Watson on the 6th Commandment: mercy works adorn the gospel as fruit adorns a tree (Matt. 5:16)—they credit religion and silence its critics. Westminster-level conviction.

Contrast today: God is fine with our bad PR, gainsayers deserve snark, a few meals last month covers it. Watson’s question lingers: how do you let your light shine?

@wist
That's an insight into self-obsession and maybe B.R. identifies one root of today's hyper-individualism.

Perhaps our culture's hyper-individualism could be traced to more Christianities which stressed the importance of internal psychological states and events.

Though the Puritan ethics would seem to have been a brake on, or obstacle to, actions which were openly me, me, me. cf #DonaldTrump

@michael I believe it is time to leave #Mastodon for something else. The #Fediverse has become nothing but an elitist cargo cult with rules so strict, the #puritan sect looks pale in this regard.

To create a stable society is not trivial but the decisions taken in this village violate human rights and I do no longer love this #CancelCulture and #TonePolicing

I guess we need many more experiments until federation finds a balance.
