An African white-bellied tree pangolin baby hitches a ride on its mother at Pangolin Conservation, a nonprofit organization in St. Augustine, Florida. The mammals are illegally killed for bush meat and their scales, which are claimed to have medical value.

Letter writing tips from St. Augustine of Hippo

The more self deprecating the better

You can show this by signing with something sensitive like “Yours Sinfully”

Add some teardrops to make it genuine

Have a friend hand deliver it

Include a loaf of bread, just in case

What remains today of Newton's fundamental breakthrough? Modern life, our system of education founded on the requirements of punctuality, scholastic exercises on the charts of train schedules, geographic maps—all this inculcates in us, from childhood, a very Newtonian idea of space and time. This is why we have such difficulty perceiving the absurdity of questions such as"What lies beyond the limits of the universe?" or "What existed before the creation of the world—or before the Big Bang?" We marvel at the apparent modernness of Saint Augustine, who was already addressing similar questions fifteen centuries ago: "Time did not exist before heavens and earth.” But few among us know or have really assimilated the Kantian critique of the concepts of space and time. Kant constructed this critique specifically to chart the boundaries between knowledge and faith, to free science from metaphysical presuppositions, to deliver geometry from the shadow of theology to which Newton had in fact ascribed it. For Kant, space and time are not things in themselves but "forms of intuition”—in other words, they constitute a canvas that allows us to decipher the existence of the world. According to Kant, things "in themselves" are neither in space nor in time. It is the human mind that, in the very act of perception, superimposes these categories, which are its own and without which perception would be impossible. This does not exactly mean that space and time are illusions or pure inventions of the human mind. These frameworks are imposed on us through empirical contact with nature and are not, therefore, "arbitrary.” They no more belong to things in themselves than they belong to the mind alone; rather, they exist because of the dialogue between the mind and things. They are, in the final analysis, an unavoidable product of motion itself by means of which the mind searches to apprehend—to understand—the outside world.

Saint Augustine of Hippo

Doctor of the Church

354 - 430 

Feast Day: August 28

Patronage: brewers, printers, theologians

St.  Augustine, Bishop of Hippo and Doctor of the Church, was the son of Saint Monica. He was raised a Christian, but lost his faith in youth and led a wild life. He lived with a woman from the age of 15 through 30 and fathered a son. After investigating and experimenting with several philosophies, he became a Manichaean but was converted by the prayers of his mother and the help of Saint Ambrose of Milan, who baptized him. He then spent the remainder of his life doing great things. His later thinking can be summed up in a line from his writings: "Our hearts were made for You, O Lord, and they are restless until they rest in You."

Unlike most Christmas trains this one is picking up toys. They are collecting toys from organizations that have collected them for the Santa train which will run later in the month. St. Augustine, FL December 8, 2012

I have a very very specific holiday related pet peeve of mine that I'd like to address.

So I've noticed *A LOT* of people getting increasingly mad over the years because Christians (especially in America) observe a lot of originally pagan (Yule) traditions for Christmas (exs: putting trees in your house, putting wreaths on the door, etc.). I've especially seen a lot of anger from people who practice paganism today. "You stole our traditions!" "Those traditions aren't yours!"

My brothers and sisters and siblings in Christ, you are so wrong on so many levels.

Firstly, let's start with Yule's place of origin. Yule was originally celebrated by Norse, Celtic, and Germanic peoples. It's vitally important to note that the Celtic people in particular occupied what is known today as the UK (remember this).

Anybody who knows their history knows that the Romans invaded the UK and Western Europe... a lot. And class, they brought a certain religion along with them! Christianity!

Eventually, after several attempted invasions, the Romans succeeded at occupying the UK (and most of Western Europe). There was even a certain time during this rule of Rome's that all forms of pagan worship were banned! Rome ended up ruling most of Western Europe for hundreds of years.

Now class, can anyone tell me what happens when we enforce a religion on another culture for hundreds of years? It's almost like you lose touch with your roots when that happens!

Now, coming back to these ignorant white Americans putting wreaths on their doors and Christmas trees in their houses without knowing why... it's almost as if it's the result of their distant ancestor's homes being invaded and their religion being banned. They don't know why they put trees up in their homes, but it's what their parents did, and their parents before them, and their parents before them, and on and on.

Now, can anyone tell me where the majority of white Americans originate from? That's right! Western Europe!

It's almost as if white Americans celebrate Christianity with pagan traditions because they were originally pagan and had Christianity enforced upon them.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk and if I see any more of you bitching about stolen traditions I will personally break your kneecaps.
