Only six groups of people have stayed at this cabin. Yet whoever built it knew that no matter how few rested there, someone would benefit. Caring for someone you'll never meet, providing for someone that to whom you owe absolutely nothing - that's strong Agape.
@nugger@Riamu Occasionally I'll put random objects in my wife's hand while she's talking. Every time I do it throws off her train of thought entirely, it's hilarious
I'm not a flat earther or a globe earther or whatever. God can do as He pleases with His creation. But it makes me happy to see anyone angry who wants to push their specific cosmology down other people's throats. (I still dislike calvin)
A lot of these guys are going to hear "depart from Me, I never knew you" from Christ on Judgment Day. So we, being called to imitate Christ our King, do well to think likewise. No need to seethe over whoever it is this week that denies that He is Lord and King: if Christ does not know him, neither do I.
"Captain, my religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me. Captain, that is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave."

SuperLutheran (kicky half)It's really weird how people fight over whether Hitler was a Christian. I get it, especially since one of the ways Christianity was subverted in the West was by authorities telling everyone that ol' Adolf was the devil incarnate, a pagan, an astrologer, etc. But ultimately it's very, very odd that people would get into this fight. Jimmy Carter sucked as a president, but he was also a deeply devoted Southern Baptist for most of his life: no one disparages the Baptists or supports them on account of Jimmy Carter. Yet for some reason, there are many people whose opinion of national socialism hinges on whether or not Hitler was a Christian!
And the double standards irritate the snot out of me. The same people who want to claim a supposed paganism inherent to national socialism are typically admirers of the United States Constitution....which was drafted by a gaggle of deists, unitarians, skeptics and other weirdos. They refuse to see the discrepancy in their standards, because all they can think is muh-hitler-bad.
I'm not a national socialist. I didn't decide to reject national socialism on account of some matter of religious faith (including the western civic religion). I disagree with its policies and how it does governance, that's all; I think there are better ways for a pro-White government to serve it's people, simple as. Whether or not Hitler was a staunch Roman Catholic or some weird neopagan new-ager doesn't matter to me one bit when considering the political system itself.
