Really enjoying C.S. Lewis's MERE CHRISTIANITY. Just plucked this section (p. 49 in my copy). For those of us who are secular, switch out a concept/term like "Satan" with whatever fits--human nature, etc. This is the hubris of my former faith, call it secular liberalism, or secular humanism.
"The moment you have a self at all, there is a possibility of putting yourself first--wanting to be the centre--wanting to be God, in fact. That was the sin of Satan: and that was the sin he taught the human race.... What Satan put into the heads of our remote ancestors was the idea that they could 'be like gods'--could set up on their own as if they had created themselves--be their own masters--invent some sort of happiness for themselves outside God, apart from God. And out of that hopeless attempt has come nearly all that we call human history--money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery--the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy."
Hi everyone, I haven't been active in Solid Ground for a while, but I am still alive and kicking! I now work as personal assistant to a mind-bendingly weird and diva-esque artist-lip-syncher-performer named Fiona Blueberry. She is blissfully clueless about politics and seems to be completely unaware of the culture wars. Working with her is a breath of fresh air. If you need a mood lift, I encourage you to watch this video we made together. Happy 4th, everyone! Wishing you fun/love/peace on this holiday. :) www.fionablueberry.com
Our very own @YayRain (after having imbibed some golden nectar), shares with us yet one more problem with CRT....
From X (https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1953576714849669460):
🚨 BREAKING: RFK Jr’s HHS just announced they are BANNING Medicare and Medicaid from reimbursing ANY hospital NATIONWIDE that provides “sex-trait modifications” to children
HUGE win for America’s kids! 🔥
In other words, hospitals that trans kids won’t receive a single dime from Medicare and Medicaid for ANYTHING at all.
