@RevEricBurrowsStone @jctorres @jfslicer The Bible doesn't say anything about homosexuality. Homosexuality did not exist before modernity.
"God, unbegotten, the Father, and one begotten Lord, his Son, referred to as God when he is mentioned separately, but Lord when he is named in conjunction with the Father, the one term on account of his nature, the other on account of his monarchy; and one Holy Spirit proceeding, or, if you will, going forth from the Father, God to those with the capacity to apprehend things that are interrelated, but in fact resisted by the impious though so recognized by their betters and actually so predicated by the more spiritual.

Neither should we place the Father beneath first principle, so as to avoid positing a first of the first, thus necessarily destroying primary existence; nor say that the Son or the Holy Spirit is without beginning. Thus, we shall avoid depriving the Father of his special characteristic.

Paradoxically, they are not without beginning, and, in a sense, they are; they are not in terms of causation, since they are indeed from God although they are not subsequent to him, just as light is not subsequent to the sun, but they are without beginning in terms of time since they are not subject to it. Otherwise, that which is transitory would be antecedent to things that abide, and that which has no independent existence to things that do.

For what the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit have in common is their divinity and the fact that they were not created, while for the Son and the Holy Spirit it is the fact that they are from the Father. In turn, the special characteristic of the Father is his ingenerateness, of the Son his generation, and of the Holy Spirit its procession."

—St. Gregory the Theologian, "Oration 25"

@theology

I’m stumped. As usual, I’m supposed to persuade a robot that I am not a robot. Does the bottom-center square contain a bicycle?

I know what René Magritte would say.

@Matthewvanm @Noahlivingston Even if it doesn't take off, I like having something open source and autonomous as a kind of social backup for my internet friends. You all matter to me, actually.
I am convinced that rebuilding over here is the way forward. It may take time.

“Everything luxetarian is built on somebody’s back; somebody has to pay."

Noma (which some consider to be the world's "best" restaurant) will close at the end of 2024.

TL;DR:
- Rene Redzepi found paying workers & treating them fairly made Noma unsustainable, in a restaurant that charges ~US$500 per person.
- Redzepi opened Noma 20 years ago. He only started paying stagiaires/interns 3 months ago. 1/

Noma, Rated the World’s Best Restaurant, Is Closing Its Doors

The Copenhagen chef René Redzepi says fine dining at the highest level, with its grueling hours and intense workplace culture, has hit a breaking point: “It’s unsustainable.”

“Do not go past the poor man with his hand stretched out, for it is the Lord Himself who stretches out this hand.”

- John Chrysostom

Far-reaching beacon of the Church and God, inspired Guide of the Orthodox, you are now crowned with the flowers of song. You are the divine words of the Spirit's harp, the strong adversary of heresy and to whom we cry, "Hail all-honorable Photius."
