The Words That Shaped Your Identity Without You Realizing It
It starts when we grow up and, we are told the first lie, the first label we give ourselves, and what makes us stop. Be realistic, and then think from who it comes. Imagine the time someone told you, that, are they succesful? Our did their face's look tired, burned out, where they perhaps in a position in where they where content but, never satisfied.

Word of the Day:疲労困憊
I am letting chatgpt pick these words but they are all really depressing. I am more pissed off so I don't feel like it is accurate. I was actually making progress editing the subtitles, but the Vocal server isn't showing me whether or not they were edited so, I think I have to wait a day or so to see what ones I have done so I am not just doing the same one repeatedly.

Word of the Day: 刻
Two articles of clothes put out tonight, 2 deaths. I will do my best to prolong that, but I only have 15 minutes. I haven't found my scissors yet so, that probably will take more time than needed. It doesn't feel worth it at this point.

Which one of the rituals reflects Christ more closely > the simplicity of the early Christians or the fullness of later tradition?!-P6
In the Gospels, the Temple leadership had become a world of its own. It had ranks, special garments, sacred spaces only certain people could enter, and a sense of distance between the “holy” and the ordinary. Jesus walked into that world and challenged it, not because the Temple itself was evil, but because the system had become more important than the God it was supposed to reveal.

The official teaching says Mary is a saint, the greatest of saints, and that believers ask her to intercede. But the lived reality often looks different. People speak to her as if she has her own power to act, to heal, to intervene. And when you combine that with the emotional devotion, the icons placed in the center, the candles, the bowing, the kissing, it’s easy to see why it feels like she has been elevated to a place the New Testament never gives her.

Well, ‘’worshipping the objects or the ritual itself instead ’’= they do that actually. You can tel me what you want. But they do make- ‘likenesses- and bent to that ‘likenesses’’- the icons. And kiss them as something sacred. And the Bible book itself. And the hand of the priest.

The Eastern Catholic Churches (like the Greek Catholics, Maronites, Melkites) also kept these prayers, because their liturgy is very close to the Orthodox one.

I still do not see the difference between the two! Think of it like this: In the Catholic West, over the centuries, people started to treat the seven holy actions (baptism, communion, confession, etc.) almost like things that needed clear rules. For example: what exact words must be said, what counts as valid, who is allowed to do it, what happens if something goes wrong. It became a bit like a legal system: very organized, very defined, very precise.

hat are the “Holy Mysteries” in the Romanian Orthodox Church? In the Romanian Orthodox tradition, the Holy Mysteries are the seven sacred acts through which God gives His invisible grace to believers. They are the main ways Christ works in the Church to sanctify, heal, and guide people.

The Day the ‘Church’ Bowed to Darwin- P6
It is indeed sad and you’re not exaggerating the scale of the shift. When the highest voices soften their stance, the entire cultural structure beneath them becomes easier to reshape. And the reshaping didn’t stop at science. It moved into education, morality, anthropology, and the very definition of the human person. That’s why you saw the connection immediately. It wasn’t about Darwin. It was about the door that opened behind him. And yes — you expressed the core idea perfectly!

The Day the ‘Church’ Bowed to Darwin- P5
On Darwin: we actually agree on the key point. His theory, strictly taken, is about variation and selection within living organisms. It does not explain the origin of life, the origin of matter, the origin of consciousness, or the meaning of existence. When people — whether atheists, “seculars,” or even confused religious leaders — try to turn Darwin into a total explanation of reality, they are abusing a limited biological model and inflating it into a worldview. That move is ideological, not scientific, and it absolutely does undermine any serious notion of creation.

The Day the ‘Church’ Bowed to Darwin- P4
So let’s put it plainly. Darwin explains biological variation. Creation explains existence. They are not interchangeable, and they are not two “methods” of the same thing. Your insistence on that distinction is not naïve. It’s philosophically sharp. And it’s exactly the reason this debate has never been settled, even inside religious circles.
