WIST Quotations

A quotation from Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

Men are idolaters, and want something to look at and kiss and hug, or throw themselves down before; they always did, they always will; and if you don’t make it of wood, you must make it of words, which are just as much used for idols as promissory notes are used for values.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809-1894) American poet, essayist, scholar

Article (1872-05), “The Poet at the Breakfast-Table,” Atlantic Monthly

rk: could be an enum

The people gathered around Aaron, and said to him, “Come, make gods for us, who shall go before us; as for Moses we do not know what has become of him.”

He took the gold from them, formed it in a mold, and cast an image of a calf…They rose early the next day, and offered burnt offerings and brought sacrifices of well-being; and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to revel.

Two kids stand in front of a large bronze beaver statue, the beaver wearing a baseball cap. The beaver is Buc-Ee, the mascot of the Buc-Ee’s chain of gas stations.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS PART?

"I have no difficulty understanding how someone can be both Asian and Black."

(John Pavlovitz is an American former youth pastor and author, known for his social and political writings from a liberal Christian perspective)

Post by John Pavlovitz (verified account) I have no difficulty understanding how someone can be most Asian and Black. I can't fathom how some can be professed Christian and a Trump supporter

Tuckers Nuts Resist! 🇺🇦 

@alan
🥥 YOU have stated the current state of near-universal money/power mis-rule so very eloquently, Alan.
To me, today's AI mania is disheartening.
Eye look forward to the refreshing days ahead that YOU have imagined, when schemers and venal tech cheerleaders have been hoist by their own hubris.
My fear is that that hoisting will only usher in the days of AI 2.0, though. 🥥

“The great *silent* majority is rising like never before & under our leadership,” #Trump recites from a teleprompter in a typical version of the script. “We will pray to God for our strength & for our liberty. We will pray for God & we will pray w/God. We are one movement, one people, one family & one glorious nation under God.”

"On the 2024 campaign trail, the religious undertones employed by Trump and his allies have grown more apocalyptic — even messianic — as his legal troubles have mounted. …

The bottom line: 64% of Republicans view Trump as 'a man of faith,' according to a November poll by Deseret News — more than his former vice president and vocal evangelical Mike Pence."

"What matters here is that Trump and his supporters are leaning heavily into the Christian nationalist message, that he was not only anointed by God to lead, but that God wants Trump to smite his enemies and create a new version of America that is, if not quite a theocracy, at the very least a country in which Christians rule for Christian purposes and everyone else is allowed to be here only with their sufferance."
