-ta is not always past tense. It's the perfective aspect, which can also sometimes mean "things you just found out about". I don't think English has this usage, but German does the same thing with our past tense. So I put it in present tense because "JavaScript was Christian" doesn't make too much sense here.

Anyway I went to church today, and turns out Jesus sometimes does reason in his sermons:


That's some pretty solid exegesis there, thank you Jesus.

Still weirded out that we're getting the same readings even when we're strangers living a Poland apart.

Think of all the exciting varieties of early heretical Christianity you guys could start believing if you are free to edit the creed. "We believe in two gods, one of the Old Testament, and one of the New..."

Come to think, why don't they revive heresies? Surely there should be people interested in, dunno, Cathars or Arianism today!

Well, I don't know if skins are relevant in Lithuaniania. If you're bald, you might belong to either the slav-squatting, phone-stealing kind or be a nationalist metalhead.

It's sad that nationalism is kinda pervasive in the metal scene. OTOH, I don't listen to music or go to concerts, so whatever.

Running away is the furthest thing from my mind. You're probably going to find my phrasing terrible or inexcusable, but I think the silver lining of a trump presidency is that whiny SJWs will finally be forced to stand up for themselves and acknowledge that there are very real colorblind "economic anxieties" that have nothing to do with your swim-suit zone or your skin tone's melanin count. They need to help me get those CINOs to realize what "whatever you do for the least of my brothers you do for me" really means on a group, macro level.

Well, nukes have the potential to end the world and they're a huge money sink, but if it wasn't for MAD, we Eurogoons would probably all be speaking Russian by now.

And while Trump might cut down on American military engagements/obligations, it's not like any money will be saved or reach the poor. MIC would never let that happen, and neither would the Republicans.

I'm not happy that masturbation is still frowned upon. Sure, it's because sex is supposed o be an act between two loving people, but if the girlfriend doesn't mind and I sent her dick pics once or twice...

Whatever, we should ditch the whole sex thing and leave it in vague terms of moral choice, because I don't want to think too much about camming, dogging, cucking and whetever else in terms of Christian morality. Liberation theology seems like a cooler way to go. Down with the dicks, up with the poor!

In similar vein: a Christian politician shouldn't ban prostitution, but legalize, regulate and tax it, and help build support structures to give sex workers opportunity to get a job that sucks/fucks them in the rear end metaphorically (Wallmart: is it more dignified than turning tricks?). "Trolling of wannabe pornstars," while funny in an "I'm a horrible person and I'm going to Hell" kinda way, shows that porn attracts poor, uneducated and traumatized ladies.

You should become a Catholic, fall in love with liberation theology and then marry it to Maoism somehow.

Me, my name might be derived from a Roman god of war (at least, that's what some book I read in elementary school claimed), but I chose my middle name to be of the patron saint of journalists.

The problem with saint naming is that those names sound really strange in every day Lithuanian.

As for peeps discovering my real name, well, I don't hide that much.

So, ugh, how do we deal with the "any theory that can't be proven false is dogma" thing? I ran into that quote on Civ VI and in a Maddox post recently and I don't want to give my OCD more ammo.

I do love the little hold outs of Paganism we still have in places, like how it's a point of pride for some of the Lithuanian colleagues at work with that they were the last people to convert to Christianity in Europe.

Let me tell you about Lithuanians being the biggest shits...

Poland accepted Jesus in 900s, and grew in size, influence and culture.

Lithuanians resisted it until the end of XIV century, which resulted in Crusades Nobody Cares about, conquests we couldn't hold and being culturaly dominated by poles for hubdreds of years. The only benefit was increased cultural/religious tolerance* as pagan dukes tried to look nice and tech up from Europe.

The first Lithuanian book in Lithuanian was the Cathechism in XVIth century.

So yeah, we were the last moonworshipping savages to convert in Europe.

*Most of the proud pagan last standers/pagans 2016 come from nationalist circles who don't care about stuff like that.

Hell if I know. I outgrew my nationalist stance in relative isolation, so I did not have much contact with them until later.

Also, spending the first gay pride parade in the Baltics outside the fence (with all the gay bashers) really helped me get more tolerant of sexual minorities.

These people are certainly not that, one of them just studied the history and liked the stories. I can't blame them, I wish some of the old stuff, like not treating women as property, had been kept on. The other just hate the Russian state a whole lot.

One of our treasured stories is about our grand duke falling in love with a vestal/shrine maiden/fire-keeping virgin and stealing her away!

Hating the Russian state is a noble tradition that's at least 200 years old.
