@deprecated_ii satanic depression
And this is just for the Saints. But there's something on the line, regardless whether one is a Saint or not.
It suits Satan to think of yourself as inherently worthless—only able to acquire worth by external means like money, recognition, or status—for this opens the door for compromise, paving the way for him to acquire and crush your soul, which is the true Prize.
"This day has been designated as a commemoration of all of the Saints, all the Righteous, the Prophets, Apostles, Martyrs, Confessors, Shepherds, Teachers, and Holy Monastics, both men and women alike, known and unknown, who have been added to the choirs of the Saints and shall be added, from the time of Adam until the end of the world, who have been perfected in piety and have glorified God by their holy lives."
A Question of Telos
"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"
The world may not know them, but even then the Church remembers them on All Saints Day.
@deprecated_ii remembered by whom? such ambiguous and nebulous questions are fertile ground for lies and heresies to creep into one's mind for good, a good charlatan or manipulator would love you in this exact mental position. The teachings of the historical and traditional Church going back two thousand years protects souls from such satanic nihilist attacks
@gav no I saw on X someone shared an untranslated Russian news source that talked about it. That's why I called it a rumor as I couldn't point to the source. Apparently there is a Russian outlet for native Russian media being translated to other languages but I couldn't bother to look through it when I posted it
@gav good question. he probably did. I mostly shared it here so people post pol-like policies lol

@rlier23 @pyrate @SuperSnekFriend not to defend Buddhism (I'm Orthodox) but the same thing happens with people who convert to the Orthodox Church. There's probably a term for that phenomenon, where fresh converts start lecturing people who grew up in the faith. Perhaps a case of Culprit seeking the venue of the Crime, where the chosen religion becomes a passive participant.
I like how the newest ClariS song would be completely at home in the 80s or 90s, and a different production style/mix would make that quite evident I think
@p can I join your instance? I miss pleroma
@jjohhnn I agree. My first impression is rather positive. I'm surprised by the rather low rating on MAL. Not trying to solve the mystery of average ratings sometimes defying individual expectations, but more often than not they indicate something about quality in some aspect, which I haven't really seen so far here. On the other hand, not few anime started out good and threw everything overboard halfway through or even close to the end.
