The Last Mass at St. Augustine’s
It was announced a few months ago that St. Augustine's Church in Cork City would close on July 12th, with a final mass at 11:30 that morning. I arrived around 11:20, curious to see what it would be like, only to see every space on every bench taken and people standing at the back of the church. And people were still arriving as we left a moment later. One wonders if churches around the city noticed a drop in attendance yesterday. It's been a long time since Irish churches were this packed […]https://inphotos.org/2026/07/13/the-last-mass-at-st-augustines/

New Testament Reading: 2 Thessalonians 1:1-4, 11-12
#Paul wrote again to the #Thessalonians regarding some particular challenges in the #congregation. -
This #Christian #pastor preached a #sermon while pointing an #AR15 at the #congregation
Pastor #PhilipThornton of #LegacyFaithChurch in #Harrisburg, PA told his congregation they needed to go all out when spreading their #faith.
The illustration he used was deeply #disturbing. And it would no doubt have caused a national firestorm if this were a non- #Christian church.

A quotation from Samuel Johnson
To be of no church is dangerous. Religion, of which the rewards are distant, and which is animated only by faith and hope, will glide by degrees out of the mind unless it be invigorated and reimpressed by external ordinances, by stated calls to worship, and the salutary influence of example.
Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets, “Milton” (1781)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/johnson-samuel/21120…

#Christian #Morality Is a #LIE

https://www.thekaysemeloneshow.com/p/016-christian-morality-is-a-lie"We often hear that #WesternCivilization was built upon #Christianmorality, but is that actually a good thing? In fact, is that actually a real thing? I would argue that no, Christian morality is not as set-in-stone as the #religious leaders in power would like their everyday #congregation members to believe."

A true #enlightened #man knows the benefits of #intellectualism, #romanticism & #socialism by way of mere inference.
Power in numbers cannot be understated, as it is the foundation of #democracy. #PublicEducation cannot be underrated, as it is the foundation of the #sciences. #Culture & #Congregation is there to fulfill basic needs that all humans have. Take away this and the man never grows.
The #manchild is merely a result of the environment being incapable of raising a boy to become a man

While wandering through Savannah, I stumbled upon something truly special—Congregation Mickve Israel, one of the oldest Jewish congregations in the U.S., founded in 1733.
As an Israeli Jew, stepping inside this historic synagogue filled me with pride and warmth. The rich history, the beautifully preserved Torah scrolls, and the deep roots of Jewish life in America left me in awe.
Sharing a glimpse of this incredible place with you!

Soft, reflective music fills the venue as a hush falls over the crowd. #Trump’s tone turns reverent & somber, prompting some to bow their heads or close their eyes. Others raise open palms in the air or murmur as if in #prayer.
In this moment, Trump’s audience is his #congregation, & he their pastor as he delivers a ~15-min finale that evokes an #evangelical altar call, the emotional tradition that concludes some #Christian services in which attendees come forward to commit to their #savior.
