Resurfaced comments in which new House Speaker Mike Johnson talked about how he and his son monitor each other’s online activity using “accountability software” have raised questions about national security.
Johnson, a Republican who was first elected to Congress in 2016, spoke in 2022 about how he installed software called Covenant Eyes on his devices during a panel called “War on Technology” at Cypress Baptist Church in Benton, Louisiana, Rolling Stone reported.
According to a clip first posted on X, formerly Twitter, by a user called Receipt Maven, Johnson spoke about how the subscription-based service helps people abstain from internet porn and “objectionable” websites.
Actually, no.
The universe stretches to unfathomable distances, countless trillions of stars, and the god of all this … somehow cares about you at all.
This would be like you caring about an ant. I’m not talking about ants in general. I’m talking about you caring about one specific ant, located in one specific anthill, in a cabin in the middle of the woods. In Russia. To the point where you’ve written an entire book on how that ant should be living its life.
Yeah, I keep up with all the ants. And if they touch their ant penises, straight to ant hell.
Or if they use social media while living in Utah. DAMN THOSE ANTS TO HELL AND BACK AGAIN. Unless they are paying their tithing to the church.
I agree with your definition of god as the unfathomable force that stretches the universe out infinitely in all directions. And possibly that created all of this. But, I don’t believe such a thing is an entity with any feelings. I believe the tangible manifestation of such an entity is in everything that results from it, in all the rocks and pebbles and grains of sand and blades of grass that occur as a result. And thus to me, every ant is valuable and sacred. But not because that entity cares what I do - because that ant is a piece of something much more important and brilliant out there.
