I reckon so too. I think digital id is quite likely rayciss and I object to it on human rights grounds. Will no one think of the coloureds? Minorities hardest hit!
"Who said “I am the truth”? Anyone who really wants the truth ends up at Christ."
Boy, Frank, apparently the majority of humankind in the past 2,000 years and continuing to today are not really interested in the truth, despite producing philosophers, saints, etc. This is a no true scotsman level statement.
It’s not a “no true Scotsman” argument. It’s not an argument. It’s what I think.
I haven’t read everything but my attempt to get through the ideas from 1632 left me a bit baffled until someone said to me it was all a failed effort to refute Aquinas. A little 💡 went on.
I think Johnny Cash said it too and I think he’s cool.
The next state religion will be the false Christianity of ecumenism.
It will be void of true doctrine, dogma, and spiritual authority.
It will resemble the new age “Christ consciousness”. The new agers say the Christ within us. More mainstream Christianity calls it “a personal relationship with Jesus Christ”
I dunno. I agree all the architecture is there but I think it will be hard to maintain as the wider liberal platform dissolves. I prefer to believe it will make the Church look like an awkward anachronism- rather like the Japanese solder still fighting the war. But gay.
Well at this point we would have to define “the church”
Christ speaks of a remnant certainly in Luke 18.
You are certainly correct that “liberalism” as we know it is and will collapse. But if an ecumenical Christianity replaces the state religion, that replacement is essentially another form of liberalism only acutely spiritual in nature. And therefore more deceptive and dangerous.
Will we get enough people resisting digital IDs you think? I know too many who will immediately capitulate.
Some people I know think covid demonstrated the state has the power to force compliance.
I’d say it broke that power. We will see.
I don’t see it working. You need compliance. It’s a very unpopular move, with opposition across the spectrum.
My view is the state is far more fragile than most believe. This, along with everything else going on, makes for an interesting stress test.
I suspect you are right. We must help accelerate its demise.
Unfortunately, I need to get the .govApp coz otherwise I won’t be allowed to use deliveroo or get my covid booster, so I am keen to sign up.
I think this is a brouhaha created by number 10 because number 10 is in a lot of number 2.

I think you ought to voice that heartfelt appeal on question time.
Thought you’d already have some trained pigeon failsafe m8
Sad.
They will lidurhally h to kill me first

Well I think you are WRONG and I'm RIGHT so there! ;)
That is me told. Be advised I have just chinned myself to solemnise the telting.
I deserved it btw
Yes I don’t think people believe things for their truth value, and I don’t think most beliefs are in fact true.
Worse still, I don’t think most people think. It’s not encouraged and there isn’t much evidence of it in the product line.

Interesting times.
Great piece though. Will share
Thanks Jonathan. I think you’ve got ecumenical rainbow humanism right now from the Vatican. I do think it will seem rather outmoded soon.
Apart from the obvious defection from the actual teachings of the church it’s a bad move strategically and rather myopic. All very modern whatwhat.
This is the practical unwisdom of wedding the Vatican to the spirit of the times. Times pass.
Agree.
There is a false church in the Vatican since PiusXII
The Vatican II COUNCIL is the synthesis of all heresies: combining modernism, ecumenism and religious indifference
They are now one of the actors in this “new religion”
Perhaps we saw the first “service” at state farm sports arena…..
I think I´ll just stamp a QR code on my forehead and say ¨Look, I got mine¨!
