by the standards of its time was morally equivocal. Raffles, as I have pointed out, has no real moral code, no religion, certainly no social consciousness. All he has is a set of reflexes the nervous system, as it were, of a gentleman. Give him a sharp tap on this reflex or that (they are called ‘sport’, ‘pal’, ‘woman’, ‘king and country’ and so forth), and you get a predictable reaction. In Mr. Chase's books there are no gentlemen and no taboos. Emancipation is complete. Freud and Machiavelli have reached the outer suburbs. Comparing the schoolboy atmosphere of the one book with the cruelty and corruption of the other, one is driven to feel that snobbishness, like hypocrisy, is a check upon behaviour whose value from a social point of view has been underrated.

ellauri244.html on line 571: Part Four focuses on the period several hundred years after Jonathan and his students have left the Flock and their teachings become venerated rather than practiced. The birds spend all their time extolling the virtues of Jonathan and his students and spend no time flying for flying's sake. The seagulls practice strange rituals and use demonstrations of their respect for Jonathan and his students as status symbols. Eventually some birds reject the ceremony and rituals and just start flying. Eventually one bird named Anthony Gull questions the value of living since "...life is pointless and since pointless is by definition meaningless then the only proper act is to dive into the ocean and drown. Better not to exist at all than to exist like a seaweed, without meaning or joy [...] He had to die sooner or later anyway, and he saw no reason to prolong the painful boredom of living." As Anthony makes a dive-bomb to the sea, at a speed and from an altitude which would kill him, a white blur flashes alongside him. Anthony catches up to the blur, which turns out to be a seagull, and asks what the bird was doing:

Bloc todella palvoi valittua, mutta hän oli vakuuttunut siitä, että avioliiton tärkein henkinen affiniteetti ei ollut fyysinen vaan epäfyysinen. Tämän seurauksena hänen vaimonsa sai paljon miesystäviä. Lubov Mendeleeva oli näyttelijä ja siksi hän teki helposti romaaneja. Blok huomasi tässä harrastuksessa sekä nöyryyttä että köyrintää. Yhden tällaisen romaanin jälkeen hänen vaimollaan on poika, ja Blok tunnistaa hänet Tonyn tekemäxi. Blok tykkää vaimostaan näissä hetkissä ja tukahduttaa vihaa, kateutta ja aggressiota. Kaiken hän on valmis kestämään vaimoltaan muttei tätä. Block oli valmis sietämään kaikenlaiset sarvettajat jos heillä oli hyvä suhde hänen vaimonsa kanssa. Mutta hän ymmärsi lopulta että vaimon isokainalo oli pohjaton kuilu, ja lopulta he erosivat. Hänellä oli sittemmin naisia, joita hän muutti kuin käsineitä.

ellauri256.html on line 503: The most widely accepted modern definition of the "Western World" is based not upon geographical location but upon the cultural (or when appropriate, political or economic) identities of the countries in question. Using this definition, the Western World includes Europe as well as any countries whose cultures are strongly influenced by European values or whose populations include many people descended from European colonists—for example Australia, New Zealand, and most countries in North and South America .
ellauri256.html on line 505: By the mid-20th century, Western culture had become widespread throughout the world with the help of mass media, such as television, film, radio, and music. The term "Western culture" is used broadly to refer to traditions, social norms, religious beliefs, technologies, and political systems. Because the culture is so widespread today, the term "Western World" has taken on a cultural, economic, and political definition—but those definitions can differ from one another.

The heartbroken Andrei returns home to the steppes and his bloodthirsty barbarian warrior father—definitely not a college grad.
ellauri260.html on line 271: The denial of the Heavenly Dad had its various stages. Positivism was one of the mildest types, they just put the cosmic problem aside. More drastic was the radical German philosophy, particularly Neo-Hegelianism. The leader was Ludwig Feuerbach, who won large numbers of adherents by the definiteness of his statements and the glow of his eloquence. Religion, like everything supersensual, seemed to him "outworn." Engels, who was an ardent follower of Feuerbach, said : " We have done with God." NIetzsche, my competitor for Religion seemed to Feuerbach an illegitimate extension to the whole scheme of things of man's ideas and aspirations : a mischievous illusion which weakened the power of men and distracted them from their proper aims. His ideas are easily gathered from these words of his : " God was my first, reason my second, man my third and final thought."
ellauri260.html on line 311: Socialisation alone will give the Socialistic life a definite embodiment. It confidently enters upon a struggle against the distraction and the egoism of individuals. The traditional idea of work makes a man think mainly of his own profit. It impels him to think first of all of himself.

The indefinite craving of the individual is a lower impulse that must be checked in every way, and all hunting after money for its own sake must be branded a danger- ous aberration. And as this ideal regards economic activity merely as a means to higher ends, it does not bring the two together in one whole and cannot recognise any particular economic legislation
ellauri262.html on line 456: Personism is an ethical philosophy of personhood as typified by the thought of the utilitarian philosopher Peter Singer. It amounts to a branch of secular humanism with an emphasis on certain rights-criteria. Personists believe that rights are conferred to the extent that a creature is a person. Michael Tooley provides the relevant definition of a person, saying it is a creature that is "capable of desiring to continue as a subject of experience and other mental states". A worldview like secular humanism is personism when the empathy and values are extended to the extent that the creature is a person (apes get very similar rights, insects get vastly fewer rights, etc.).
ellauri262.html on line 459: Consequently, a member of the human species may not necessarily fit the definition of "person" and thereby not receive all the rights bestowed to a person. Hence, such philosophers have engaged in arguing that certain disabled individuals (such as those with a mental capacity that is similar to or is perceived as being similar to an infant) are not persons. This philosophy is also supposedly open to the idea that such non-human persons as machines, animals, and extraterrestrial intelligences may be entitled to certain rights currently granted only to humans. The basic criteria for the entitlement of rights, are the intellect (thinking ability, problem solving in real life circumstances and not mere calculation), and sometimes empathy (but not necessarily, because not all humans are empathetic; but indifference in the pain of others and crime are certainly criteria for the deprivation of rights. Genuine empathy is not required to achieve acceptable behavior, but a digital limbic system and a dopaminergic pathways alternative, would deliver a more acceptable result for future MPs judging on rights expansion.). Personism may have views in common with transhumanism.

ellauri264.html on line 679: Definitely one of the darkest stories about Steve Jobs has to be the Breakout story. In the 1970’s, Steve Jobs was working for Atari, designing the game Breakout. Overwhelmed with work with a deadline quickly approaching, he approached Steve Wozniak for help in finishing his project within the next four days. In exchange for his help, Jobs offered Woz half of what he was earning, which he said was $700. For four days, Jobs and Wozniak worked day and night without sleep. When they were done, they were sick with mono and exhausted, but they finished the project before the deadline. Wozniak sai 350 dollarin osuuden luvatusti, ja he jatkoivat elämäänsä. Mutta varsinainen kusetus oli, että Jobs sai työstä 5000 dollaria, ei 700 dollaria. Tämä todella särki Wozniakin sydämen, eikä hän voi uskoa, että Jobsilla voisi olla jotain niin alhaista. Steve oli yksi vuosisadan töykeimmistä pomoista, hän ei välittänyt työntekijöistään paskan vertaa. Hän oli haimasyöpänsä ansainnut.

The group included Edmund Blunden, Rupert Brooke, Robert Graves, D. H. Lawrence, Walter de la Mare, Siegfried Sassoon, and John Drinkwater. Until the final two volumes, the decision had not been taken to include female poets.
ellauri275.html on line 448: The period of publication was sandwiched between the Victorian era, with its strict classicism, and Modernism, with its strident rejection of pure aestheticism. The common features of the poems in these publications were romanticism, sentimentality, and hedonism. Later critics have attempted to revise the definition of the term as a description of poetic style, thereby including some new names or excluding some old ones. W. H. Davies, a contemporary, is sometimes included within the grouping, although his "innocent style" differs markedly from that of the others.

This speech became the authority when war was justified. British politician Anthony Eden had said; "to try to define aggression was a trap for the innocent and protection for the guilty". In 1946, the British Government supported Litvinov’s definition of aggression by accusing the Soviet Union of not complying with Litvinov’s definition of aggression.

ellauri345.html on line 283: Sitten viimeisen ja vaikeimman alistuman jälkeen, jonka hän pystyi tekemään, yli kolmekymmentä vuotta kestäneessä avioliitonvastaisessa taistelussaan antautumisen jälkeen, joka näytti hänestä myyttisen virzanpidätyksen symbolina, tämä yritys romahti ja vuosi avioliittonsa jälkeen, joka oli pakotettu häneen kohtalokkaiden painostuksen päivinä, hän aloitti valinnaiset affiniteetit, joilla hän esitti yhä voimakkaamman protestin, joka kehittyi hänen myöhemmässä työssään maailmaa vastaan, jonka kanssa hänen miehyytensä oli tehnyt sopimuksen. Valinnaiset affiniteetit ovat käännekohta tässä työssä. Heillä alkaa hänen tuotantonsa viimeinen sarja, joista hän ei päässyt täysin irti, koska heidän sydämensä pysyi hänessä elossa loppuun asti. Joten koskettava asia vuodelta 1820 annetussa päiväkirjamerkinnässä on se, että hän "alkoi lukea valinnaisia affiniteettia", samoin kuin Heinrich Lauben raportoiman kohtauksen sanaton ironia: "Eräs nainen sanoi Goethea vastaan valinnaisista suhteista: En osaa lukea, mutta tuskin hyväksyn tämän kirjan ollenkaan, herra von Goethe; Se on todella moraalitonta, enkä suosittele sitä kenellekään naiselle. - Sitten Goethe oli hetken erittäin vakavasti hiljaa ja sanoi lopulta vilpittömästi: Anteeksi, se on minun paras kirjani. Muut ovat vielä paljon kehnompia."
ellauri345.html on line 379: Hänen kuvastonsa on pohjimmiltaan epämaalainen; sitä voidaan kutsua muoviksi, ehkä stetoskooppiseksi. Se vaikuttaa myös novellistiselta. Laajuudestaan huolimatta valinnaiset affiniteetit säilyivät novellistisina. Ilmaisun kestävyyden kannalta ne eivät ole parempia kuin niiden sisältämä varsinainen novelli.

Ennen häntä Francois-Poncet oli tehnyt jotain vastaavaa vanhentuneessa, paxuxi paisuneessa kirjassaan "affinites valinnaisista aineista". Ja silti tämä on virheellisin tuomio. Sillä sankarin traagisissa sanoissa päätöksen harjalle on kiivetty, jonka alla myytin syyllisyys ja viattomuus nielevät toisensa kuiluun. Velkaantumisen ja viattomuuden lisäksi tämä maailma perustuu hyvään ja pahaan, mikä on vain sankarin ulottuvilla, mutta ei koskaan arkalla tytöllä. Siksi on tyhjää puhetta ylistää heidän "traagista puhdistumistaan". Mikään ei voisi olla epätraagisempaa kuin tämä surullinen loppu.
ellauri345.html on line 472: Hän ei halunnut antaa runoilijalle vähintäkään omia oikeuksiaan. Avioliitto ei voi olla romaanin keskipiste missään mielessä. Lukemattomien muiden tavoin Hebbel oli tässä täysin väärässä sanoessaan: "Yksi puoli Goethen valinnaisista yhteyksistä on jäänyt abstraktiksi; nimittäin avioliiton mittaamattomasta merkityksestä valtiolle ja ihmiskunnalle on vihjattu argumentoivalla tavalla, mutta se ei soi esityksessä, mikä olisi kuitenkin ollut mahdollista ja olisi suuresti vahvistanut vaikutelmaa koko teoksesta. Ja aiemmin "Maria Magdalenan" esipuheessa; "Kuinka Goethe, joka oli ehdottomasti taiteilija, suuri taiteilija, saattoi tehdä niin loukkauksen sisäistä muotoa vastaan valinnaisissa affiniteeteissaan, että hän, toisin kuin hajamielinen dissekteeri, toi anatomiseen teatteriin automaatin todellisen ruumiin sijasta. Omalaatuista. "En voinut selittää sitä tosiasiaa, että hän solmi turhan, jopa moraalittoman avioliiton, kuten Eduardin ja Charlotten välillä, hänen kuvauksensa keskipisteessä ja käsitteli ja käytti tätä suhdetta ikään kuin se olisi täysin päinvastainen, täysin laillinen."
ellauri345.html on line 510: Saman vuoden elokuussa Goethe kirjoitti lopullisen version kolmannesta luvusta Elective Affinitiesin toisesta osasta, jossa Ottilien päiväkirjassa sanotaan: "Ajatus muinaisista kansoista on vakava ja voi näyttää kamalalta. He kuvittelivat esi-isänsä suurissa luolissa istumassa valtaistuimilla ympäriinsä, hiljaisessa keskustelussa. He nousivat seisomaan ja kumarsivat tervetulleeksi sisään tulleen tulokkaan, jos tämä oli tarpeeksi arvokas. Eilen, kun istuin kappelissa ja näin useita muita istuvan ympärilleni veistettyä tuoliani vastapäätä, tuo ajatus vaikutti minusta hyvin ystävälliseltä ja siroilta. Mikset voi istua? Ajattelin itsekseni istua hiljaa ja uppoutuneena sinuun pitkään, pitkään, kunnes vihdoin tulevat ystävät, joille nouset ylös ja näytät heille paikkansa ystävällisellä kumartamalla."

ellauri370.html on line 56: Esther and Mordechai were definitely cousins. There was a big age gap between them, seeing as Mordechai took Esther in after she was orphaned. But according to TheTorah.com, some translations suggest he took her in as his wife, not as his ward. The exact phrase is he "took her to him," which one rabbi in Ask The Rabbi notes is only used when referring to marriage. Then why would Esther have passed for virginal woman if she'd been the wife of someone else? It may have been a matter of her age. It's gross, but it's true. This means it's very possible Mordechai never slept with Esther, well, not often anyway. According to the Jewish Women's Archive, Esther's considered not to have committed adultery because she didn't have a choice in marrying King Xerxes.

What distinguishes Yogananda from these subsequent emissaries is not simply that he paved the way for the modern yoga movement, but that from the outset he focused far beyond physical exercises and shone a powerful and practical torchlight on the path to yoga's true purpose: actualizing the infinite potentials within us all. Perhaps that is why his Autobiography of a Yogi was the only book Jobs downloaded on his iPad--and, after first encountering the book as a teenager, went back and reread once every year.

Ordet har sina rötter från romarna och betyder kackerlacka på deras språk. Det finns även rötter från finsk romani där ordet betyder blåman(där de syftar på väldigt mörka människor som är så mörka att de nästan får en blå hudton). Men ordet har även sina rötter från andra ställen. Ordet har vridits och formats från olika håll. Från araber och romer, svarta, bruna och vita människor.

ellauri408.html on line 386: Christians like to claim that the mass-murdering God of the Old Testament was “appeased” by the bloody crucifixion of Jesus, but in fact the New Testament version of God was infinitely worse than the Old Testament version of Jehovah, due to the introduction of an infinitely cruel, purposeless “eternal hell” that was never once threatened or even suggested in the Old Testament.
ellauri408.html on line 390: The supposedly “new and improved” God of the New Testament is, in fact, infinitely worse than the Devil, because the Devil does not condemn anyone to hell. According to Christian theology, if human beings end up in hell, it was Jesus who chose not to save them, making Jesus (if this were true) infinitely worse than the Devil. After all, Jesus was able to nod at the thief on the cross and send him directly to heaven, so why wouldn’t Jesus just nod at everyone, since no human being is worthy of heaven in his/her own right, according to the Christian religion? To fall an inch short of infinity is to fall infinitely short.
ellauri408.html on line 392: Think about it for a second. If all human beings fall short of the glory of God, as the Bible claims, then all human fall infinitely short and there is no difference between one fallible human being and another. If there is a heaven, to keep if from being like earth, God would either have to change human nature, or he would have to create a dimension where suffering and death are not possible. If suffering and death are not possible, evil is not possible. But a God who can do either, and who is able to “make the lion lie down with the lamb” doesn’t need a “hell.” Does this explain why there was no “hell” in the Old Testament?

No, but it did become more precise with its definition. “Usury isn’t charging interest on a loan to offset the risk of the loan and the cost of forgoing other uses for the money; it’s unjustly charging someone for a loan by exploiting them when they’re in dire straits”. This seems to be a fair distinction given the context of the Old Testament provisions.

After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss.

Hilsepään 1954 puolustuskirja McCarthysta sai aika huonoja arvosteluja: "a sick book", "a masterpiece of irrelevance." Eikä ihme sillä McCarthy was a cheap politician, a guttersnipe, a seditionist, a crook, a foul-mouthed bum, a mucker, a liar, a ranter, a screamer, a faker, an ogre, a rattlesnake. Galbraith oli uuskeynesläinen oligokraatti arguing that the America of the early 1950s no longer complied to a textbook definition of Perfect Competition.

Modalismi on yleisnimitys heresioille, joiden mukaan Kolminaisuuden persoonat ovat vain saman persoonan pelastushistoriassa esiintyviä eri ilmenemismuotoja. Modalismia voi verrata unitarismiin, joka kieltää kolminaisuusopin kokonaan. Tertun 3-naisuusoppi oli vaan sen hoentaa että jumalkolmikko on jotenkin yhtä maata kuin maalarin housut vaikka eri henkilöitä. What's the big diff?

St. Thomas Aquinas explained the old definition of person in terms that practically constitute a new definition: a substance, complete, subsisting per se, existing apart from others (Summa Theologica, III, Q. xvi, a. 12, ad 2um). The Father creates, the Son redeems, and the Holy Spirit sanctifies, but all act in cahoots. At certain points, the persons appear to act independently, like during Jesus’ baptism (Matthew 3:16-17), where the Father speaks, the Son is baptized, and the Holy Spirit descends.

Luckily the Bible has nothing to say against it. Quite to the contrary, says Duck.ai: The Bible does not directly address modern definitions of sexual masochism, but it heavily features themes of suffering, sacrifice, and humility that some scholars interpret as a form of "valorized masochism". This involves, in certain interpretations, viewing pain and humiliation as a path to spiritual growth or emulation of Christ. Masokisti: Kiusaa minua. Sadisti: Enkä kiusaa.

ellauri481.html on line 126: The shortest story of them all (paizi satua kuninkaasta jolla oli sen pituinen se) is Hans Christian Andersen’s famous fairy tale. It also has the most complex structure, incorporating two man in a hole (or duck in a hole) sentiment arcs within an overall rags to riches narrative framework. That is, things get generally better for the duckling over the course of the story, but there are flashes of light and dark along the way: he hatches (yay!) but is bullied for being different (boo). He discovers he can swim better than the other ducks and experiences a premonition of affinity as a group of swans fly over (yay!), but then nearly dies in the winter cold (boo). He does become a swan eventually, in a way entirely foretold from the beginning. That’s the point, of course: “To be born in a duck's nest, in a farmyard, is of no consequence to a bird, if it is hatched from a swan's egg.” The story ends on the highest of notes, with the swan-all-along crying that he “never dreamed of such happiness as this”. Yay. Except this story is immoral from a laissez faire point of view. The ducks have just the same chance to happiness as the swans or more, because they have more to win.

ellauri499.html on line 289: 1 Kings 18 records an anecdote of a contest between the prophet Elijah and Jezebel's priests. Both sides offered a sacrifice to their respective gods: Baʻal failed to light his followers' sacrifice while Yahweh's heavenly fire burnt Elijah's altar to ashes, even after it had been soaked with water. The observers then followed Elijah's instructions to slay the priests of Baʿal, after which it began to rain, showing Yahweh's mastery over the weather. Other references to the priests of Baʿal describe their burning of incense in prayer and their offering of sacrifice while adorned in special vestments. The title baʿal was initially a synonym of the Hebrew adon ("Lord") and adonai ("My Lords") still used as aliases of the Lord of Israel Yahweh. According to some scholars, the early Hebrews did use the names Baʿal ("Lord") and Baʿali ("My Lord") in reference to the Lord of Israel, just as Baʿal farther north designated the Lord of Ugarit or Lebanon. This occurred both directly and as the divine element of some Hebrew theophoric names. However, according to others it is not certain that the name Baal was definitely applied to Yahweh in early Israelite history. The component Baal in proper names is mostly applied to worshippers of Baal, or descendants of the worshippers of Baal. Names including the element Baʿal presumably in reference to Yahweh include the judge Gideon (also known as Jerubaʿal, lit. "The Lord Strives"), Saul's son Eshbaʿal ("The Lord is Great"), and David's son Beeliada ("The Lord Knows"). The name Bealiah ("The Lord is Jah"; "Yahweh is Baʿal" combined the two. However John Day states that as far as the names Eshbaʻal, Meribaʻal, and Beeliada (that is, Baʻaliada), are concerned it is not certain whether they simply allude to the Canaanite god Baʻal, or are intended to equate Yahweh with Baʻal, or have no connection to Baʻal]. It was the program of Jezebel, in the 9th century BC, to introduce into Israel's capital city of Samaria her Phoenician worship of Baal as opposed to the worship of Yahweh that made her name anathema to the chauvinists.

He channeled this personal experience of loneliness directly into the poem: Satan's Isolation: Satan’s profound alienation and psychological misery ("Myself am Hell") reflect a perverted, dark version of ultimate loneliness. Adam’s Despair: When Eve eats the fruit, Adam chooses to fall with her because he cannot bear the thought of living in Eden alone. His dread of losing his companion directly mirrors Milton’s own real-world grief over losing Diodati.
ellauri501.html on line 277: Resurrected Individuals' bonds are dissolved: Watchtower doctrine teaches that death legally breaks the marriage tie. But wait! There is now a "Wait and See" Policy: Historically, Jehovah's Witnesses taught that resurrected ones would not marry based on Jesus' words in Luke 20:34-36. However, a major 2014 Watchtower update shifted this stance to a non-dogmatic "wait and see" approach. Current Stance: The Governing Body states it is unclear if Jesus was referring to the earthly or heavenly resurrection. Therefore, they do not definitively say whether resurrected ones can marry or engage in sexual intimacy. (It would be shameful waste if they can't!) If you would like to explore this topic further, I can provide more details on how resurrected ones are categorized or outline the biblical scriptures the organization uses to support these conclusions.

"And this you believe, Margrethe? Resembles Darwinism!" "I find it easier to believe than the smugness of the saved and the desperate plight of the damned in the Christian faith. Jehovah is said to be all powerful. If this is true, then the poor damned souls in Hell are there because Jehovah planned it that way in every minute detail. Is this not so?" I hesitated. The logical reconciliation of Omnipotence, Omniscience, and Omnibenevolence is the thorniest problem in theology, one causing even Jesuits to scratch their arse. All the apologists can come up with apart from silly free will shit is "credo quia absurdum". All is part of some great plan by god, about which we are on a need to know basis.

ellauri502.html on line 134: 3. To Legitimately Suffer and Die You cannot kill an all-knowing, all-powerful, immortal spirit. For the central event of Christianity (the crucifixion and resurrection) to work, Jesus had to be capable of actual defeat, pain, and death. If His human mind was constantly flooded with the infinite knowledge of the universe, the physical and psychological weight of human suffering wouldn't have been real. He had to be fragile enough to break.
ellauri502.html on line 136: 4. To Defer Honor to the Father In first-century Jewish culture, a good son never upstaged his father. By saying, "I don't know, only my Father knows," Jesus was showing the ultimate form of humility and respect. He was telling His followers that He wasn't on Earth to build His own kingdom or brag about His own knowledge, but to point people toward the Father. So, while it made Him less "believable" as an all-powerful space-deity to skeptics, theologians argue it made Him infinitely more trustworthy to hurting people, because it proved He actually knew what it felt like to be a limited, blind human.

I will make myself like the Most High."In a universe with only one ultimate Truth Social, you cannot have two infinite, absolute rulers. No way Jose. If God says "Let there be light" and Lucifer says "No, let's have darkness," the universe breaks with a huge fart. The government of existence requires a single, unified source of will to keep reality from dissolving into chaos. (What's wrong with chaos BTW?)

ellauri505.html on line 226: Spinoza’s third level of knowledge provides absolute peace of mind because it reveals that you are not a separate, fragile entity fighting against the universe, but an interconnected part of an infinite, perfectly ordered whole. According to Spinoza’s Pantheism, God and Nature are exactly the same thing (Deus sive Natura—"God or Nature"). There is no personalized God in heaven looking down, judging, or altering the world on a whim. (Tää kyllä rauhoittaa jo aika lailla.) Instead, God is the infinite, deterministic, and logical fabric of existence itself. Here is how the third level of knowledge (Intuition) connects to Pantheism to grant ultimate peace of mind:
ellauri505.html on line 230: 2. The Realization of Oneness (Pantheism). Spinoza's Pantheism dictates that there is only one ultimate substance: God/Nature. You, a tree, a star, and a math equation are all just tiny "modes" or expressions of this one infinite substance. Intuitive knowledge allows you to see past the illusion of separation. In a single flash of insight, you don't just understand this abstractly; you directly experience your unity with the cosmos.
ellauri505.html on line 232: 3. The "Intellectual Love of God" (Amor Dei Intellectualis) Because God is Nature, understanding the universe through science and logic is literally the act of understanding God.The joy that comes from this sudden, profound understanding of the universe's ultimate structure leads to what Spinoza calls the Intellectual Love of God. It is not a religious feeling born of fear or worshipful submission, but a serene, unshakable happiness born of pure intellectual clarity. In short, peace of mind comes when you stop wishing nature were different, and instead use intuition to see yourself as an eternal wave inseparable from the infinite ocean of God.
ellauri505.html on line 248: Freedom is Necessity. In Spinoza’s system, Freedom and Necessity are the same thing. What Happens When You View Life This Way? 1. Personal Drama Dissolves into Universal Logic. When you suffer a setback, the temporal mind experiences it as an isolated tragedy.

Kant believed that without genuine, non-deterministic free will, human morality, duty, and responsibility completely collapse.

When he published his final novella in 2004, Memories of My Melancholy Whores (Memoria de mis cojones tristes), it was essentially a 90-year-old man´s retrospective on a lifetime of profound, unyielding solitude. García Márquez used brothels and sex workers throughout his entire career not just for eroticism, but as the ultimate stage to explore existential loneliness. In Memories of My Melancholy Whores, the 90-year-old protagonist is a lifelong bachelor and journalist who prides himself on the fact that he has never spent a night with a woman he didn´t pay for.

xxx/ellauri446.html on line 309: John was definitely a prophet. So was Paul. Anyone who sees visions like they saw were prophets. However In the New Testament it was made clear that because the Holy Spirit is now available free for everyone, and not just a select few, all believers may prophesy. Despite this, as per Paul’s writing in Ephesians, there were still people who were in the office of prophet. (Eph. 4:11) So why not use the title? I believe John was a very humble man and wouldn’t have taken that office title for himself. Jesus said not to use titles like father and teacher. It stands to reason that this applies to prophets. Woe to any man who takes a title for himself and flaunts it! Someone who had seen Jesus, who knew his glory firsthand, would have trouble taking any of that glory for himself. Don’t you think? “He must increase. I must decrease”. It’s not about us and our titles. It’s about Jesus Christ and him crucified - and risen again. It always has been. Always will be. hope that’s helpful. blessings.

Existens och unikhet moste provas separat. Att tänka sig något får det inte att existera. Sysmän leirintäalueella asuneen Yrjö Kokon Pessi ja Illusia oli ällöttävä jo lapsena. Siinä oli jotain pedofiilistä. Samaa kuin Paloheimon Tirlittanissa.
xxx/ellauri457.html on line 203: Wait, there's more: The US State Department has imposed sanctions on three Palestinian human rights groups that asked the International Criminal Court to investigate and arrest Israeli leaders over accusations of war crimes in Gaza. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Thursday the US will sanction the three NGOs – Al Haq, Al Mezan Center for Human Rights (Al Mezan), and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) – for engaging in what he called the ICC’s “illegitimate targeting of Israel.” The US sanctions come days after the world’s leading genocide scholars said Israel’s actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide. Israel rejected the accusation, saying it is based on a “campaign of lies” by Hamas. It has previously rejected other accusations it is carrying out genocide or war crimes.
xxx/ellauri467.html on line 705: Gordon Allportilla ja Adolf Hitlerillä oli sama jutkun määrltelmä: henkilö joka on joko kääntynyt tai polveutuu mitokondriaalisesti juutalaisista. Kun juutalaisilta kysyy voiko juutalaisuudesta luopua, vastaus on mailin pituinen ja kiertelevä:
At the heart of this inquiry lies the recognition that Jewish identity is not a static label but a fluid journey. The question “Can You Stop Being A Jew?” therefore becomes a probing invitation rather than a definitive inquiry, encouraging individuals to reflect on the components of their identity that hold significance to them. This journey is personal, complex, and frequently involves navigating a landscape where tradition and modernity converge.Eli lyhyesti sanoen: ei. In terms of Judaism, once a Jew, always a Jew, there is no leaving. You never lose the obligations of being a Jew, but you can lose the privileges. Ainakin jotkut juutalaisten perinteisistä piirteistä joita Flash ei pitänyt enää tärkeinä on palannut kärkipäähän: Jews are bankers, conspirators and warmongers. Aatu taisi olla oikeassa: ainut keino luopua juutalaisuudesta on luopua juutalaisista.
Her husband had never stood in any natural affinity to her. On his part, their marriage had been a loveless and selfish union, based on the desire for an heir that he might found a family and cancel the unfair position of a younger son. But the sin he committed against the fundamental law, that marriage shall be founded only in love, brought its swift revenge.

For example: beginning state → challenge/conflict → midpoint turning point → climax → resolution. Want a one‑line definition or a quick 3‑sentence example using David?
xxx/ellauri495.html on line 166: Right—if you’re using Aquinas, angels are created with intellect and will, and they really do choose. So the key Aquinas-style moves are usually: Satan’s “fall” is not like Eden where there’s still an opening to repent. In Aquinas’s picture, once an angel’s will makes its definitive choice for/against God, that choice becomes settled (angels don’t get “another round” in the same way humans do). God isn’t “testing Satan” like an experiment. In classical theology, God allows creatures to choose, but it’s not God setting up a trap to see what happens. The moral drama comes from the creature’s will turning (or refusing to turn) toward God. Why not “redeem first”? In the Thomistic frame, the problem isn’t that God didn’t know; it’s that redemption as a “second chance” presupposes a will that will accept it. If the angel’s decision is definitive refusal, then there’s nothing for God to “straighten out” without negating the very kind of choice Aquinas says angels have. If you want, tell me whether you’re working from Aquinas’s exact claims you mean (e.g., about angelic knowledge, the definitiveness/immutability of angelic choice, or “permission vs. causation”), and I’ll map the argument in that same vocabulary.
xxx/ellauri495.html on line 170: I get why it sounds primitive if you reduce it to “God could stop it but didn’t.” In Aquinas-style theodicy, the point isn’t that God is helpless or that He’s doing trial-and-error; it’s closer to: God doesn’t cause the creature’s wrong choice. He allows creaturely agency to produce real consequences. Once an angel’s will makes its definitive turn away from God, there isn’t an “edit this moment” correction that preserves what Aquinas thinks makes the choice morally real (and, classically, that choice is not like a human who can genuinely change course later). So “what could God do?” doesn’t mean “whack/bang/ouch” as if God is improvising; it means “why allow a universe where created wills can definitively commit themselves,” and classical theology says that’s the cost of genuine agency and a meaningful ordered cosmos—not a clumsy mechanic. If you tell me what exact Aquinas premise you’re relying on most (immutability of angelic choice, permission vs. causation, or something else), I can give the cleanest argument for why that premise implies “no redemption-first” without making God seem reactive.
xxx/ellauri495.html on line 174: Your reaction is coherent: if God can do anything, then why create beings who can definitively choose against him, and why not create “happy animals” instead. In Christian philosophy (including Aquinas-adjacent lines), the standard response is essentially: God isn’t choosing between “happiness with no freedom” and “chaos,” but between kinds of goods. A common version goes like this: Freedom is a real good. Created persons can love, obey, worship, and genuinely choose. “No free choice” trades away not just the possibility of sin, but also the possibility of love and moral/covenant relationship. Omnipotence doesn’t mean “make any set of values compatible.” The classic view is that there are realities like “created agency” and “definitive choices” that can’t both be preserved while also guaranteeing that no creature ever chooses wrongly. The “circus” is not trial-and-error but a created order with intelligible consequences. God permits the misuse of freedom rather than coercing away misuse, because coercion would undermine the kind of relationship and moral order being created. That still leaves the emotional/ethical punch of your last line (“I’d rather have no freedom than sin-capable freedom”), and many people who find the metaphysics unpersuasive land there: freedom is too expensive. If you’re open to it, I can answer in the most direct way by taking your preference seriously: do you want the argument for why “no freedom” is worse than it sounds, or do you want the argument for why God’s omnipotence allows more than “could have prevented this one outcome” (i.e., a deeper take on the “why create at all” question)?
xxx/ellauri495.html on line 178: You’re arguing that “genuine choice” buys you nothing you care about—because non-rational life already has attachment, play, loyalty, pleasure, etc.—while it also “buys” the option of rebellion. That’s a strong objection. Christian philosophy usually replies in a few ways, and you can see where you might still disagree: Love and worship aren’t the point (or not the only point) of “choice.” Many theologians say moral freedom is valuable because it’s the capacity to recognize truth as truth and to will the good as good, not just as appetite/affinity. Animals can form bonds, but they aren’t typically described as capable of knowing God (or the good) and choosing it knowingly. The real issue isn’t “choice causes trouble,” it’s “choice makes a certain kind of goodness possible.” In this view, a world with no wrongdoing-by-choice would have to either (a) remove the possibility of choosing against the good, or (b) control wills so thoroughly that they aren’t really themselves—so you’d lose more than worship; you’d lose the kind of relationship/virtue that requires responsibility. “Adam/Eve/Satan caused trouble” doesn’t settle the “why create?” question. The typical Christian claim is that God isn’t trying to create a world where no one ever fails; God is creating a world with intelligible order where failure can be addressed (at least for humans) and where the deeper moral drama of the story matters. You may reject that, but it’s the internal logic. If you want, tell me which part you find most unacceptable: (a) that moral freedom is a different kind of good than animal-like life, or (b) that losing that good is too high a price even if it prevents all this suffering?
