I believe this string by ebuc is an attempt to explain SomeDebatePerson's "6-7 History."

The link does not add clarity

What did you do, read the title and assume it contained the article detail? The article, which has legit info matching my own literature background [I have an English Lit PhD]: six-seven is medieval English idiom for risk, worry, confusion. See: Democrat history, 2024 presidential primary and election campaign, and resulting autopsy.

Nope. Mary is known for her principle role in the marriage at Cana before Jesus began his ministry to ask him to see to the wine availability. Why else would she be necessarily so aware that one was in low supply if this was not a marriage of m ore than just acquaintences; she likely has familial relationship with the marriage.

She is visited by Gabriel, an angel who reveals to her that she will conceive of God and bear the Messiah.

She visits her cousin, Elizabeth, also with child, which unborn child leaps in the womb at her mother's greeting of Mary, now also with child. Elizabeth's son is John, known as the Baptist.

And as if every female's loss of virginity does not result in pregnancy, or birth. She is, regardless, known for giving birth, and being visited by magi offering valuables not every mother will have or ever will receive.

She is known to have fled Galilee, through Judea, into the wilderness to Egypt to flee the in te3nt of Herod to sly her child, jealous of her child's royalty with the child's generational claim on Herod's throne.

She and her husband marvel at the marvel of the temple priests, to whom her son read and interpreted scripture at twelve years old. She is not clueless of her son's vital role to be fulfilled.

She is often with her son during his ministry.

She is witness to her son's trial with Pilate, and his crucifixion.

There's more, but just that much is absolutely known btw a complete read of the scriptures, word for word.

I did not say Mary was the stranger; I said, putting words in her mouth, that Jesus was the wondrous little stranger

This argument sucks if...

And that's the problem with if/then logic; it isn't. That which typically follows "if" is currently untrue, and therefore cannot possible justify whatever "if" is. In this case, justified blame of the president for who is on the Court, since presidents only nominate, and nearly a quarter of all nomination fail to be appointed, as I said. Blames the Senate for your Court appointees.

Lost 2,000 years?

Nowhere near swarthy enough to be a honest representation of semi-nomadic Arabian tribespeople.

Of course not. Mary was neither semi-nomadic nor Arabian, but, nice try; Mary was 13 or 14 generations from Abraham and the origin of common blood with Arabian tribes.

Schoofly will not seek re-election to the Senate in '28, along with Pelostomy in the House. Both have outlived any further finish line. Jeffries, House minority leader, is also a has been, and actually was never anything but, but will find he has no re-election support from his District in '26.

This piece is called "Wondrous Little Stranger"

The president does not appoint Supremes, they are nominated, only. It is the Senate which makes the appointments. Blame them for the alleged stupidities of appointments, although I see no stupids on that Bench, just variations of opinion, which is the way it is supposed to work, and does in the mid-80s percentile since the Court has overturned itself in a little less than the 15s percentie in its entire history. 

So, why are Domcrats juiced up to stack the Court? Now that is stupid.

Consider that over the same history, 23% of S.C. nominees have failed to be approved by the Senate, so that piece of the puzzle is far more problematic to the Court's relative success than the common accusation that the Court is biased one way or another.

Consider that had Justice Ginsberg survived to see the Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health 2022 case, she would have likely sided with the majority to overturn Roe. She stated in public several times in her later years that she thought Roe was a flawed decision.

In merry old England, and I do mean "'old," the language was a "hlaf," a loaf. And it was not necessarily, even in ancient Palestine, a rectangular block we conceive bread today because then, in both the 1st century and the 11th, the shape was not the critical factor, which, by the way, included being round and flat, but how baked, and for more than one person's consumption; one person did not eat a "loaf" unless a glutton.

Then who made the bread for feeding 5,000 people.

Somebody made it; perhaps the lad's [he is only mentioned in John] mother made five barley loaves, earlier, but we don't know. They were baked by someone. Neither they, nor the two fish, which the mentioned "lad" also had, were not, by themselves, of miraculous origin. We do know that Jesus knew how the 5,000 [counting men, only, with additional women and children, so the multitude may have been as large as 10,000 people]. Jesus knew what he would do to feed the multitude, and may have originated fish sandwiches as a fast food by miraculous means.

Too bad some are not endowed with sufficient experience to know that blue state/red state is a myth, because there is not one single state that has been consistently one color of the other. None of them; they all swap colors. Oops.

Wrong. We are meant to be mortal [we will die] before we are immortal, regardless of mind over matter. Mortality is included detail in the DNA double-helix, the ends of which are protected from degradation by molecules called telomeres, which act like the plastic sleeves put on each end of shoelaces. But, the telomeres themselves cannot duplicate themselves forever without mutation we call aging, just like other cells of the body that degradsew over time by progressive cellular replacement of our 20 - 40 trillion cells, which all replace over a period of about every seven years.

If nothing else ends mortal life, cellular mutation will do the job.

While it is true that a mind focused exclusively on sex thinks sex is all that fills us, while it is evident to the open mind that we are filled by other substances than semen, regardless of orifice, including forced infusion through the skin, or by several orifices direct to the mind. And this has much to do with the agency of man against the myth that we control nothing in our lives.

Because socialism/communism has no positive construct to it whatsoever

Who's "we" but a cabal of Mandami commies who's only concern for a platform of utility is "get Trump" when ignoring Trump in favor of positive people ideas would get you far better results. Can't ignore the guy? Are the Russian pee tapes being re-edited? That's not democracy, boyo. That's just demented.

Did y'all ignore that alternative opinions are the lifeblood of democracy?

I concur; God's "no" is typically silence, and should be understood by us loud and clear.

I do agree with you, just wanted to emphasize the need for gratitude. Glad you agree.

I have no doubt that social psychology is an actual shtick; I just think it is often practiced poorly. Why do you think it's called "practice?" Because that term is often only applied to "professionals."

I seriously think the issue is not why we may not be asking enough, because we often fail to prepare appropriately for the blessings we ask for, and that seems to be a constant stream of supplication. Why should one think God is willing to keep blessing a leaking bucket? An abundance of blessings are wasted when not properly prepared to receive them.

Further, we would be better off if we expressed our gratitude to God for those abundant blessings. I learned a lesson half my life ago that prayer ought to be more abundantly filled with gratitude than supplication. How hard it is to pray exclusively in gratitude, and not ask for anything? It is very hard, and I think that is the way it is supposed to be. We were promised life would be worthwhile, not that it would be easy.

With that attitude, I'd have never purchased my first 1 oz. gold bar in 1970s..

I am fascinated by their ancient culture. I believe they invented the idea of due process, for example.

Tell me when America was of one single mind to break it [allegedly].

That's communist shtick. We're individual minds, my friend, but I understand trying prop up a Penn State academic. She's as big a loser as the Nittannies were last Saturday against Ohio State. Nittany - a solitary mountain lion [as if PA has mountains anything close to the one I live on outside and above Park City]. I'm at 7500 fleet elevation, more than double anything in PA.

I read her WaPo article. A hit job that has cute interactive graphics, but it gets old [repetitive] real fast, considering that, according to Psychology Today, the average person lies 20 times daily, which makes the Trump lie count amassed by the derelict media merely average.

Greek is the fourth language in which I've read the Bible [the Septuagint], the other three being English, French, and Italian.

Yep, that's it, though not in couplet form, but all the words are there.

"relationship" requires reciprocal C's, not just one-way.

Your argument is discard of baby and bathwater. Again, you condemn the philosophy for the thoughts and actions of the people allegedly espousing the philosophy. That's entirely a foul. Have you read the Holy Bible, cover to cover? Have you read the Quran, cover to cover? I have, to both; the former, on four languages; the latter, two. I'll wager you have not, and you are not alone. I have far fewer people in my camp than you in yours. I'll take mine any day, There are people who misinterpret both, and act accordingly. That is not the fault of the text, as it is not for any philosophy.

I'm familiar with the 28-couplet Rede of the Wiccæ, and find there wise counsel. Truth is where it is found, and existed all around us if we're willing to find it. It is not found by assuming it does not exist in any man or woman.

I've also read the Communist Manifesto stem to stern, and understand why that philosophy is not of useful purpose, for it does not know how to create personal wealth, but sure knows how to spend it for all the wrong reasons. Unless one knows how to make it from scratch, no ability of spending will teach how to make it in the first place. Same with religion. Until one knows how peace is created and maintained, war will never be defeated, even within one's self.

A "religion," or a "philosophy," which Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Wiccan, etc, are, are separate entities than the people who espouse them, and there are good and poor examples of people in all of them. The effectiveness of any of them to achieve peace of mind and body is laudable, however, the ability of people to likewise destroy the principles they, themselves, claim to espouse is likewise evident, and unfortunate. But to judge all members of any of these organizations, and the organizations, themselves, by the thoughts and actions of any number of their memebership, or their detractors, is disingenuous in the extreme. It is notable that every one of the examples I gave, and about 20 others of which I am personally aware, espouse in various words, the essentials of the so-called golden rule: "Do unto others..." which tells me me that, at the core, it a universal truth. Any complaints about that?
