God is the source and sustainer of all being, and, as such, the dizzying mystery encountered in the act of contemplation as precisely the âblankingâ of the human ambition to knowledge, control, and mastery. To know God is unlike any other knowledge; indeed, it is more truly to be known, and so transformed.
Sarah Coakley, âGod, Sexuality, and the Selfâ, 44.
When we consider ourselves in the context of cosmic ecology and cosmic passage, we see that we humans are intertwined with all other things in a single, universal, and dynamic web of creation with God at its head. We also understand that the distinctive capacities and powers we wield come to usâare bestowed on usâby means of relationships, orderings, and processes at work in Godâs cosmos. That is, they are gifts for which we should be grateful, unless we wish to become cosmic ingrates. Moreover, in our gratitude we quite appropriately feel responsible to the giver of these gifts for the ways we use them in the world that the giver creates and sustains. This brings us full circle to an image I introduced earlier with reference to Genesis 1:28. People are equipped to be stewards or managers of planet Earth, and persons of piety appropriately feel responsible to the God who creates and sustains the world for their stewardship and their management.

After years of debate and contemplation, Iâve come to think a heretical form of Christianity might be true. Hereâs why

GMs: What's a rule/mechanic you've stolen from one game and use in almost every game you run?
One of mine is Dungeon Crawl Classic's "Recovering the body" rule - in which dead PCs have a chance of quite dramatically NOT being dead and instead being barely alive and wounded when the other PCs go to recover the body. It makes for such a fun final roll for the character and can have a wonderfully dramatic and exciting payoff if the roll goes well. Plus, because it's a "may" rule it gives the player a chance to say "No, I think Alfred the Wise dies here. It's a fitting end." and it's only utilized when they want that exciting maybe final moment with the character.
For creation piety, the gift of life means that our relationship with God embraces the continuing and often ordinary flow of life. Our relationship with the divine is not restricted to matters of âsalvationâ; it is also resident in the everyday. Again, the gift âis given to a person as a living being with all other living beings together.â12 Thus, the relationship between God and the human being is not restricted to the latterâs life within a particular historic community; it expands to include her membership in the human race. Indeed, it extends beyond that to her place within the world of living beings and even the cosmic ecology and passage of all things that owe their life and their being to the one who creates and sustains.

charging rent is so fucking insidious. people can only buy houses and cars and other expensive things when they're able to save up a portion of their paycheck. rent is so expensive that almost nobody is able to save any money to buy a house. people are having to rent more and more because rich old people are buying their 5th vacation house or their 30th random shithole house to rent out to people in need or corporations are buying up all the houses and turning them into airbnbs and shit so there are no fucking houses left. not to mention theyre jacking the prices up on the few that are left to make them completely unaffordable to normal people so even more companies and rich old people get ahold of them. what do we fucking do

Actually I have a friend who makes six digits and has lived in the same apartment with his wife for 10 years, and he never wants to own a home because it's easier to just call maintenance and have them fix/pay for everything.
So there!!!
i cannot imagine living this life without rotting into an unmoving corpse within a week
Well now all he does is work 10 hours a day, come home to watch tiktok, then pass out and have nightmares about losing his job. So that's nice!
I work like 5-7 hours a day and I haven't bought a house because I didn't plan to stay in this godforsaken hellhole for that long and also I'd rather invest in the stock market early in my career vs. hoarding cash for a down payment.
Christianity is not one of the great things of history. It is history that is one of the great things of Christianity.
