Moral superiority via different MOs.
If you believe that what has been given to you in this Holy text was from God for those who have been justified and sanctified, why are you sitting in judgment and applying those beliefs to anyone and everyone else? Number two, you are not God. Is it not God's job to judge? Number three, where is the Grace and forgiveness that God exhibited? Why are you not being Christ like and offering that to others?
And because I was now in the audience of my own volition, now that they were hurling these arrows my way, they would not allow me to come back up. I could not counter the misrepresentations. I could not challenge the lies. I could not offer any other perspective. I'm a little less emotional now, so I'm grateful for this space to be able to rent it out. But now I can step back a little bit. And there is some fascinating aspects to this. Right
I cannot tell you how many times someone else has used me to create content, whether it's by me being present and moving a conversation along that they could not or did not do themselves when I didn't realize it until afterward, or whether it's something I said that they then used in some fashion as their own. Whether it was art I created that they then took that image and put their name on it as their own

And I don't even believe they are actually living their lives like a Christina, which you just told us was every opposite of that religion. People that feel superior, we will always have that people in power often will be corrupt. And I think it's a psychological thing indeed

Oh, Christina. And by the way, you have my consent to publish a book out of this beautiful. Swell. I'm just kidding. No. Sometimes we need to see it all. All that's one big joke to deal with it. And at least it makes us laugh. Hopefully, you will laugh, too
So now I can take it down. But your comment of what I offer here on Swell is helpful. Made me second guess that. And now to delete it would need to delete your comments. And I don't feel that it's my place to delete your thoughts. So both of these things have made me pause with respect to your ideas on who owns an idea. Anyway, I agree with you. I seem to revisit this every so often

Well, good morning, Christina and Sylvia. Barbara KP here. Just chiming in for a moment. This was really wonderful to listen to. Thank you, Christina. I don't know. Yours is really a rant here so much as just an expose, a commentary on a frustration with people who are just so sure of themselves. I think excuse me, maybe that's what's going on. That's my experience. I would call myself a woman of faith without getting into great details
And so when someone declares a cut and dry boxed in certainty, it can be frustrating. But I think what takes it to another level for me is when they use that certainty as a cudgel or a means to set themselves apart or elevate themselves in relation to someone else. And this goes back to your point about is this relating bringing me closer to them or not?

Normally it's rainy and cold and gross, but it's absolutely, positively lovely here. It's supposed to be this way tomorrow. I'm actually working in the garden doing some stuff, doing something called winter, selling, getting my seeds ready. And I'm just having a really fun time doing that. Going to make some corn beef and cabbage, have some Guinness, do the St. Patrick's Day thing. How about you? But you're right

And when we do have enough self love and self worth, it doesn't matter what other people think of us because it's their business, not mine. And Christina, if you want to delete the wave, sorry, the swell. Be my guest. It's yours. Well, and you already heard me. So if you want to delete it, it's
It's all relative, isn't it? When you said it's going to be a balmy and before you finish the end of the sentence, I was thinking, oh, it's probably similar to here because I was thinking the exact same words about the balmy plus 35 Fahrenheit that it was here. And then you finish the sentence and I was like, yeah, sometimes I forget
Okay. I am really hoping that for the umpteenth millionth time, this actually sticks. Swell continues to crash. Thank you for permission to delete the swell. But I've come full circle, and I find that there's such great value and the thoughts that you and Barbara have offered and the whole thing that we've sort of created three of us with this well, and I don't think it serves anyone to remove it, so I'm not going to do that

And certain religious leaders have called us to or certain tenets of faith have called me to is it really is about love, it's about the other. And that is really important. And I guess I want to bring up on the whole self love thing. And Sylvia, you brought up oh, Barbara, you have to love yourself first. And I agree to a point. The reason I agree to a point is excuse me, I get tough. Deborah, another sip of coffee
Enjoy your lovely weather. And I have blue sky here today, so I'm enjoying the warmer temperatures and thinking of your warmer temperatures there, too

But, yeah, even the humanists out there, especially in our country of the UK, quite a movement, and some people would consider it a religion in a sense, that I'm a humanist, which is fine. I'm not arguing against or for either of these, but I love that this person put together these. This sort of reminds you of the five points of Calvinism Tulip. Total depravity, unconditional election, limited detonement, irresistible Grace, perseverance of the Saints. Boom, Tulip
I was going to ask if your visitor came this morning. And then I remember we were just talking about your temperatures being 70 degrees. Obviously, that was not this morning, but it looks like they have landed in your backyard tree or something. Wow. Wow. From one white girl to another. Yes. He is a person of color. He said a couple of other things or had them in the description and so on that were interesting. One was he said humanism is a dead end

Oh, thank you. Thank you for noticing my bald Eagle, our bald Eagle. I live on a river here in Michigan, and certain times of year the bald Eagle showed go up and we've seen them flying in the sky. We've seen them in various places nearby. But yeah, never this is in a lot right next to us. My husband early one morning looked up and went, OMG, look at that guy. What they love to eat
