Evangelical Tenderness
Can these two words go together?
#Christ’s truth demonstrated by #kindness.
The #gospel swaddled in #love.
How #winsome that would be.
Can these two words go together?Christ’s truth demonstrated by kindness.The gospel swaddled in love.How winsome that would be.
I came across the expression ‘evangelical tenderness’ while researching Vincent Van Gogh’s ministry in Belgium. A coarse alcoholic miner was converted to Christianity through Vincent’s evangelical tenderness, and I found myself irresistibly drawn to this testimony. I…

The Game Is Murder
I’ve never understood the “patience of a saint” comment made to people who endure difficult circumstances. Patience is required of all of us most days, and some are better at it than others.
Watching my thirteen-year-old niece play with her younger cousins, however, had me reassessing my thinking.
We were having a birthday brunch for my daughter, and while the adults sat around, talking and…

Oxymorons are guiding your life and you don't even know it....
Ya know,..... sometimes I think oxymorons consume to much of our day because stupid people are in charge.........
An oxymoron is a literal 'figure of speech', in which contradictory terms appear side by side stupidly,..... like a statement that seems to go against common sense but people like it because it's silly-stupid logic actually makes sense to them.
Writers and poets have used oxymorons for centuries as a literary device to describe life's inherent conflicts, and being out of whack of normalcy and logic.
Because the Human race has been that way ever since Religion started to organize and teach people through the use of Oxymorons,......
Ya see, ; the word "God" is actually an oxymoron itself, because it's open to more than one interpretation (equivocal). Making the fundamental uses of ''God'' often confused to followers,...... and it's hard enough to understand all the mystical, magical fairy-tale uses of religion without it's whole nature being ambiguous too.
The Greeks had it right,.... oxymoron" is itself oxymoronic, which is to say contradictory, so it's no wonder religion adopted it to pull off the greatest Hoax on earth about a supreme being you can't really see, hear, or even touch, but must have faith it's real,....a God figure. The word is derived from two ancient Greek words: oxys, which means "sharp," and moronos, which means "dull" or "stupid, and that's they kind of people religion sought after, those who would BELIEVE without Proof, but just their say-so it was true........
William Shakespeare was famous for sprinkling oxymorons throughout his plays, poems, and sonnets. Which is why the church hired him to write their Bible to confuse people into accepting the faith they really didn't understand without the priest in charge of the church to define it for them.
We see oxymorons every day in society, such as "original copy," "poor health,"old news,",...... and two of the most famous oxymorons used by organized religion are "Holy War", and "Sweet Sorrow"....... The primary reason oxymorons can be confusing is that they seem illogical on the surface but make sense in context.
Oxymorons make a stupid and chaotic world seem normal to inept people.
Just sayin, your being made to be suckers and ya don't even know it because you don't question the reality your being presented with, and instead are accepting someone else's version of reality according to their mental mind, which is an artificial reality to achieve dominance over your livelihood they are profiting from.
It's like me as an artist convincing world governments to pass laws requiring everyone on earth to own a painting of mine and you all agree with that logic without question???
Wake up people, your living someone else's reality, and your liking it!!!
Ok, I feel better now that i got that off of my chest, please feel free to continue living someone else's reality.................

thinking about how Humans Are Space Orcs stories always talk about how indestructible humans are, our endurance, our ability to withstand common poisons, etc. and thats all well and good, its really fun to read, but it gets repetitive after a while because we aren't all like that.
And that got me thinking about why this trope is so common in the first place, and the conclusion I came to is actually kind of obvious if you think about it. Not everyone is allowed to go into space. This is true now, with the number of physical restrictions placed on astronauts (including height limits), but I imagine it's just as strict in some imaginary future where humans are first coming into contact with alien species. Because in that case there will definitely be military personnel alongside any possible diplomatic parties.
And I imagine that all interactions aliens have ever had up until this point have been with trained personnel. Even basic military troops conform to this standard, to some degree. So aliens meet us and they're shocked and horrified to discover that we have no obvious weaknesses, we're all either crazy smart or crazy strong (still always a little crazy, academia and war will do that to you), and not only that but we like, literally all the same height so there's no way to tell any of us apart.
And Humans Are Death Worlders stories spread throughout the galaxy. Years or decades or centuries of interspecies suspicion and hostilities preventing any alien from setting foot/claw/limb/appendage/etc. on Earth until slowly more beings are allowed to come through. And not just diplomats who keep to government buildings, but tourists. Exchange students. Temporary visitors granted permission to go wherever they please, so they go out in search of 'real terran culture' and what do they find?
Humans with innate heart defects that prevent them from drinking caffeine. Humans with chronic pain and chronic fatigue who lack the boundless endurance humans are supposedly famous for. Humans too tall or too short or too fat to be allowed into space. Humans who are so scared of the world they need to take pills just to function. Humans with IBS who can't stand spicy foods, capsaicin really is poison to them. Lactose intolerance and celiac disease, my god all the autoimmune disorders out there, humans who struggle to function because their own bodies fight them. Humans who bruise easily and take too long to heal. Humans who sustained one too many concussions and now struggle to talk and read and write. Humans who've had strokes. Humans who were born unable to talk or hear or speak, and humans who through some accident lost that ability later.
Aliens visit Earth, and do you know what they find? Humanity, in all its wholeness.
#humans are space orcs#humans in space#earth is a deathworld#earth is space australia#tagging this so that ppl can find it even though the space shit i write about always feels like its in direct opposition to all the pop tag#also my biggest pet peeve in all of writing - all writing. everywhere. not just in fanfic but books and tv and movies too - is when people#write off an injury by saying something like 'oh nothing bad just a couple of scratches some bruising and a minor concussion' like girl WHA#MiNOr ConCuSSioN is such an oxymoron and I hate it so fucking much. like i dont care how minor it was thats still brain damage.#especially when the same character does this more than once. like im sorry ms. but uh. you can no longer read. or talk eloquently. sorry#evidence: my brother has had two 'minor' concussions and now cannot read write or speak without tremendous effort. And like its totally#ruined my ability to watch action shows/movies because now i just sit there and count how many concussions there characters are getting#after a certain point it becomes totally impossible to believe that these guys are able to function. (still fun to watch tho im not a hater
