@zafulotus.bsky.social Very nice job on your BSA discussion yesterday. Thank you for your time. Can you now please tell Academia to stop sending me emails with the subject line “I’ve Got The Magic Stick?”

@hugomendez.bsky.social Finished your BSA class on the NT today. That was one of the best classes that I’ve ever taken. You are a superb lecturer. Thank you so much for taking time out of your regular teaching & research.

@zafulotus.bsky.social My wife has complained about my rampant cramming of Mark knowledge because of your upcoming BSA discussion. She said, “That woman must seriously hate you.”
I said, “Robyn is very nice, collegial, and wicked smart. I’ll know I’m in the shits when she compares me to Cicero.”

I was at a “liberal” gathering & discussing my views on the New Testament & Jesus. Then politics & I was asked for a few views. I said,
1. Not a Trump supporter.
2. I support mass deportation of illegal aliens.
3. I support Trump’s appointments of non-Fauci medical staff.
No more invites for me!

“Everyone tries to avoid loss, pain, suffering. You want to know something about a person? Tap into those.”

My views on the Pontiff are mixed bag. Summary.
1. Nice man.
2. Too progressive. Vatican II sucked. Church needs to return to Vatican I & all masses should be in Latin.
3. He should have met with more victims of priest sexual abuse.
4. All Popes should be Italian.
5. Need a Zen co-Pope. Me.
6. RIP.

Exactly, and I’m on the write in ballot. Just try to put aside the fact that I’m a Zen Buddhist. It’s a minor detail.

The report comes as parents and regulators have called on social media companies to do more to keep young people safe — and prevent them from spending too much time — on their platforms.

@zafulotus.bsky.social I’m in the running for next Pope since I’m Italian, but I’ve been told that the whole Zen Buddhist thing may work against my candidacy. Hoping that the wonderful and brilliant @candidamoss.bsky.social can pull a few strings for me and mention me on CBS.
