"A faith which never doubts is not worth having.
it's in the dialectic of faith and doubt that the reality of faith emerges.
the enemy of faith is not doubt,
but rather the sheer insensitivity of mind that doesn't see what all the fuss is about.
we have to go from the intellectualized problem down to the deeper existential problem"
where the virtue is hope, not faith. the opposite of hope is not doubt, but despair.
moving through the dark valley of despair to the land of hope and promise.

With each passing day, Iβm happier that I nixed Mr. Carolinaβs plan to get a Tesla as my next vehicle. Instead, Iβve been loving my gorgeous, powerful, safe, high tech Volvo C40 Recharge. Oh, and the brilliant folks at Volvo equipped this vehicle with a heat pump to maintain optimal battery temperatures so Iβm not freaking out over dying batteries in the cold. Maybe thatβs how something like 80% of the vehicles in Sweden are EVs. #Winning #EVs #EVsRock
@Bix This is all so absolutely nuts.
And at this point I have to believe more than ever that it is being guided by enemies of the US including probably Putin. And yes the GOP, but I think they have help and are being guided by an agenda from outside the US.

Texas is really pushing the boundaries.
Speaking as a student of history, this is fascinating and deeply alarming to me.
People often describe the start of conflicts like WW1 and the Civil War as sparks that caught in a gas filled room.
The Assassination of the Archduke of course kicked off WW1 and the secession of South Carolina and dispute over Fort Sumter kicked off the US Civil War.
This is quickly becoming something that could go in a similar direction.
@th3j35t3r Coso has a much more community vibe than any other social I've ever been on, so I doubt it. We all kind of hang out here, on Facebook it feels much more like tiny islands instead of a friendly bar.
Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name.
