Catholic Church: no meat on Fridays
Folks: Ok so no eggs for breakfast
CC: No, eggs are ok
F: But eggs are chicken
CC:Not until they hatch
F:So the thing, isn't the thing until it's born?
CC: That's correct… Um, no wait.

Found a strikingly beautiful essay this morning! Went looking for cognizable examples of the idea of an #unborn and #undying realm of #truth and #awareness, that can be explored and trusted at all.

Seek the unborn.

#unborn

#Bankei Yōtaku's #Zen teaching centers on the "#Unborn" #BuddhaMind, an immediate, unfabricated awareness accessible to all, beyond ritual or doctrine. His radical approach reframes #Buddha-Nature as natural clarity, emphasizing direct recognition over attainment. A unique voice in Japanese #Buddhism. Read more about it in my new blog post:

So riding my bike home, I had an experience, where I sometimes wonder if angels, in the nonmagical but very real human sense exist. I couldn't confine it to 500 characters so I wrote it on my blog here after getting home. I'm still kind of turning over what I experienced.

#Wolfe misses the point, as usual. There's a difference between opposing a genocidal maniac named #Putin while promoting keeping our country's promises (the U.S. committed to protect #Ukraine decades ago in the name of nuclear disarmament) versus prioritizing the "what's in it for me" attitude of so much of domestic politics.

I speak on _issues_, while rejecting partisan affiliation. I'll champion the case of the #unborn, the elderly and, yes, those wrongly oppressed in Ukraine. I'll champion freedom, which includes the freedom to #Evangelize and disciple in the #Gospel.

What you won't see me champion is my preferred tax policy. Or see me constantly get high on outrage porn about whether I'm being persecuted or not. Christians in Ukraine are being persecuted by Putin. Christians in China are being persecuted by Xi.

Christians need to spend more time championing core moral principles of Bible, rather than just culture warring and compromising virtue to "win" said war. Stand for the poor and oppressed. Oppose those who blaspheme Christ by cloaking their murderous regimes with the Cross, e.g. Putin.

#heartbreaking a #callous and #selfish man who gave #abortion drugs to a #pregnant woman without her knowledge, causing her to lose her #unborn #baby. The woman said she had not been able to conceive again and had “gone from fertility clinic to fertility clinic”. “Being a mother was a dream to me,” she told the court.
