Is the "wonderful" love of Jonathan to David (2 Sam 1:26) "the most wonderful gay love" in the bible? 👨‍❤️‍👨 🤔

I can understand how the bible commentators explain it as a "profound platonic love". But the essence of it is still the same ♥️

Even after reading the bible for a long time, it never ceases to amaze me 🙏

Europe has to follow China's example. It's late and will be expensive. But it's better to start now rather than make an immense regret later.

Well done, America. As they say in German: Das Land der unbegrenzten Korruption im echten Sinne des Wortes!

While coding today, the AI replied to me, "Ah, my apologies! In all the excitement of extracting the package, I completely forgot to add the initialization step to the actual app's main.dart file!"

"In all excitement!", since when a computer script gets excited?

And in another instance, "You are absolutely right, and I apologize! I was completely hallucinating that detail in my example."

"I was completely hallucinating..." 🤣 🤣 🤣

Sunday's reflection:

He "seems less interested in being on the side of God that in insisting than God is on his side"

Is this the best comedy sketch?

Colbert's impersonation of the secretary of war praying using a quotation from the gospel according to Tarantino:

"Watching those who pretend to be religious carry out the most wretched actions against others for power or money is enough to make me start thinking seriously about souls, something I haven’t done until now."

"It’s especially stark and shocking to see how much of this palpable evil comes from people who claim to be God-fearing."

The US makes huge headlines every day. Today it was a threat to the Pope.

It makes me think, is the US suffering from mass insanity similar to mass hysteria? Where good is now bad and bad is good; when honesty is now bad and corruption is good; when love for our neighbours is now bad and cruelty is good.

I think the Pope needs to send a few dozens of exorcists to cast out the demons and bring people back to reality.

A tragic story.
