She doesn’t hate her family, she is kind though often misguided. <br/>She does hate her dad, who was an abusive authoritarian parent and justified it all in the name of Calvinism. She also doesn’t believe in God. But I always tell her I don’t believe in that God either. 2026-08-17T14:26:30Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8v7ekqegtlacgk9m6kywh0qv2rscpcd2hgku73n88c0dpafsvx4czyqdam66zmdg4etqnuv9v62vwy85utxvlexg98suhfx26u33yrc4czquunq0 This post is in response to Laser, who just nuked his account and started a new one that I have yet to find.<br/><br/><br/><br/>As a former reformed Baptist myself, I can deeply appreciate the consistency and conviction with which you are approaching this. <br/><br/>If Calvin’s position on icons is correct, then you are doing the right thing. However, Calvin is objectively and provably not correct.<br/><br/>Ultimately the Holy Fathers of the 7th ecumenical council were articulating the faith “once delivered to the saints” when they ruled for the veneration of icons. The basic idea that “veneration of the image passes to the prototype” is a key lynchpin of both trinitarian theology and Christian ethics. <br/><br/>That concept underlines how the commandment to love God and love neighbor are not in conflict. We show our love for God by honoring each image of God around us. <br/>St. John says:<br/>“If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?” (1 John 4:20)<br/><br/>The underlying logic that St. John uses is the theology of the icon: by loving the image (ikon) we see, we honor the unseen one who is imaged. <br/>In other words, “what you have done to the least of these, you have done to me” as Christ says. The action or honor given to the ikon (the human being made in the image of God) passes to the prototype: Christ. <br/>Without this concept, all Christian ethics and morality fails. <br/><br/><br/><br/>The following link is something I found really helpful during my exploration of the theology of icons from a reformed perspective. Lots of great articles on the blog but this one in particular deals with John Calvin.<br/><br/><a href="https://orthodoxbridge.com/2016/02/03/the-illogic-of-calvins-iconoclasm/">https://orthodoxbridge.com/2016/02/03/the-illogic-of-calvins-iconoclasm/</a> 2026-07-23T15:23:42Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8aja07ad6dkt7yje7j7tvp0jgxknn306ppvrug72uf0cvaltmm9szyqdam66zmdg4etqnuv9v62vwy85utxvlexg98suhfx26u33yrc4cz4jp9sx I don’t like wearing clothes. It’s a sensory thing, makes my skin feel like a mild sunburn when I put them on. After a bit the sensation fades to background noise, but I think it impacts my mood subconsciously. <br/><br/>My company recently switched to full back to the office after years of partial work from home. I love my job, but I hate getting dressed every day.<br/><br/>Anyone else feel that way? 2026-05-29T12:55:34Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2y9gfyzdv8ujhlxdu7k66lvyfj70qz584mrfq8cfewe2cftqwgpszyqdam66zmdg4etqnuv9v62vwy85utxvlexg98suhfx26u33yrc4cz8t5xje These guys are hilarious.
