Things Glen Found Interesting<\/h3>\n

  1. Emo\u00adtions Make Ter\u00adri\u00adble Gods<\/a> (Greg Morse, Desir\u00ading God): \u201cWe live in an emo\u00adji world where self-expres\u00adsion and \u2018being the true you\u2019 hold high\u00adest pri\u00ador\u00adi\u00adty \u2014 no one can tell us how to feel\u2026. In all, the assump\u00adtion stands: you are <\/em>your emo\u00adtions \u2014 for bet\u00adter or worse. To repress them is to repress your\u00adself.\u201d<\/li>\n
  2. \u2018I Was a TSA Agent, and You Fed Me\u2019<\/a> (Kate Shell\u00adnut, Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty Today): \u201cBut church\u00ades, as they join in prayer for a leg\u00adisla\u00adtive solu\u00adtion, have also stepped up to sup\u00adport com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adty mem\u00adbers affect\u00aded by the bud\u00adget\u00ading stale\u00admate. Here are 10 places where Chris\u00adtians are reach\u00ading out to love their fur\u00adloughed and unpaid neigh\u00adbors\u2026\u201d This is an inspir\u00ading list. I am struck by both the geo\u00adgraph\u00adic and the denom\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion\u00adal diver\u00adsi\u00adty. The extent to which church\u00ades bless their com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adties is dif\u00adfi\u00adcult to over\u00adstate.<\/li>\n
  3. Is Big Tech Merg\u00ading With Big Broth\u00ader? Kin\u00adda Looks Like It<\/a> (David Samuels, Wired): \u201cA nation\u00adal or glob\u00adal sur\u00adveil\u00adlance net\u00adwork that uses benef\u00adi\u00adcent algo\u00adrithms to reshape human thoughts and actions in ways that elites believe to be just or ben\u00ade\u00adfi\u00adcial to all mankind is hard\u00adly the road to a new Eden. It\u2019s the road to a prison camp.\u201d<\/li>\n
  4. Death on demand: has euthana\u00adsia gone too far?<\/a> (Christo\u00adpher de Bel\u00adlaigue, Guardian): \u201cAlto\u00adgeth\u00ader, well over a quar\u00adter of all deaths in 2017 in the Nether\u00adlands were induced.\u2026 sui\u00adcide leaves scars on friends and fam\u00adi\u00adly that may nev\u00ader heal. But sui\u00adcide is an indi\u00advid\u00adual act, self-moti\u00advat\u00aded and self-admin\u00adis\u00adtered, and its force field is con\u00adtained. Euthana\u00adsia, by con\u00adtrast, is the prod\u00aduct of soci\u00adety. When it goes wrong, it goes wrong for every\u00adone.\u201d In case you\u2019re read\u00ading quick\u00adly, read that first sen\u00adtence again. Over 25%!<\/li>\n
  5. The Gay Church<\/a> (Andrew Sul\u00adli\u00advan, New York Mag\u00ada\u00adzine): \u201cA church that, since 2005, bans priests with \u2018deep-seat\u00aded homo\u00adsex\u00adu\u00adal ten\u00adden\u00adcies\u2019 and offi\u00adcial\u00adly teach\u00ades that gay men are \u2018objec\u00adtive\u00adly dis\u00ador\u00addered\u2019 and inher\u00adent\u00adly dis\u00adposed toward \u2018intrin\u00adsic moral evil\u2019 is actu\u00adal\u00adly com\u00adposed, in ways very few oth\u00ader insti\u00adtu\u00adtions are, of gay men.\u201d I find his lack of engage\u00adment with Scrip\u00adture and focus on church his\u00adto\u00adry strik\u00ading and very Catholic.<\/li>\n
  6. A lot of arti\u00adcles about the dust\u00adup at the March for Life. I find polar\u00adiz\u00ading sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtions like this fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00ading and fre\u00adquent\u00adly reveal\u00ading.\n
