Is there a typo in that? Thanks.
One thing that has astonished me is that I haven’t seen anyone point out that what I called the common mode of expression of “gay” love (i.e. sodomy) is gratuitous violence.Interesting.
But Dante places sodomy in the bottom-most ring of the seventh circle, below homicide and suicide, suggesting that this sin is an even worse form of violence. The implication here is that sodomy involves an even more thoroughgoing hostility to Nature than defying the laws of self-preservation or love of neighbor; that it is a culmination of violence in being destructive to neighbor, violating self-love, and at the same time undermining family and community.
I mostly use Bing.
The Inferno guy (Divine Comedy, comedy in the old sense as a story that ends satisfyingly, not in the new sense of frivolous entertainment aimed at getting laughs).
Well he certainly gave hell a lot of thought!
That’s tough to do without falling into its charms (as all of us have some sin) but he did it pretty well (as did the later Milton in Paradise Lost).
I come as this as a small-c catholic Christian. Not having a denominational background has helped me stay out of denominational biases. I gladly affirm truths of faith wherever Roman Catholics, Protestants, and Orthodox note them, and even more I strive to put them into practice because I have discovered, or been discovered by, a God who is well worth the loving.

And it’s perceptive to note all the outer effects of it. We can certainly see those most visibly. It’s the inner effect that gives it its immediate pungency, I would think. But the devil has the wider view and it’s hateful all right.
Anyhow it would need a miracle for Google to see it, but maybe they would. Why hasn’t Google saluted, say, Mother Teresa or Billy Graham?

She gets into areas I can’t necessarily grok, but it doesn’t mean I won’t ever do so. Anyhow, yes suffering has good reasons. Not so certain about literal “kiss of Jesus” — I don’t quite go for what I believe is a Roman Catholic model that every single instance of human suffering is for the sake of redeeming someone else as Christ literally DID redeem the world by taking on the suffering due it — but as I understand it, it is allowed as a lesson by a loving God that wants us in our current ignorance to get an emphasis upon the point that mere earth will bitterly disappoint us sooner or later. And sometimes He does it well before He reveals the reason why. And so we are glad in the end that we were thus reminded.
And yes, patient bearing with suffering (and recovery from past suffering) can have a positive redemptive effect upon those around. So in a sense I can grok it. Mother Teresa seems to have been more for gut sense than she was for explanations. I go for explanations, but that’s because God gifted me with a mind that desires them, which is a good thing.
Anyhow, I might have told the cancer sufferer that Christ was available and there to bear HER suffering, and that she should gladly roll that suffering onto Christ, He wants to bear that burden for her. Sometimes digging too deep into the mystical can leave everyone else just puzzling and un-benefited. Not to cast aspersions of course on this fantastically loving lady, and even our missteps God will redeem when we yield them to Him.
The preference filtering is enabled by cookies, e.g. when you’ve logged into some other Google service and then go try to use Google search. I would have done it a bit more respectfully, like “Your recorded preferences would suggest thus-and-such. Would you like to continue down that path, or use the default universal search?” But again that’s a flaw associated in part with the totally human fault of being full of themselves.
Anyhow. If hubby used another browser (say Google’s own Chrome) just for Google Search purposes, and had it clear cookies in between visits, then he would be more likely to see things in a manner consistent from time to time.
Good info, thanks.

That’s a good letter. But Google, like most media companies, does what its sponsors pay it to do. Most lesser political/market constituents don’t realize that such sponsors, regardless of political party affiliations, lean way to the left on social issues despite their frequent, public insistence that they’re conservative.
Beware self-described progressives who disguise themselves as conservatives. From a little before the turn of the last Century to the present, they’ve messed our country up in two waves. They’re masters of deception, propaganda and laying the blame on others who have no political influence. They did it through the ‘20s, and they’re well into the process of doing it again with media systems much more capable of saturating the population with their nonsense.
