  5. #AI #Facebook

    It's very popular to "hate" AI on Facebook, I'm discovering. As an admin for a private FB Group, ridding the timeline of AI stuff was quite popular ... even among the highly conservative members. And Zuck is very popular with that demographics.

    Conservative LOVE Evil billionaires but hate their insistence AI will help them live a #pious #MAGA life. I wonder how they parse that inside their demented brains.

  6. A quotation from Molière

    CLÉANTE: There’s true and false in piety, as in bravery,
       And just as those whose courage shines the most
       In battle, are the least inclined to boast,
       So those whose hearts are truly pure and lowly
       Don’t make a flashy show of being holy.
     
    [Il est de faux dévots ainsi que de faux braves:
    Et, comme on ne voit pas qu’où l’honneur les conduit
    Les vrais braves soient ceux qui font beaucoup de bruit,
    Les bons et vrais dévots, qu’on doit suivre à la trace,
    Ne sont pas ceux aussi qui font tant de grimace.]

    Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
    Tartuffe, or the Hypocrite [Le Tartuffe, ou L’Imposteur], Act 1, sc. 6 (1669) [tr. Wilbur (1963)]

    Trumpian #Christianity: New Beliefs and Worldviews of the #Christian Faith Through the Lense of #DonaldTrump Loyalists

    "If one truly steps back and looks at the character of Donald Trump and his administration's actions, one can see a very different form of Christianity. To the most #pious, one might even say that this isn't really Christianity at all. It's a perversion of it at best."

  14. Great interview w #rhetoric expert, explaining how the right is preparing people to kill #trans & #homosexuals w impunity. "For the greater good" the #pious say. #Conservatives are saying that #liberalism was a mistake, & that the country's #moral decay proves we don't deserve #democracy. It makes sense to them; a #theocracy would save the #country, supposedly, from itself? Stark warnings from someone who's studied #political #campaigns which end in #genocide.

  15. Seen a few posting the Lord's Prayer on #socialmedia

    I offer some Biblical reading for those posters, Matthew 6:5-15.

    Don't want to look it up? I'll summarize by pointing out some key points it tries to make:

    • Don't pray in public
    • Pray in secret
    • Don't utter empty phrases

    Posting the #Lord'sPrayer on #Facebook is #praying at the street corners so that you may be seen by others as you purport to be #pious. Kind of misses the mark, if you ask me.
