A friend is the gift of God

 

 People, young and raw, and soft natured, think it an easy thing to gain love, and reckon their own friendship a sure price of any man's; but when experience shall have shewn them the hardness of most hearts, the hollowness of others, and the baseness and ingratitude of almost all, they will then find that a friend is the gift of God, and that he only who made hearts can unite them.

 

-- Robert South

Christianity Today Magazine was founded to counter the liberalism of The Christian Century, but now it's become its self-loathing mirror image

The Korean American who wrote this story and fancies herself a person of color spends ZERO time, ZIP, ZILCH, NADA, contemplating the endemic racism of her home country against actual people of color, nor how the supposedly racist West's American heirs numbering over 36,000 bled and died so her home country could be free from communist tyranny, including about 3,400 African Americans.

Instead of fixing what's wrong with her own country she's here telling us what's wrong with ours, and Christianity Today wants you to know it.

Bunch of pompous ingrates.

 

 

The blackest vices are the surest steps to favor

The fear of punishment in this life will preserve men from few vices, since some of the blackest often prove the surest steps to favour; such as ingratitude, hypocrisy, treachery and subornation.

-- Jonathan Swift
